lol, i tried doing a bit of research on why there are more Indian CEOs than east Asian CEOs, and found this. Hilarious.
Do whites in the U.S. consider Indian Americans more "American" than East Asian Americans, due to similarities in facial features?
Yes, Indians are DEFINITELY considered more American than East Asians.
-I'm Chinese American. I get the "foreign," unsavory vibe much more than the Indians I know. Even in my snootily "progressive" city, I've been called "chink" and bullied due to my ethnicity.
-I can't "hide" my Chinese appearance the way my Indian, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern friends can. They can easily blend in and belong in the white landscape. There's no way I can "pass" the way these other groups can.
-East Asians are much more likely to be excluded, shunned, and bullied than Indians due to stereotypes and racism - much of what has to do with a differing physical appearance.
-There's a plethora of famous, successful Indian Americans, such as Atul Gawande, Deepak Chopra, Paul Kalanithi (RIP), Sanjay Gupta, and more. There's a whole cult of the Indian American doctor-writer. They blend into white America and marry white women. No East Asian men of similar talent and ambition can blend in and be accepted as easily.
-Indians don't face a "curry ceiling" as strongly as East Asians face a "bamboo ceiling." Indians rise up to management and CEO positions much more easily than East Asians.
-In contrast to what Monika Kothari is saying, Indian Americans are much more likely to out-marry than East Asians. East Asian men are considered unattractive and undesirable in America, while Indian men do not suffer from this terrible stigma.
-As others have said, subconsciously, Indians are considered more like "one of them" because their physical appearance is more similar to white people - facial features, eyes, build, etc. Therefore, Indian Americans are considered more attractive, treated better, hired more, respected more, promoted more, and seen more positively in general. This makes Indian Americans suffer from less depression, bullying, and exclusion than East Asians of similar intelligence, personality, education, etc.
