&gt; &#x27;Asians&#x27; are a minority in the overall United States&#x27; population, but overrepresented in technology.<p>Because &#x27;Asians&#x27; are too broad a category to be meaningful.<p>If a company of 10,000 people had 480 people from China and nobody from any other country east of Turkey, they would have the exact same percentage of &quot;Asian&quot; people as the general population in the US, but that doesn&#x27;t mean that &quot;Asian&quot; people are not underrepresented at that company.
