We're really not all created equal, are we?
I know I'm going get creamed for this but there's got to be something about the superiority of certain races when it comes to performing particular tasks. I remember watching the World's Strongest Man contest and thinking, how come there are no Asians in the competition? I mean they were mostly white, from Northern Europe and way taller than the average Joe, or in this case, Nguyen.
Also, how come there are no Filipinos in the NBA? There are tall Filipinos (I'm taller than Spud Web by at least a couple of three inches). Plus, basketball is the national sport of the Philippines! I've seen some really good Filipino ball handlers but they can't hold a candle to Steve Nash.
So maybe we suck at athletics but we sure do well in school and in business. We excel in small or family owned enterprises but seem to peter out at middle-management in the corporate world. Maybe it's the glass ceiling, I don't know. But maybe, as a race, we don't take enough risks to get noticed at that level.
Anyway, I'm rambling, it's late, but I just needed a break from creating my business plan and this thought popped in my head. Let me know your thoughts on the subject though.
