Discuss the effect of the bamboo ceiling
What will be an ideal response?
Even with all the "tools" to succeed—supportive family, high achievement, and often attending prestigious schools—Asian Americans often hit what has been termed a bamboo ceiling. The bamboo ceiling refers to the barrier that talented Asian Americans face because of resentment and intolerance directed toward Asian Americans. The bamboo ceiling is clearly a nod to the term glass ceiling, a term that has historically been used to address barriers that women and minority group men have faced in the workplace. The presence of the bamboo ceiling reflects the cultural values and social norms that impact Asian professionals' interactions with others and cause others to make negative judgments about them.
