What's with this Bamboo ceiling BS

[Jason Voorhees]

I have this Asian colleague who's super talented but is afraid to speak up. Amazing guy I've never met someone who does the kind of stuff he does with Rust. He knows all the kernels, great OS and system design knowledge. He understands the exact inner workings of all abstraction layers all that deep nitty gritty stuff that people in my domain miss out on. I've learned more from him than some of the seniors I've worked with. We're remote now so I personally see his code/output shine but in meetings he is all quiet. He's cool with playing the subservient role, never pushes back on some retarded idea and just grinds away in the background. It's so frustrating to see because I know this nigga isn't dumb.

He has some great point to make, he is high iq. I have to stand up for him. Call out when his ideas get ignored, credit him in chats. But he needs to own it too.

I don't understand why he does this. Muh bamboo tax. No nigga you is a fucking pussy. I've argued with managers more times than I can count and I'm literally a curry.

He's always like Idc man as long as I get paid he doesn't care and says he is not interested in office politics but damn nigga you say you want to found a startup someday build something big but how you finna do that? In tech especially Silicon Valley style companies. Getting into C suite leadership means speaking up, challenging bad calls, self promoting your wins and networking aggressively. You need to make your point. How tf are you going to be CEO who is afraid of fighting, who can't stand up for yourself and holds onto your opinions and

To be a chink is to be a cuck.

This is very common with Asians unfortunately. Literally most gooks I knew in the UK were super high inhib. And if I had to guess why your coworker is like that, it’s likely down to the way his parents raised him

This obviously isn’t the case for all Asians, but my parents would shut me down a lot when I was a kid and that stuff really carries into adulthood. So it’s pretty hard to grow out of

I can relate to him tbh, im the same in school, i know everything about most subjects talked about but never speak up

 

[SomaliSub5]

its a common thing with asians, they tend to keep their head down and avoid conflict and confrontation, no matter how small or big

 

[Maxillular]

The chinks are just fucking hopeless man. This is just how they are. All that "IQ" and for what? Just to be a better slave?

 

[Swarthy Knight]

Asians tend to be passive in general. They just do whatever is necessary and eff off. Probably a result of tiger parenting and expectations of perfectionism. That mentality tends to instill fear of taking risks and being outspoken

I wanna make fun of em but I'm low key just like your colleague too (minus the intelligence part) so I can't rly speak

Being the "Model Minority" did a lot of damage to their psyche

It did it's job and practically subsidized them

I have Chinese co-workers and had the same experience lmao like almost word for word. I don't hate them for it though because they shine in small-medium sized family businesses or amongst their own they're clannish asf. your boy actually has a decent chance at making a startup because they're good at being founders if they can synthesise a group that's mostly them.

this observation can be said for anything though, like the black ceiling, blacks aren't poor because of slavery or red lining, they're poor because their cultural values don't have long term wealth building properties.
