<p>Lulz. Please don’t drag this down into a CC-style one-sided affirmative action debate, because it’s not. Top schools have absolutely nothing to do with career leadership of any form.</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, careers in politics are not very popular in most circles in the US. In my rural area, which is mostly composed of working class and lower middle class people, it’s often seen as ludicrous when a capable young person chooses a career as subjective and as inconsistent as politics. People in stable careers are usually much more respected. Since, as others have pointed out, most Asians have immigrated relatively recently, they probably don’t feel well-established enough to assume public positions.</p>
