<p>Norman Mineta - US Secretary of Transportation</p>
<p>These are probably some of the most visible Asian Americans in the media today. And they all attended their undergraduate at UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Undergraduate is the most sensitive and growth shaping experience of anyones lives. Asian Americans growing in traditional sheltered high school environments, will sometimes feel suffocated in reaching their true personality potential at other top schools. However, at Berkeley, this is not the case, as you can see from the Asian American alumni above that have changed America by their visible personality and leadership abilities alone.</p>
<p>Gene Kan was EECS I believe. And Norman Mineta was Haas. John Cho was English major, and Will Yun Lee, Im not sure, but he was on athletic scholarship.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s right, Asian-Americans from Stanford actually do something truly spectacular like starting up publicly traded multibillion dollar companies rather than making B-rated movies or embarrassing themselves in front of millions like Berkeley’s William Hung.</p>
<p>No he’s not. Also, given the lack of Asian Americans in the US media, UC Berkeley Asians are quite good at shattering ceilings and stereotypes. To be a visible person, you need more than just smarts. You need charisma, personality, presence, etc… All these leadership skills are not developed overnight, they are developed at Berkeley. Where Asian Americans can truly reach their inner potential. </p>
<p>To be honest with you, the Stanfurd Asians I meet seem very geekish, mild, and omega males. Berkeley is where the Alpha Asian males are at.</p>
<p>Uhh…you obviously don’t read the Wall Street Journal and don’t keep up with the business world. Jerry Yang is probably the most powerful Asian-American there is. Period.</p>
<p>LOL Softbank is not even publicly traded on the NASDAQ or the NYSE. You call that power? It probably isn’t even worth a billion dollars. No-name companies don’t count man.</p>
<p>YAHOO- NASDAQ national market-- net worth: 56.40 Billion Dollars
Softbank- not publicly traded-- net worth: cannot be determined and probably under 20 million</p>
<p>Having control over a 56.4 Billion dollar company is definitely much more noteworthy. Mayasoshi might as well go suck on a peanut. He is nothing.</p>
<p>I have no clue. I never met them on campus. They musta hung out with a different crowd. </p>
<p>Softbank actually had a significant stake in Yahoo during mezannine round venture financings, and had a seat on the board of Directors for Yahoo. So in fact, Jerry Yang was working for Mayasoshi Son.</p>
<p>So Stanfurd Asians should be careful. Because y’all are gonna be workin for a Berkeley Asian one day. MUHAHAHAHAHA!</p>
<p>If Moresushi invested a negligible amount of stock in Yahoo it doesnt mean that he is Yahoo’s boss. That is such a illogical argument. Being on the board of directors, if that is even true, still makes Moresushi a relative loser compared to the greatness of Yang. </p>
<p>Jerry Yang is literally 5000 or more so times richer than Moresushi. He could buy out Moresushi if he wanted to but Softbank is such an unattractive company that Jerry Yang could care less about it. Moresushi can indeed afford to buy a lot of sushi though. Cheers!</p>
<p>“OK, your officially an idiot. You have no idea wut u are talking about. I wont even bother educating you.”</p>
<p>Yeah I know Softbank is a venture capital company that invests in the technology sector. You call that power? You don’t think Yahoo! invests on a much larger scale and actually buys entire companies out? Just face it. Softbank is a fly compared to the mammoth Yahoo!.</p>
<p>Okay listen here. Compare their friggin assests. Jerry Yang’s 56.40 Billion versus what? How much does Softbank have? It’s so small that it isn’t even publicly traded. Moresushi can be Jerry Yang’s call-boy but that’s it.</p>
<p>I don’t think you understand how big Softbank is. It used to own almost the entire internet industry and the entire NASDAQ in Japan. Let alone just list on it. </p>
<p>Yahoo is seriously like a peanut compared to Softbank. </p>
<p>Mayasoshi Son owns an entire Baseball team in Japan. Jerry Yang, watches baseball games. </p>
<p>Owning a baseball team vs. Watching a baseball game… hmm now lemme think about that.</p>
<p>Afraid of the true numbers? If “Yahoo is seriously like a peanut compared to Softbank” then prove it. Why is Yahoo worth 54 Billion and Softbank isn’t even listed? Yahoo is almost bigger than McDonalds and Nike combined. Go look for yourself on none other than Yahoo! Finance. Check the ticker symbols MCD and NKE. McDonalds and Nike have long been touted as symbols of Corporate America, and Jerry Yang, an Asian-American from Stanford University has surpassed two of America’s biggest and longest standing corporations in less than a decade. I call that power.</p>
