The Bamboo Ceiling | 2nd Generation Asian American Workplace Challenges

Career Change Advice with Dr. Jon Tam

The Bamboo Ceiling | 2nd Generation Asian American Workplace Challenges

The bamboo ceiling for 2nd generation Asian Americans in the West is a glass ceiling for the children of immigrants who are ethnic minorities from Asia. In this video, I cover the implicit biases and discuss the implicit association test (IAT) and the common stereotypes that Asians face with the bamboo ceiling. By outlining the problem, we can look at ways of breaking the bamboo ceiling by reinventing what Margaret Chin calls the "Asian American playbook" in her book Stuck: Why Asian Americans Don't Reach the Top of the Corporate Ladder, to circumvent discrimination by discussing Susan Fiske’s stereotype content model and other sociological research.
