Asian Americans are typically stereotyped as a “Model Minority”, but a significant majority are facing a “Bamboo/ Glass Ceiling” and treated as “Scapegoats” in the working place.
In May 2015, a coalition of 60 Asian Pacific Americans (“APA”) jointly filed a complaint of college admissions discrimination against several Ivy League Universities due to being denied admission to these Universities by highly qualified APA applicants.
On June 1, 2015, Ellen Pao, a Chinese American female filed a court notice indicating she plans to appeal the verdict in her gender discrimination lawsuit against Menlo Park-based venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
