It’s a kind of privilege because of the American stereotype that Asians are good at math

Being used to thinking of yourself as just part of a larger social system, due to Asian culture, leads to more facility with designing complex software systems

Based on the rest of the thread, I think you mean East Asians rather than Asians. Or maybe Chinese. As far as I know, we Indians don't feel part of a "larger social system". I would like to know what that means. Perhaps a different thread?

The generalization here is that Americans are more individualistic and Asians (yes, I mostly mean East Asians, due to my personal experience) are more communitarian. I would love to hear your take on how your experience as an Indian relates to that.

Actually I have found Americans more organized and communitarian than Indians. Lived there for 16 years. They may have broken off from large family groups but a strong sense of community exists, even in large cities. Confused about *individualistic*.

Interesting. Perhaps Indians are even more individualistic? My American experience is also very coastal.

Now that I think about it, I am not sure what individualism means. Need to read it up. I have a feeling that it's part of the American national myth of being a frontier economy.
