Abstract: This paper seeks to review literature by other authors and researchers on the concept of ‘bamboo ceiling’, given by jane hyun, in white-dominated countries in general and America, in particular. It analyses the situation of asian American students and the stereotypes related to them in a mixed culture setting. It then analyses the situation of asian American employees and the problems faced by them in the professional setting, in seeking executive and managerial positions, and the reasons associated with this discriminated- lack of leadership skills and asian values taught by the parents in their upbringing. It discusses the problematic nature of the subtle promotion of white values for reaching higher position and breaking through the bamboo ceiling. It also shows the variations seen within the bamboo ceiling and the problems faced by asian women and Asians with varied gender and sexual orientations. It discusses the issues with racial discrimination faced by Asians in their careers.
