From the wiki entry about Bamboo Ceilings
Another commonly cited barrier, complementary to the bamboo ceiling, is the "sticky floor." When applied to the Asian American experience, the sticky floor refers to the phenomenon by which young professionals of Asian descent are often trapped in low-level, low-mobility jobs. Asian Americans graduate from universities in high numbers, and firms tend to hire them in high numbers as well. However, within a few years, many claim to find themselves pigeonholed into dead-end careers with no path for advancement to upper-level corporate careers. This process is visible across a number of fields, including business, academia, and law. Even in areas where Asian Americans are believed to excel, such as software engineering, there is an overall tendency to see them assigned to low-ranking positions with fewer opportunities for advancement compared to other racial groups.

The BC Project (integration of British Chinese into politics) carries a British Chinese Online Identities paper on its website. The paper states that there has been a lack of cultural visibility highlighted in the early years of the 21st century and brought to light a survey conducted by the Guardian in early 2005 which revealed the low level of integration among Chinese people in Britain, who reportedly felt the least British among all ethnic minority groups. The Chinese British society seems disengaged with UK society and electoral commission figures suggest around 30% of registered Chinese voters never vote.
THIRTY PERCENT!!!!
From my work politics plays a huge role ok? International relations is what I live and breathe yet to see over 30% of the British Chinese disenfranchised because they feel completely disconnected from the social norms.
You say what could be seen as fairly reasonable comments about corporate time paying, but Europe's OLDEST Chinatown is in the UK, it's in Liverpool, it's been there for over 600 sodding years... If that hasn't been long enough... well, how sodding long is long enough?
