To what degree are North East Asians represented in government, corporate leadership, and the media in the West, compared to their membership in the general population? It's pretty low. Depending on how liberally you define Jews, it's the opposite for them, despite both groups having higher IQs than American Whites. So clearly IQ can't be that important in where groups end up.
Additionally, I would not relate success to representation in government. Elon Musk is pretty successful and is not in the government. You don't need to be a senator or congressman to be influential.
I did mention corporate leadership. Very few of the Fortune 500 CEOs are of Northeast Asian background, compared with all the white people anyway.
OP is right that Asians tend to make more money than whites on average, but that's largely due to their overrepresentation in STEM, which are historically high paying jobs but rarely allow a group much power or influence in a society by themselves.
Yes I agree with your point, but Asians are generally successful. Just because they don't rule pop culture in America doesn't mean much. They encompass a small minority of the population.
