Transcript

The Lack of Asians and Asian-Americans in Professional Sports

Stereotype Threat

Asians and Asian-Americans in Society

  • 5% of US population is Asian

  • 0.3% of corporate officers

  • less than 1% of board members

  • less than 2% of college presidents

  • Fortune 500: only 9 CEOs are of Asian descent

Future Research

Sports as a Microcosm of Society:

Stereotypes of Asians and Asian-Americans

  • continue Racial and Gender Report Card

  • conduct research on stereotype threat and how to reduce it

  • conduct research at the high school level and youth leagues

  • research in foreign nations' sports leagues
  • arduous and hard working, "nerdy", smart, good at math

  • 15-25% of students in Ivy League schools are of Asian descent

  • 52.4% of Asian-Americans graduated college
  • national average was 30%

Leveling the Playing Field

Stereotypes in Sports

  • teach society that stereotypes do not define a certain race

  • teach Asians and Asian-Americans to break through the "bamboo ceiling" and stereotype threat

  • create leagues for Asians so they know they are capable of playing sports at a high level
  • uncoordinated, physically inferior, not athletic

  • Asian parents put an enormous amount of pressure and value on education and academics

  • "It is common that coaches and teachers at schools presume that an Asian American kid belongs in the science lab, not on the football field."

  • lack of diversity in sports which may further discourage Asian athletes from progressing in sports and amplify the stereotypes against them
