This is a strange comment. You're pretending I hold some opinion about the participation of Asians in the IT sector in the US, and then proceed to explain why that opinion is wrong, all the while never answering my question about the topic at hand.
For reference, the comparison to Asians in the US job market seems misplaced.
From the numbers I found, the representation of Asians in admissions, industry and faculty seems to line up pretty accurately. They represent 10-11% of STEM students, 13% of STEM workers, and 11% of STEM professors. I didn't find detailed numbers for IT specifically.
On the other hand, according to what was written in this thread, OBC people represent 50% of IIT students, but only 1/180 or about 0.6% of IIT professors.
