There are so many Sri Lankans in America both the Tamils and Sinhalese holding top positions. And hundreds of white Americans working under them. But back home in Sri Lanka every one has to listen to this American woman as if she has all the wisdom.

Hi there Mr Wisdom whisperer, your statement really shows you haven't travelled enough and your point is not a pleasant one to display. Few things to point out, firstly, you don't mention woman in a statement, this is regarded as a bias towards women, and secondly who the hell are you talk about other people. Look at your country full of bureaucratic and selfish people. Look at your self before talking about other.

Jana, go to America and visit the Silicon Valley then you would see how our South Asian brain power is keeping America at the top.
