He argues that East Asian men underperform in American corporate status because the boardroom rewards assertiveness, risk tolerance, emotional intelligence, collaboration, and articulate debate, not only obedience and academic focus.
East Asian men may have high income and academic performance but still hold lower American social status than their income would suggest.
Jiang uses OkCupid-style dating statistics to argue that East Asian men are among the groups most discriminated against in the American dating market, alongside Black women.
He says marriage patterns intensify the disparity: East Asian women are far more likely than East Asian men to marry white partners, leaving many young East Asian men single.
He uses his own move from North America to China as an example of seeking status, saying he could make money in America but could not achieve high status there as an East Asian man.
His closing view is that many East Asian men in America may live decently and make money, but will remain low status and face marriage-market problems that affect descendants.
