That Asians don't encounter racism in the aspect of salary inequality is false. Yes, on average Asians earn more. However, once you control for education or examine individuals with the same qualifications, Asians actually earn less than whites.

Diminishing returns may play a role in this.
To use extremes, if 1% of a population has a PHD then holding a PHD may be a proxy for other desired things. If 99% of a population has a PHD then it's less useful as a proxy.
PS: On it's own a few years of post secondary education don't actually mean much, so a large chunk of the value is as a proxy.
