Im asian-american and there are substantial differences between asian culture (especially if your parents are immigrants) from a typical white person greek system culture (even ivy league greek culture).

Keep your head down, dont make waves, dont ask for raises, dont cause trouble, follow the rules, be humble, are all great for fitting in to the machine, but not necessarily for becoming a leader.

In my neighborhood (mostly wealthy white) the people are so pushy, I can't believe the expectations they have for how the world should cater to them for every little thing.
