Abstract
ABSTRACTIn his critical comment, Zigerell focuses on three related, yet distinct, claims in our work. First, second-generation Asians are over-credentialed in education to achieve professional parity with whites. Second, second-generation Asians' educational advantage over whites disappears in the labour market where Asians are only as likely as whites to attain a managerial or professional occupation. Third, second-generation Asians might face a bamboo ceiling in the workplace, not unlike the glass ceiling that women face. In this rejoinder, we argue that Zigerell conflates these three distinct claims, and the conflation of these claims underlies his criticism of our work. As a result, his criticism fails to negate the substantive conclusion of our research.
