What is this bamboo ceiling in tech that they are talking about? The last time I checked the CEOs of Microsoft and Google weren’t the stereotypical ethnicity.

The fact that some South Asians rise to high ranking positions in tech in the US does not mean that Asians in tech overall are not disadvantaged in practice in advancement in the field in the US.

(I have no real opinion about whether there is a bamboo ceiling effect in tech, not having done any study of the question, but the two examples you point to are far from even a strong reason to doubt the effect.)
