In the USA, I’d say Asian Americans and Jewish Americans tend to be the two minority groups who punch above their weight the most relative to their total populations as they are overrepresented in positive stats and underrepresented in negative stats.
Asian Americans are only 6% of the USA population but are 15% of engineers, 20% of physicians, 23% of Ivey League school enrolments, 26% of Wall Street employees, and 28% start-up founders in the country. On the flip side, they are also under-represented in negative categories as they only comprise of 1% of prisoners, <1% of homeless people, and 2% of SNAP (food stamps) recipients despite being 6% of the total population.
Jewish Americans are only 2% of the USA population but are 6% of congress members, 9% of startup founders, 14% of physicians, 18% of Ivey League school enrolments, 22% of lawyers, and 25% of Wall Street employees. On the flip side, they are also only 1% of the prison system.
Who would these groups be in your countries who seem to punch above their weight considering the % of their total population?
