Is there a theory for why south and east asians are over-represented in the sciences, and how this fits into white supremacy?

Developing countries like China and India prize STEM studies as they lead to well-paying careers.

Those may appear to be over-represented in work visas because that's what US companies want to hire.

Nothing to do with white supremacy.

To expand on what that means, most of the CCP central committee are engineers, while US representatives have a high percentage of lawyers.

Engineers build things, and lawyers debate things.

So Pudong Airport has a 300 kph maglev train to downtown Shanghai since 2002, and we don't have any. (There's a nice maglev museum in the Shanghai terminus that only takes 30 min to 60 min to view.)

I guess I'm asking that, if white supremacy is keeping black people out of the sciences, why does it not keep people of other ethnic backgrounds out of STEM professions in the U.S.?

EDIT: clarified my question a bit.
