We all know about the Asians in pro sports and the movies, but what about all the Asian Americans who have won respect in the professional world?

There are hundreds of thousands of Asian American doctors, lawyers, corporate executives, educators, engineers, architects, investment bankers, judges, civil servants, etc. who give Asian Americans a presence that exceeds our share of the population by a factor of two or more. But very few ever get the kind of press lavished on the relatively small number of Asians on baseballs fields, basketball courts and the big screen.

The people we've listed in the poll are only a few samples. If you know of other Asian Americans worthy of admiration, share them with us!
