Asian (East Asian): -0.600% 80 3.300%
Asian (Indian subcontinent): +0.300% 60 2.500%

Something I've been curious about for a while is the low proportion of Asian and Indian people in the LWsphere compared to STEM communties in general. Any ideas?

I'm not sure that "STEM communities" is a valid reference group for LW.

There are very few East Asians in Europe, compared to North America. About 30 percent of LWers are from Europe.
