Heck,Middle man minorities as a rule are over represented in many fields because when the general population doesn't have a value system that values things like trade, education and certain skills then some one is going to fill the void or its not going to be filled period.
Also I hate the term over represented because it has been used to fuck us over, and fuck over the asians and other groups that work hard. Their is nothing special about success and what works for middle men minorities of all types can be applied by the majority populations and quite frequently is.
In quite a few cases, the middle-man minorities (mmm) picked up the cultural 'success package' of valuing hard work, study, and saving for the future from the local dominant culture. It was when the local dominant culture dropped those values and the mmm didn't, that the variance in outcomes and resultant jealousy started to make themselves known. With the possible exception of the europeans breeding intellectual curiosity out of their descendants for a few centuries, there are unlikely to be notable, much less insuperable, genetic roadblocks to success for any given group. Our problems are almost always self inflicted (cultural) and exacerbated by selfish and shortsighted leadership (pretty much always and everywhere, with a few notable and insufficiently celebrated exceptions).
