Hi, I'm here to take sole responsibility for this headline. "Bamboo ceiling" is a real term used to describe the difficulty Asian Americans in the corporate world face in breaking through to upper management. (cont'd)

I totally understand why many people are offended by the headline given media's lengthy history of problematic headlines about Asian culture. I had hoped to make a legitimate reference despite that context, but you may think I judged wrongly. That's fair!
I added a line in the article to explain the phrase's origins. You may or may not find it acceptable, but at least you have an explanation.
And as always, I appreciate it when people care about words, particularly when they are used in reference to marginalized people.

Update: My editor asked me to change the headline, so I did. Again, because I believe in full transparency, the original headline, which I wrote, is below.
