> implies native born americans are dramatically under represented.
Two things:
1. I see few Native Americans at graduate levels in technical fields. Maybe because the American culture, unlike Eastern countries, does not encourage students to go to college? Maybe because there are way more jobs out there that don't require that high-ed degrees? Maybe because Americans already live in the US whereas for a typical Chinese/Indian person, getting a Ph.D. is a ticket to come to the US?
2. DEI policies in the industry and academia sometimes lead to over-presentation of those nationalities (speaking as a foreign national myself). Companies can treat an H1B visa holder any way they want because the visa holder wouldn't get another job if they got fired, but the comapny can't behave like that towards a native American.
Native American means something else. Probably shouldn’t capitalize “native” if you want your point to be clear.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. See: common complaint of everyone with a pulse having been convinced of going to college by the boomer generation.
Relative few people get Masters+ because it’s not a ticket to get into the US for people already here.
