I'm assuming it was a hypothetical. If several highly publicized Sri Lankan CEOs failed miserably - would people come to a conclusion about Sri Lankan CEO's being worse, and be less likely to support them in the future? The OP thinks people would take the pattern of Sri Lankan CEO's and extrapolate. Replace "Sri Lankan" with "Female" - and maybe this pattern will apply to future Women CEOs as well.
