But I guess this is what happens when losers are confronted with a genius with brown skin.

It has nothing to do with the color of their/your skins,and everything to do with the attitudes many Indians and Pakastanians display once they get here. It has to do with arrogance and "stand-offishness",and so many of you getting government loans at 0% percent interest to buy a going business and not having to pay any income taxes the first 7 years you are here. It has to do with the superior attitude many/most/all I have ever met of these new immigrants display towards Americans. It has to do with even simple stuff like buying up all the gas stations and convenience stores along interstates in certain areas,and then even denying people the right to use the rest rooms unless they buy gas.

It has nothing to do with genius,which rises to the surface in all races and groupings of people,as does stupidity. It DOES have to do with foreigners to this country who have learned how to "play the game" and come here as "persecuted religious minority" refugees and immediately start filling out the papers for grants,free housing,low or zero interest loans,etc,etc,etc. that are NOT available to most American citizens. Nope,that has NOTHING to do with "genius",and everything to do with coaching people how to take advantage of a system they then turn around and ignore. Even after all these special advantages that this country gives you,every single one of you that I have ever seen do everything in their power to keep the culture you allegedy ran away from,and deny American as being inferior.

I will grant you that it is not YOUR (the collective you) fault the US gooberment shows favoritism to foreigners and penalizes her own citizens,but none the less you have to recogonize the reality that this "favored position" will be held against you by people born in this country who can't get these deals.

In short,I'm a American Indian,and I don't much like you people,either. No,I do NOT know all of you. What I do know is that I have yet to meet a single one of you I would call 911 for if you were laying dying along the side of the road. This has nothing to do with either genius or skin color,and everything to do with the attitudes I see on display.

You seem to think theat the majority of Indian people in this country are "arrogant", "stand-offish", an that they have a "superior attitude." Maybe the peoploe you saw were like that---I don't know. Most of the Indian people I know behave pretty much like everyone else.

I have seen white owners of gas stations also not let people use the rest room unless they were buying gas or something else. It seems a common enough practive in the industry.

The vast majority of Indians came here in the course of the normal visa process, they did not cliam "perscuted religious minority (refugee) status."

I don't think Indians in this country are smarter than anyone else. Having written that, at least statistically speaking, they do seem to be more successful than most (or all) ethnic groups. They are 1% of the population yet 5% of the doctors. They also comprise 20-25% of the computer programmers and engineers in this country. In U.S. medical schools, they comprise 10% of the student population. In many surveys they are (on a per-cpita basis) the wealthiest ethnic group in America.

As far as Indians (or anybody else) keeping to their culture, what is so wrong about that? They tend to have their own social groups, which white Americans (and everybody else) also tend to do.

Go back to drinking your fire water, Hiawatha.
