They get paid all that even though you can't hardly understand a word they're saying when you call 'customer service?' /s
Thank you for the interesting ping.
Nikki Haley ping....
Correction: I meant “post,” not “ping.”
And most of them are, uh, “black”. What to do now?
The rules of caste - varna and jati - are so complicated, it’s a wonder Indians find anyone to marry at all.
Fortunately for them, there’s a billion of them, which makes finding someone - anyone - somewhat less insurmountable.
Indian Americans - dot or feather?
Odd that they did not include Jews.
I seriously did not know indians were considered asians
more power to all asian immigrants, they work hard and know how to take care of their families
the democratic leanings are probably counterproductive for them, I think/hope they will realize that sometime
Dot, as in mainly Hindu.
Ahhh, they’re just racist. /s
Never seen any of ‘em laid off at my former ex-tech firm.
This is an interesting development. They tend to be solidly Democrat most of the time, but can be persuaded to vote Republican with the right candidate and the right kind of appeal.
Don’t count on it
They are another race who feels they are entitled and that YT owes them.
The young ones might be successful but they quickly bring their relatives over and sign them up for all the goodies given out by the government.
Simple question, if Indians value hard work and education so much then why is India a 3rd world cesspool?
Actually, numerous surveys and articles have been available with data showing Indian-origin Americans being the ethnicity least likely to be on public / government welfare (less than 1% of the community receive it).
Many have been posted right here on FR. You’re bound to find them if you look for them.
Learn history! The British ruled India until 1947 for 150 years, who systematically prevented industrialization by exporting raw materials from India to Britain and then exporing finished goods to India. Then the big government party of Nehru dominated the country until 20 years or so ago, when Janata party won majority in parliament and began encouragement of free market capitalism. If you think it is easy to move 1200 million people from near poverty into prosperity in 20 years, think again.
However the increase in GDP in last 2 decades has been phenomenal, growing at 3 to 4 times faster than US.
Another factoid: India had the worlds highest GDP for over thousand years until the 17 the century when for various reasons, which are too long a narrative to go into here, the country descended into an economic malaise.
