From my associations in university and corporate environments in the US, I have a large number of Indian-ethnicity American friends, and almost all of them are of the typical nuclear family model - husband, wife and one or two kids. Most of the couples hold very traditional views on sex, and often, the husband and wife were introduced to each other by their parents. Very few divorced / single mom households in that community. It’s a stark contrast and something that stands out when you prod at the works to examine their social dynamics.
They all had an Indian bachelors degree topped by a US masters degree (and in some cases, a US PhD). US universities and companies recognise Indian university degrees, and based on how Indian students perform academically in the US, I doubt any trust deficit issue exists over the quality of the Indian university education these people received.
I am aware Filipinos and many Asians live in joint-family households. This may be a factor in skewing the Filipino statistics, but I would doubt its application on the Indian community. A nuclear family with two incomes from individuals with a BS and MS education usually in the hard sciences, medicine or engineering ought to account for the high numbers in that table for this ethnicity.
Yes.
The Indian income level looked quite reasonable to me.
If my comment implied otherwise, I did not mean to.
Pew Research had a survey in 2012 on Asian voting patterns.
On that issue, the news is not so good.
Indian-Americans vote 90% for the Democrat Party, which was a complete shock to me.
Even Americans from Communist China only vote 80% for Democrats.
The Filipinos “only” vote 55% for Democrats, which makes them the most “Conservative” Asian group.
Comparing households is a statistical trick, effective in fooling the uninitiated.
There is no standard definition for ‘household income’. What is a household?
Better to look at mean individual incomes and then I’d still like to see the raw data.
