Yes, and in all seriousness, I also wonder (among other immigrant-related puzzles) about the following:
1. Why Cambodians dominate the donut trade in SoCal?
2. Why Ethiopians manage all the parking lots in Wash DC?
3. Why Indians from India own almost all the small motels in the USA?
It's really pretty interesting to read up on the Patel clan and it's tentacles.....they'll start out with a Super 8 in Nowheresville and get "promoted" up to maybe a Holiday Inn Express -- with really no end in sight.
I’ve wondered about other immigrant groups such as you describe as well.
And it makes me wonder, could blacks, particularly those who want to escape the ghetto, ever find their niche and be able to run a business and escape ghetto life???
Don’t forget the service stations!
Because they are Motel Sikhs?
