Would you understood better if I gave you a picture rather than using polysylabic words?

My point is that their wealth is due to their ability to assimilate into the American economy and culture, while the countervailing opinion here is that they don't, that they aren't creative, that they abuse fellow Indians with H1B visas, etc.

Go back and read my first post. Or fly a kite.

Your point is something of a non sequitur to the thread for the following reasons.

1) You mentioned doctors, for example. How many MD's are here on H1B visas? Remember? The medical industry covets shortages to drive up physician compensation.

2) Assimilating to the culture gives the game away. If the Indians were so superior, why didn't THEIR culture produce inventiveness, drive, and prodigious wealth? Back in the 1800's or so, India was wealthier than the US. And the US's "exploitation" was of blacks and (Cherokee, Sioux, Ojibwe, etc.) Indians, not Hindu (Hadji of Jonny Quest) Indians.

And you spelled "polysyllabic" as "polysylabic". Which brings up one more point. Too often Indians are praised despite being incomprehensible, and using language in emails which would get an American summarily FIRED on the spot. I thought business valued communication. It'd be nice to have the same standards about "being qualified" applied to all comers. :-) (Cheap shot, sure. But it's annoying to be lied to so blatantly by tech support. I am tempted to answer in a broad Texas drawl, "Y'awl, my name's Srikant, an' I gotta problem I ain't been able to solve, so I'm fixin' to ask some questions.")

Cheers!
