Indian American privilege is the new white privilege.

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Indian Americans have a median income of around $60,000 which is the highest of any national origin group in the United States and Merrill Lynch recently revealed that there are nearly 200,000 Indian American millionaires.

Yeah, and meanwhile Americans take everything for granted and fail to realize that superiority and everything else must be earned and kept. This happens with a lot of things so unless something is done, our lazy generation will get dominated by other countries.
