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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_American

The rest of them are stuck in India. All of the doctors and surgeons in India LEAVE because they get payed so low and they have high-paying jobs. jakelong Posted at 11:13 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from ronpaul691 at 10:24 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 What does your research show about blacks and hispanics? Aks the resident racialists they'll tell you smartlake Posted at 10:51 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Indians are (probably) the most educated of all Americans.  Well, at least around here.  All of my Chem teachers and lab TA's (note, a science) have been Indian.  So is our family doctor.  Good for them, I guess. ronpaul691 Posted at 10:24 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from jakelong at 10:15 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 nah thy're entitled to be rich because they're racially superior to whites   What does your research show about blacks and hispanics? jakelong Posted at 10:18 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from ronpaul691 at 9:45 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 White people should get affirmative action to catch up to brown-skinned Indian Americans. Already happening http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2005/06/asian-americans-hurt-by-affirmative.html From Gene Expression, results of a new Princeton study showing that if affirmative action were eliminated at elite universities, 80% of the previously reserved slots would go to Asian Americans. I predict little or no protest from model-minority Asians over this. The paper can be found here, but you need a subscription to Social Science Quarterly to read it. The researchers' results seem to be in agreement with what happened at Berkeley after UC was forced to drop affirmative action - the main effect was a drop in the numbers of black and hispanic students, a big increase in the number of Asians and little effect on the white population. Why wouldn't white and Asian-American applicants benefit equally if admission were purely by merit? It sounds suspiciously like the quota system imposed on Jews early in the 20th century. Previous research by these authors showed that being Asian was statistically equivalent to a penalty of 50 points on SAT score. (Probably due to preference awarded to "legacies", who are predominantly white.) Happy? jakelong Posted at 10:15 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 nah thy're entitled to be rich because they're racially superior to whites     Of all Indian Americans 25 years of age or older residing in New Hampshire, more than 83% possessed a bachelor's degree of higher. (Source: 2000 US Census Bureau Report) http://www.usinpac.com/nh/indian_americans_nh.html There also may be cognitive differences between Asians and Caucasians. Asian Americans for example frequently outscore European American on the math portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In the United States moreover, people of Asian Indian Korean, filipino, and Chinese descent are more likely to graduate high school and complete four years of college than European American, African American and Latino and Latina American http://tinyurl.com/8fdtfw After all its no wonder: they are the TRUE aryans...

This happens with a lot of things so unless something is done, our lazy generation will get dominated by other countries.
