-- Posted by ronpaul691 at 8:25 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_American -- Posted by iconoclast at 8:26 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Yeah, Indians around here are pretty fucking rich. -- Posted by runthespread at 8:26 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Does that buy back the entire continent, though? -- Posted by Brainheartlunggut at 8:26 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 We stole their land... -- Posted by iconoclast at 8:27 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Quote: from Brainheartlunggut at 11:26 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 We stole their land... hes not talking about feathers, hes talkin about dots -- Posted by Brainheartlunggut at 8:29 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 Quote: from prisoner of hss at 4:27 am on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from Brainheartlunggut at 11:26 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 We stole their land... hes not talking about feathers, hes talkin about dots Ah, okay.

Keep blaming your problems on racism while the brown-skinned Indian Americans are driving around in their Bentleys enjoying all the finer things this country has to offer lol. -- Posted by jakelong at 9:26 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Obvious troll is too obvious. -- Posted by ronpaul691 at 9:45 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from jakelong at 9:26 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Obvious troll is too obvious. White people should get affirmative action to catch up to brown-skinned Indian Americans. -- Posted by jakelong 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...

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.)
