What’s your beef with the Patel’s? Go out and run a motel yourself if you are worked up about it.
Concur. I travel a lot and many of the second tier hotels are run by Indians. They have all been extremely friendly to me. Additionally, the father of a boy who played sports with my son is a Patel, who owns two hotels. He is extremely friendly, gracious and hard working. He is Hindu.
He did say it took him a very long time to stop thinking in terms of castes, but that America would give a penniless import (like himself) the opportunity to become successful and come into contact with many helpful Christians, made it impossible to continue to believe in castes.
I have worked for MANY Patels....from Conn. to Massachusetts...even Florida...no beef from me ...I was suggesting that there is a large possibilty it is owned by the Patel clan...very reasonable assumption.
