Like it or not, cultural heritage does make a big difference in your chances of success in life.

12 percent of all American scientists are of Indian
origin; 38 percent of doctors in America are Indian; 36 percent of NASA scientists are Indians; 34 percent of Microsoft employees are Indians; and 28 percent of IBM employees are Indians. Culture based success? Damn right.

Those numbers sound skewed. I sincerely doubt 38% of doctors in the U.S. are of Indian descent. I doubt all the other numbers. What is your source?

Sortof. Most of those you cite are probably not American born. IOW’s, they were recruited from overseas by companies OR emigrated here.

Where do you get that? I socialize sometimes with NASA people. There are Indian scientists but nowhere near 36%.
