Yeah, how ‘bout that!
Such a heartwarming story.
Tech bros hate Americans.
Financed by American SBA loans.
Using loans from American taxpayers.
Break them up like Bell Telephone.
Great. Now do convenience stores.
I’ve known this for years. One of my clients when I owned my mortgage business was the #2 guy at Ritz Carleton. He used to talk about the Patels.
Biggest Indian chain migration racket in history.
Hilton and Marriot didn’t do it using taxpayer-funded racial programs.
Funny how they don’t mention that crucial piece of information.
And not just financed by SBA, but preferentially financed: South Asians are considered “disadvantaged” by default, and do not even need to claim said privilege on the 8(a) program...they just indicate their country of origin and Voila! they get the grease.
I’ve already posted the experience I had this morning with the dreadful Choice hotels (Quality Inn) Customer Service. All Indian.
And I’ve posted before about how the “mean girls contingent” at my niece’s high school are all Indian brats. They’ve managed to turn her to despise white folk. (Someone here informed me that Indians are considered to be Caucasian; they aren’t — unless you’re color blind.)
In the ‘90s, I took the opportunity to educate my boss’s condescending uppity interior decorator on the caste system in America, i.e., there isn’t one. Boss said she was from some high caste over there and expected everyone in her orbit here to bow down. She did come down off her high horse after that — at least around us in the office.
Indian hotels are the worst. They are not clean and the service is terrible.
Yep. In my community all the motels on the main drag, US 60, our owned by people named Patel. And they are Chisler’s beyond belief. They’re in a hospitality ndstry, but they are inhospitable.
"Someone here informed me that Indians are considered to be Caucasian"
Patel means “innkeeper.” The British named them as they did not have last names. They, of course, were/are not all related.
Pate.s are nopt one organization. It is a surname bestowed by the British on innkeepers in India.
I moved to California in 1983, and worked with an engineer named Patel. I was told by another guy I worked with, who happened to be an Indian from Trinidad, although he did not have an Indian name, that the Patels owned all the hotels.
This is the first I’ve heard that they guy who started it all was from Trinidad, not India.
