1. They get the same stories/lies from the VERY American media where everyone else gets their news. They are no more gullible then the rest of the America population.
2. 1st generation were NEVER “schooled” in traditional American values and history. They “schooled” themselves if at all. And very often they are better informed then American kids who ARE schooled in American history and values.
3. There is no way you know what kind of “deprivation” they faced in their country. Most Indians coming to US come from Indian middle class family. They aren't absolutely “deprived” but the same time they aren't smothered and spoiled by all the luxury either. They value whatever little they get and learn to work hard for it unlike a lot of Americans. More American live off freebies (then Indians) and still complain about everything.
Well, I do know what I am talking about, as my wife is 1st gen Asian Indian, and I have been to India multiple times, where my I laws live.
