Considering they spoke NO English....no I never knew exactly where they were from. Try getting a city to enforce codes. I turned them in numerous times.

Considering they spoke NO English....no I never knew exactly where they were from. Most certainly Paki or other non Indians. Around 50% Indians, speak English, even in India. (Estimate provided by an office mate who is an immigrant from India, albeit several decades ago) It's uniquely accented English, but it is English. India was after all a British colony even longer than the original 13 colonies were. Of course Pakistan was part of India then, but they have different educational standards. The folks could be from Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan, as well. They tend to be even lower educated and lower income than those from the former "West Pakistan". It's even possible they are second stage immigrants, say from some south American country, but of Indian or Pakistani heritage. I ran into a guy at the transmission shop (He was the owner or at least manager) like that.

well then, you were mighty quick to label them Indians, weren't you? For all you know they could have been Caribbeans, South Americans, light-skinned africans, Arabs, southern Mediterraneans, Albanians, Persians, South Asians, South East Asians or someone with a tan -- seems like classifying everyone with a brown skin as "the other"
