I know there are lots of Indians here and that is why so many motels post "American Owned" signs. I know that both Hindu, Christian Indian, and Moslem Indians can be good doctors. But unless I'm referred to one by someone I trust I ain't dragging my child into see one. I would rather go to a Jones than a Sankar all things being equal. Do you think that the ones named Mohammed are Hindu?

Most of the gas stations that put up the "American Owned" signs are run by Whites who think they are the only "rightful" Americans in this country.

"I would rather go to a Jones than a Sankar all things being equal."

Which is why I said you are a victim of stereotype. I would have no problem going to any of them but would prefer to go to the one I know or believe is better and that has nothing to so with the name or the ethnicity of the person. And I dont mind even if the name is Mohammad. I know many Muslim doctors who are far better then their White colleagues.

" Do you think that the ones named Mohammed are Hindu? "

In Alabama, wherever there is significant number of South Asians (Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile) Hindu doctors significantly outnumber Muslims. Just take a look at the campus of UAB and you will find more Hindus then American. Almost 90% of them are studying medicine.
