They also work very hard.
They are, however, menaces behind the wheel of an automobile.
Therefore, the population of Hindu-Americans are descendant from mainly well-educated immigrants, and of course will be higher earners.
Compare the entire population of Hindus in India to the entire population of Christians in America, and you will have a more reasonable comparison. Or compare only college-educated Christian Americans to Hindu-Americans.
I can tell you from personal experience that they think exactly like Obama. They see all the military activities of the United States post WWII as imperialistic. It doesn’t help that we fund Pakistan either. From watching their news, it seems their government is more corrupt than ours
“I never see a story where Crackers rank highest in anything accept racism.”
Understand that for every Hindu you meet in the US, there are 100,000 sleeping in their feces in India. As with other immigrant groups (including my own), we are importing the top of the heap.
“It appears American business and/or our government are intentionally trying to dominate the field with these people and to heck with locals.”
Absolutely; when a company sponsors an imported Asian coolie (from India, Red China, wherever), they can make them work all kinds of hours that no American would tolerate for those wages (and the coolie only tolerates until his indentured servitude is over - at which point the companies simply import more). Gill Gates, while questioning from one side of his mouth why American kids don’t go to school for computers anymore, fights with our government (under the threat of moving to Vancouver or India itself) to allow him to keep bringing more in (therefore driving down the salaries of the Americans left in the field even further).
Brings whole new meaning to DWI.

There are a number of immigrants that we are importing, umm, not from the top of the heap. (Hint: their government is giving them directions on how to leave their home countries and sneak in here.)
Where I work as a minority white person, those that can vote, voted for Obama. Those that can’t vote, wish they could and they also favor Obama. They listen to the MSM and believe what they hear. Though at home they would still enjoy their caste system.
Amazing what hard work and strong family ties will do for ya’....
Make no mistake, we have quite a lot of Pakistani’s here on H1B as well and they are muslims. In the workforce at least on the surface they get along well with their Indian counterparts however, just like at home the Indians have their own caste system here in the workforce. Those in managment promote from ‘within’ their group.
They (both Indians and Pakistanis) believe the white person is inept and all they need from us is to learn english and understand the American ‘system’.
They may be ‘highly educated’ but usually to one field, coders code and can do nothing else for example. When they do need help they have a network of fellow Indians to assist them, many of them are employed through an Indian recruiting company and they are constantly on the phone having someone help them ‘walk-thru’ whatever task they need to accomplish that wasn’t included in their ‘higher’ education.
“There are a number of immigrants that we are importing, umm, not from the top of the heap.”
Absolutely; while the Asians are to replace our “Anglo” middle and upper classes, the Latinos are to replace our lower class. I guess the sentiment is that they will contribute more, and the racial grudge is removed (though it is simply replaced by a different one in some cases).
“Hindu” American?
Now we are hyphenating based on religion?
Indians here are usually high caste and dreadful snobs and climbers in the worst British kind of way. They should be natural republicans but if they get the idea that being liberal will advance them socially we’ve lost them.
In my job I deal with a lot of Indian’s. Hate to say but a lot of them I deal with, they are kind of condescending and rude. If I had it my way, I would cut off the H1-B program and encourage jobs to come back to the states and that would start with lifting regulatory burden off of hiring.
We have one Indian, Raja, here in the Pittsburgh area who ran as a Republican, first for the Allegheny County Council and then as State Senator. He lost though, let’s face it, we are RAT county. He own a computer business and I don’t know if he is Hindu or not.

Quick!!! Demonize them, the new HinJews!!!
I agree it’s silly, but nonetheless the perception exists. I’m somewhat mystified by it, it makes no sense, but it’s there.
