I know lots of 1st gen Asian Indians who are by and large ambitious, not necessarily smart ( but some are) and I have observed the following:

1. They are gullible and naive and they fall for the MSM lies quite frequently. If they see something in the newspaper, on TV, or in the theater, they believe it. For example, show them a Michael Moore movie, and they lap up every minute of it.

2. The 1st gens also are very poorly schooled in traditonal Amercan values and history. The test legal immigrants take to become a citizen is abysmal and laughable, as you might expect.

3. They come from a country of some deprivation and view life as a zero-sum game. They like the free stuff.

3.

I am an Indian American and I have to say your observations are very incorrect.

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.

“I know lots of 1st gen Asian Indians who are by and large ambitious, not necessarily smart ( but some are) ”

Have you noticed that about half the freepers on this thread cant tell what kind of “Indians” we are talking about? Thats about as high as American bar on intelligence can get.

Have you noticed that about half the freepers on this thread cant tell what kind of “Indians” we are talking about? For most people you have to break it down in terms of "Dot or feather", "Casino or Computer", "Reservation or Slurpee". Thats about as high as American bar on intelligence can get.
