Thanks for the information aboout otters. Although if otters can write code, it seems pretty innovative to me, just saying. Also, not sure what "whet mar nations" are? Nation of innovative spellers? If you are going to insult, at least do it well. |

I know. I'm not talking about Indians in India dude. Don't really care where India ranks on that metric. This thread is not about them. Next time you crack open your laptop and search for something remember that both the PC and google are led by Indians AND run by Indians at all levels. Even at Apple, the second and third layer and below is chock full of them. What do you think they all do, write code all day? And only the Whites at Apple "innovate"?

+1. Absolutely! This thread was started by a curious South Asian hoping to find comparables but got polluted by some racist questioning them, their values and how they spend their money. The only want to deal with them is to give it back in kind. No offense meant to good people like you. |
I know a lot of brilliant Indian inventors, but the corpo suits aren't the innovators. The innovators are the engineers. |
Why didn't Indians save the expensive plane tickets, and stay and build Google in India? They speak English so it shouldn't be too hard to hire some Americans to do sales and get rich USA users and advertisers. It seems there is some ingredient missing in India, and India'd economic development required grafting ideas from USA. |
No OP, you do not +1 The point is that you and other like you in this thread (yes you as a group of posters not all Indians) are coming across as -greedy -prideful -selfish -delusional You and the other posters like you are not the greatest. You just are not. You are not special. You are just human. It isn't racist to point this out. Pointing out character flaws isn't racist Instead of being these things, be more like Ms. Callen |
I'm not the OP. The sentence that starts with "This thread was started by a ..." should have made that obvious. Maybe you should practice reading comprehension so you too can be successful in life instead of practicing racism against group of people that are successful.

Why did your ancestors come here instead of putting up with the shitheads that were screwing them in the old country? People go where they can. Shouldn't take a genius to figure that out. India did not have the infrastructure that already existed in the US. Most of us came here because colleges here gave us money to come and study. So we came. Once we completed that, employers wanted us to stay here. So we stayed. But things have changed a lot there now. There's a healthy innovation infrastructure there now. Certainly not as big as the US but growing. BTW, ideas are cheap. Every fool has one. The environment, resources and infrastructure are more important. |
I agree, I'm 2nd gen Pakistani and still support my grandparents' old servants & pay for their kids school fees, health costs etc but the largest part of my charitable giving is here and the money spent in Pk is also money that is earned from property that I inherited there , I don't take $$ from here to give away there. I certainly DONT support politics in PK but I'm not sunni muslim. I find it tragic that Pakistanis are so hellbent on working so hard to help former British colonies flourish but won't work that hard to build up their own country and I think that guilt plays a large part- also many Pakistanis who came in the 70's are from the land owning class and we have large families of the poor who we are responsible for. unless they are Mahajar who left their land in east PK or North India like one side of my family did. We did turn our land in India into a trust that our Indian family manages and uses to support the poor in my family's old village in India. I also give money to help people get out of Pakistan and settle in the EU, Canada etc b/c the current state of PK is not livable except for the wealthy and its due to mismanagement, not actual poverty of resources and I do have a sense of guilt that I live so freely while they live in fear of their lives. |
+1. My Indian friend told me that her husband wanted her to drive a Tesla. I found that kind of interesting, as my husband does not really express an opinion on what car I drive (and he's also a WASP type whose parents felt it was tacky to drive anything other than a 10-year-old Volvo, even if you could "afford" a much nicer car). |
Oh you mean a white guy who inherited wealth earned through racism as well as an old boys’ club network so he barely has to lift a finger to earn more money? How wonderful compared to your friend’s “tacky” DH. |
| FINALLY, the word tacky appears on this thread! |
Awww! We come here, because we can. We can, because we are good in Math and STEM and America invites us here. We are good in Math and STEM, because of our genes and close knit family. We have good genes and close knit family, because... Mere Pass Maa Hai!
