We integrate, work hard, love America, and value education above all else!

I also think the strong English-language culture distinguishes Indian Americans from other Asian immigrations. Just easier to integrate and be articulate

Agree. English language skills (due to India being once part of the former British empire) does impart an advantage.

And for Vivek, a born liar.

Vivek: “I didn’t grow up with money.”

His father was a patent attorney for GE and his mother was a geriatric psychiatrist. He attended a private high school.

He grew up UMC, so? This describes majority of DCUM offspring who only really get a leg up with education and not much else. Don't compare this with real wealth or generational wealth and connections that go beyond who you meet in HS.

I would if merit were real, but it isn't. Merit means everyone gets the same chance and opportunity to compete, which they don't. Merit means there is no more legacy or athletics special treatment. America thrives on special treatment and calls it merit.

In America, "having merit" and being a "self-made millionaire" means having a multi-million dollar real estate empire handed to you by your daddy - right Donald Trump?
In America, "having merit" means being "self made" thanks to the wealth of your daddy's emerald empire, buying companies started by visionaries and pretending to be the visionary, yourself - right, Elon Musk?

People need to try harder.

Ehhh that "American Dream" thing is an old trope that died in the 1980s. Today you can work your ass off and still never become a multimillionaire. Most of today's wealthy in America got that way because they started out rich, had the right connections, got "struck by lightning" level lucky and so on. Or you can exploit people, scam and grift your way into wealth, whether big pharma or other schemes - but actual self-made, honest wealth these days in America is damn rare and the "American Dream" thing has a lot of illusory elements to it. A lot of Indian immigrants to America are still figuring that out.

I think Indian immigrants have figured it out way better than most others. They are the most prosperous immigrant group probably in the history of the USA. They have literally proven you wrong, unless you think their success is related to luck only? Maybe there is initially some of it for the more recent waves that came specifically as educated workers for tech/IT with jobs in high paying industry and not having to start from unskilled labor jobs like the earlier waves or immigrants or without skills/education/English. But you cannot deny there is culture at play that prioritizes education, hard work, self-reliance, and competition.

Right and the Indians here are the ones who could afford the thousands of dollars needed to buy a plane ticket to the US. India is not sending us its poor, uneducated masses. Most coming here already have some level of education and money to afford coming to the US.

A bit of a misconception. They bring in relatives, a lot of whom will work in restaurants or have other low paying jobs.

Not a misconception. Even those who come without education/tech skills and jobs lined up have a certain ambition for themselves or their kids to succeed and will push towards industries that promise higher pay. I think it's the culture. Tell me I am wrong. There are few lucky ones to land the jobs in the right companies at the right time. Just like there are lucky people to own housing in the places that skyrocketed and saw obscene appreciation. Luck isn't related to any culture or ethnicity.

They're the most prosperous immigrant group because they're all voluntary immigrants with the financial means to emigrate and they come from a country that was colonized by English speakers. They weren't forced here because of war or famine, they chose to come here and by and large they were able to do so because they had money, education, and spoke English. very few other immigrant groups can say that and the ones that can are similarly prosperous.

I think you're underestimating him. He speaks to millions of people with his messaging about exceptionalism and merit. I don't think he'll be the nominee because he's unknown, but I will absolutely be rooting for him.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-im-running-for-president-c4a8ea7?mod=opinion_lead_pos7

And I guess anyone who isn't as successful as him is a lazy slacker POS

Successful at self-promotion. He made his money pumping and dumping Roivant (that never accomplished anything) and leaving the likes of CALPERS holding the bag.

Ramaswarmy is a disgrace. Referring to climate change as a hoax while half the planet is burning and the oceans and atmosphere have hit record high temperatures resulting in extreme weather.

He may be the youngest candidate but he won’t appeal to the youngest or sanest voters …

I grew up UMC and would never say “I didn’t grow up with money.” That’s just a lie.

Amazing that with all the brilliant Indian-Americans we have, we ended up with this line up.
The pump and dump bro who's a Martin Shkreli fanboy, the accountant who's only worked for her parents' clothing business, and a former district attorney (at least that's something).
