[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Indian-American and in India, it’s unthinkable for a well-to-do high school or college student to be waiting tables or bagging groceries. Some of us who grew up in the US faced pushback from our parents for wanting to work at the mall during the summer. They felt we should be focused on academics and encouraged summer school. Fast forward z30-40 years and I’m all for having my kid wait tables or lifeguard or scoop ice cream because that offers a type of education that one can’t get in the classroom. [/quote] This has to do with caste system, under which waiting tables are jobs for Shudras. India immigrants are of higher classes, the idea of waiting tables and bagging groceries are unthinkable for their classes.[/quote]
