[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are so disgusting. DH and I are researchers at NIH and both have our PHDs. The only reason our kids have passports is because we send them back to India for the summer to stay with family because we cannot afford camps and round the clock summer care for them. No, it is not "standard" that kids hike the Inca trail. Most American kids haven't even been to Canada, Mexico, or even on a domestic flight. It is not standard that a kid have a fully funded 529.

I see sick kids day in and day out  and these kids by the grace of generosity get to stay for free at the children's Inn, these are "normal" families who don't have the money for weeks at a motel, let alone the Inca Trail.

You need to travel to my home country, India and wake the f%ck up. Yes, even my kids, with a woefully funded 529, family trips to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the luxury of clean water, medical care and a safe home are haves.

Americans sometimes really disgust me with their ignorance.[/quote]

From one Indian-American to another, you are being purposely obtuse when you go all SJW on “ignorant” Americans while ignoring the EXTREME income and class inequality in India. Yeah there’s poor people who live in slums but there’s also a huge middle class and ultra rich class that have everything and much more than you. They don’t even treat the poor like humans, let alone sympathize and contemplate what it’s like to be a “have not.” There’s a lot of striving and loss of perspective around the world, not just in America.[/quote]
