[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most south Asians send a lot of money back home and are some of the biggest donors for political candidates and other disaster relief efforts. I’m in the Pakistani American community in Nova and[b] I can tell you every wealthy Pakistani American is an active citizen and a major donor for various causes locally, nationally and internationally as well. A large percentage of the money is sent back home to help extended family members or community and other disaster relief efforts.[/b]

Yes, we like nice things and status and wealth but we also believe in giving back. [/quote]

Huh? Doesn't Pakistani-American mean born and raised in America but of Pakistani origin? Really EVERY one of those people with money is a MAJOR donor and sending money back home? I don't believe that at all. The elders who immigrated here - sure they probably are donating their money back home. But for those of us born and raised in the US, sure may we may send some charity back to our family's country, we are also committed to the causes that matter here - whether that's local food banks or Legal Aid or whatever. I for one refuse to send ALL my charitable contributions back to my parents' country, much to their chagrin.[/quote]
