[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 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.

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

Lol you personally know every wealthy Pakistani American and they all donate? Ok[/quote]

Actually yes, I’m in the Pakistani-American society in Nova. We are comprised of doctors, lawyers, business owners, real estate developers, tech executives and other entrepreneurs. We are a vibrant and social bunch. We love to throw fabulous parties and donate to good causes. [/quote]

Unless you are standing over their shoulders as they write checks or push submit on charity websites, you can't know for sure how much anyone is giving or not. And you can't be sure that it is ALL going back to the home country. There are definitely causes I support from my parents' home country (South Asia but not Pakistan), yet I'll support them to the order of $50, while giving $5000 to some other cause here in the US that matters more to me. All I'm saying is you can't know for sure.[/quote]

For the Pakistani charity circuit it’s usually a public auction dinner thing. People still give anonymously but generally speaking you just know. [/quote]
