[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not Indian, I am Pakistani-American. I make around $400k. I work twice as hard as mg peers, and missed a lot of fun things in my twenties to get here. I would hope my kids have more fun and have a more chill life. It is fun now, however, to walk into the room and be the one in charge, so I guess it’s not all bad!

It’s hard because my fellow South Asians don’t support me because I’m Pakistani or a woman- not sure which. If they are Indian, unless they are a very nice women, they treat me not so great.  If they don’t know I’m pakistani they will go on rants against Pakistan. It sucks. [/quote]

Were your parents in Pakistan in the army, govt or in politics? [/quote]

No but extended family yes, yes and yes. [/quote]

Yup, so make sense that you have money, no? I mean there is a reason that Pakistanis in Pakistan are starving as all the money has been stolen by their leaders in army, govt and politics. And the money has been sent abroad along with all their family members. Now, Pakistan is a  failed and bankrupt nation.

It is a different story for Indians.  Indians have come here on their own academic merit and skills.  America needed them to work for them.  No one has given charity to Indians.  All the money has been earned by Indians on their own by doing hard work and being frugal, and their remittance back to India from around the world, means that India has foreign exchange of $120B in its coffers.

So many levels of stereotyping in this post. Thanks, Uncle, for your armchair nationalism.[/quote]
