This is like comparing Nigerian-Americans, Ethiopian-Americans, Kenyan-Americans, etc., to black Americans as a whole.

Even comparing some Asian subsets against Asians as a whole would show a stark contrast.

Comparing small groups against large groups produces unreliable results.

They operate as an ethnic cartel which gave them a competitive advantage over Americans.


Is this not similar to what many immigrant groups such as the Irish and Italians did many years ago?

a lot of these ethnic groups go through graduate level degrees to hold the student visa as long as they can and to give employers better reason to sponsor a work visa since they would have these graduate degrees

such as engineering graduate programs, there are next to no americans in engineering graduate programs

how many are in the "household"?

Do extended families living under one roof contribute to this?

How is household (vs family) income determined?

Same goes for Indian families who own hotels or gas stations. They are only profitable in many cases because they work there 100+ hrs a week.


I became acquainted with an Indian immigrant in his late twenties who was running a gas station/convenience store in my very rural area. He said that his extended family owned more than a dozen of these types of businesses in the general region. He said that his goal was to retire at forty. He didn’t care about the number of hours he had to work or the difficulty of the work, he was doing it.

that’s easy to say but we don’t have the IQ for the most part… if we did we wouldn’t be baws

These people are legal immigrants who become American citizens and help make our country strong. Most intermarry with other races. They become one with us. The race thing needs to disappear. The origin of the country doesn't matter as long as they come here and become one with the greatest nation on the planet. Elon could be making the point that a persons race does not stop them from prospering here.

I read that somewhere around 10% of doctors working in the US are from India.

Where do Nigerian Americans fall?

The few I know are engineers or military officers.
