Not exactly, but you are essentially dealing with a positively self-selected micro-group derived from a country that is largely a horrific shitshow.

Selection bias, the distance between here and there and the associated costs limits those that are able to come.

Truth is they are hard working, constantly looking for cheaper prices, and attempts to only do business with Indian owned companies (with each other) when possible.

Because they don't come over here to not work and live on welfare, unlike a lot of worthless Americans.

I can't speak for all, but the Indians I have worked with were westernized through colonization with the brits.

they aren't afraid to pile up in one place. all work their asses off, pile up a ton of cash, and then take a loan out on a hotel. they work as a unit, regardless of the venture.

Will cater to a "hood" neighborhood by selling crack pipes, porn, bootlegged items, etc. in said store because they believe their good deeds can make up for the bad ones. At least that's how one of them explained it to me.

Never confuse an Indian with a Pakistani. They hate each other and will one day use nuclear weapons against each other.

I would say hard work. The two ethnic groups of fellow physicians that I know that are the hardest workers are Indians and Greeks. I've seen those two groups work just insane hours - and they demand that their kids do the same in school
I think that all the hard working Greeks came here and that is why their old country is full of whiners.

All of our IT consultants are Indian. We fired our IT department and handed it off to IBM (India). They may be great at programming and probably get paid a lot, but the guys I deal with are impossible to understand. I am on the steering committee of a $100M IT project and deal with this daily. The communication problem makes progress difficult. Huge company.

Yes, they are all sacred of their dads. I met my best friend ever in the 5th grade. He was born in Madras and moved here with his parents in 1975 when he was five. Victors dad was the most authoritarian dad I have ever known and he could unleash the wrath of hell when upset and he was a Baptist Pastor. He converted to Christianity in India and met Vic's mom who was of a very high caste system. Her family disowned her due to their getting married.

Mr Kumar is one of the best men I have ever known but man could he get set off with a quickness. He had me scared at times when he was chastising Vic or his sisters. We lost Vic about 8 years ago to cardiac arrest when we were both 38 but I still visit his parents a few times a year. He has mellowed a great deal with age but when he was in his 40s his switch could flip with a quickness.
