These are completely out of control. Indians coming over and buying up a bunch of businesses and commercial properties in these cartel type groups. Only hiring each other. Access to SBA loans and grants.

Why on earth do we need to import a bunch of people to buy up a bunch of land, property, and businesses? Why can’t white guys without college degrees run a gas station?

Why can't white guys without college degrees [fill in blank] is a major question, for sure.

It seems a large portion of them choose welfare and lower class life instead

Are they prohibited from buying and operating a gas station? Perhaps the white guys don’t want to work 20-hour days 7-days a week running a gas station in the ghetto.

I know white males who own gas station chains but you would never know it because they don’t actively run the locations.

We don't. Just buy up a bunch of land, property, and businesses yourself.

They can. Bootstraps, no Starbucks, etc, etc...

The OP clearly has zero clue how horrible it is to run a single convenience store. It’s a miserable existence. You have to actively run the store 24/7.

Or... they have less access to various forms of capital and programs that are widely available to "special groups".

I remember looking at what scholarships and grants for college my daughter could apply for a few years back... you'd be amazed at the amount of "affinity" helps for women, blacks, latina/os, etc..

The playing field is not at all level- this country has decided that white males don't deserve access to the same helpful programs and opportunities as are available to literally EVERY OTHER GROUP.

Exactly. Every Indian owned gas station I've been in with any regularity has a total staff headcount of anywhere from 2 to 4 depending on the size of the family and you see a familiar face when you go in whether it's 10:00 am, 9:00 pm, or 3:00 am.

As a white male, most of the white males I know have zero desire to be chained to a ghetto convenience store 24/7 for a very meager living. There’s a reason immigrants have dominated these jobs. With that said, I agree with the OP that we should not be giving visas to Indians so they can run gas stations but it’s absurd to act like these are highly desirable jobs.

I’d say it’s more of a caste system

A lot of these establishments are owned by white males, they just don't work behind the cashier.

Why don't we talk more about the Indian call center scammers preying on our elderly?

This sums it up well. Indians are willing to put up with the bullshite that comes with owning a ghetto convenience store, they have family to work it day and night, and they're rewarded for it. Then they parlay that into buying more gas stations, etc., etc.

The local gas where I live is Palestianian owned. I'm friends with one of the managers, we share the same taste in beer. One night some fool was pissing on a garbage can outside while his buddy was in the car, right at the gas pump.

Brought the family to SeaWorld last week in San Antonio. The amount of Indians there was absolutely crazy. I’ve heard and read on here about the Indian population in Texas. I believe it now. There were more Indians there than whites. And they had no consideration for people’s personal space. They would be all on top of you.

There are endless opportunities in the US. If you fail here its because of you. In fact, most successful people fail more than once before they succeed. You get out of life what you put into it.
For a white native born American to bitch about 1st generation immigrants being more successful than themselves, thats just pathetic. Do better.

The complaint is in regards to the amounts of loans and grants that are available to them solely based on what country they are coming here from.
Loans and grants that are not available to naturalized, American-born citizens.
Loans and grants that can sum up to enough cash to purchase hotels. Which, if you've ever seen what a hotel can sell for, you would understand why people are pissed about it.
