Very interesting article on why these Hindus are for Trump. But just as interesting is why they as a minority are doing so much better than other minorities. I've been posting for ages the importance of how culture and values shape a race or community and this article shows the consequences of good values in a minority culture.
Hindu-Americans have the highest per capita income of any group, and the highest education levels, and Minimum crime. One in seven Himdus are entrepreneurs.
As if everybody in that little group shares the exact same culture.
I personal know couple of hindus that are not doing so well. If you are doing great, good for you, but please, refrain from teaching other minorities why you are doing so much better than them.

Funny as hell
There will be poor and rich among all cultures. That does not discount the fact that some cultures produce more economic contributors than others.
The fact there are so many Jewish Nobel Prize winners is no mere coincidence.
Completely biased article. Indian-Americans or Hindus? All of the former are not part of the latter. All of the latter are not part of the former.
I find it interesting that the article had no problem acting as though there are no Christian or Muslim Indian-Americans that are helping those statistics, but yet nothing is attributed to them as Indian-Americans.
Hindus make up little over half of the Indian-American community. Around 20 percent are Christian, 10 percent Muslim and then Sikh and others.
So this article found it completely fine to ignore and the contributions of almost half of the Indian-American community and attribute it all to one religious group among them. It also ignores the fact that there Hindus that come from places other than India.
Lily, there are cultural differences between people. There are jobs dedicated to studying the differences. Cultural anthropologists is one such job.
Some cultures are very hard working, place much importance on education and good grades, for example.
That doesn't mean everyone in that culture does that, but that for the most part, those things are part of their value system.
There's a reason stereotypes exist - they often start out with some kernel of truth and get exaggerated after that.
