For being LESS THAN 1 PERCENT of the population, I think Indians have done something right or Indian parents have raised their kids right. So why does everyone want to ignore our accomplishments and cast us into the shadows?
The bigger question is why do you give a damn what other people think about Indian Americans?

Just continue to be successful and enjoy life.

There are at least 100 different active threads, do you ALWAYS find ways to sneak in to one of mines? Do I appeal to you that much!? You are just a tick lady!

Anyways to the female Indian user: I remember in middle school I had beatings for making an 89 but then in high school my parents eased off. Wish they hadn't, instead of a 4.0 I had a 3.5 GPA. I could have been at Harvard right now...

LMAO, sorry but I can relate on so many levels. That's funny as hell.

4 Indians were killed in an LA restaurant. In police statistics their race was said to be white. Other Asians are labeled as Asian.

You appeal to my sense of the ridiculous.
Anyway, I have had several Indian design clients in Florida.
There is a large community, most are highly successful, and eager to assimilate and make a difference in the community.
They are highly respected in the community, and oddly enough, and dont seem to be sitting around whining that they are discriminated against.
But then again, these are adults I am speaking of, not whiny teenagers.
