That's debatable. I work in IT and we hire Indians more then anyone else because they have degrees or certifications. The problem is they got those certs and degrees from a Cracker Jack box because they have no clue what they are doing and are some of the biggest hacks in the place.
That may be your view, in the field of IT (are you talking about Indians in the USA?). In the broader view, I don't think this is true--when you consider them as a whole, as compared to the general population, they are very educated.

I really appreciate many things about the Indian immigrants and their American children, but this comment is straight-up fact.

He's talking about H1B contract IT workers, many of whom have no idea what they're doing.
Hispanic ain't a race. Please DON'T lump in Americans of "Mexican" and so on family with ILLEGAL aliens and their Anchor Babies tho Anchors are "US citizens".
Once we let in the bloody Irish it was all over, wasn't it...
Uh; us bloody Irish" paid with a LOT of blood before we got accepted. Tho a lot of the prejudice against us was our fault with our drinking, fighting and generally acting stupid. In 2013 most of us are "Lace Curtain Irish".
When I see the term "Indian" or "Indian American" I think of someone descended from people from India, not Native Americans.
Maybe we should call them Hindustani-Americans, 'Hindustan' being an older term for the Indian subcontinent.
American.
Here in Arizona the Apache, Navajo and so on call themselves "Indian" if not using the name of their tribe. Indians from India are usually called "East" Indian.
I find it ridiculous that you refer to other human beings as mutts.
I think most Americans are mutts and we're becoming muttier every day. I refer to America's first peoples as American Indian and folks from India as Indian American. That seems pretty straightforward.
Winning the spelling bee is certainly an achievement- but honestly, it's just about memorization. I don't really find it to be a test of intelligence, per se.
