"Most successful ethnic community" In the US? True But why weren't/arent they successful back home?
Its a numbers game i think. Back in india we have to compete with 1.3 billion people, and here just some 350 mil odd. So higher chances, and we work harder than locals. I dont think this is the place to discuss this though.. this is tragic.
It’s still disproportionately higher , 350 million is not a small number, that too with less than 1-2% of the population
Wow
I’d say the picture represents stereotypes of Indian pretty well
"America’s most successful ethnic community has a little-discussed problem: its members typically can’t cope with failure." Parents, tell your children that failure is OK, no need to kill yourself or your family.
This is how you fail as an ethnicity. We should tell kids the opposite, like the Japanese.
@AMD - Japanese work culture is brutal and toxic. So many people don't even start a family due to it and so many suicides in Japan due to the toxic work culture. No thanks!
If you fail, even your own parents would beat you n disown you. We have learned so much of toxicity since childhood. Teaches n parents only praise when you are successful. The students who are in bottom 5 are insulted constantly, n infact they are almost treated like 3-class citizen. But, If you are successful, we say parents beating n their poverty (bcs of their failures) was inspiration. (Bullshit) Once you are an adult, all you do is try to fit in the society n fit in formula of: good job, nice car, nice home, pretty wife, 1-2 kids, forget divorce, nothing bad about family should come out . Forget failures, there is no chance for you to not follow the formula, if you do not just society, even your own mother will not spare you.. she will do mental torture every day.. your wife won't spare you.. father won't even talk to you, Indian neighbors n relatives will ask n taunt you constantly.. Infact even your close ones would wish you rather die than do anything apart from set of things society defined for you.. ( even parents love the one who could be their retirement plan.. ) The only way to live Peacefully is to either be successful or at least fake success, if not you need to bring others down, so as to look successful. N if you ask the truth, even the parents n siblings of the family in the news, they won't be sad that they lost the son or granddaughter, but they would be worried that the way they died, what will society say, n now that their son(retirement plan) died who will take care of them..
I guess, it boils down to the situation that most gen X, millennial desis (those born in 70s to 90s) grew up. Life for majority of Indians was middle or lower middle class with just basic necessities like food and shelter available. Anything above that was reserved for may be less than 0.1% of the population. Heck, even basic needs were scarce for hundreds of millions of Indians. The only way out for these people was to succeed at academics and find a well paying job somewhere. Indian economy wasn't doing so well then and entrepreneurship was reserved to only a handful of Indians. Indian families were so pressured by this that failure was not an option as families major expense was education (Good school fees supplemented by private tuitions that also cost a lot). All these factors contributed to the pressure of succeeding in academics and jobs and get that home, wife, car, holidays fat bank balance which was a distant dream for middle class Indians. If you have never lived in a middle or lower middle class Indian family, you will never realize it!
We need to stop singing parents had it rough.. most of them had easy job without any compitation, still in their free time they just gossiped n waited till the kids get report cards. If they were so poor then even their kid getting basic salary should be sufficient, but that's not the case, they want to get satisfaction of success but since they never worked hard for it, kids became space goats, n if you are successful you are their source of luxury retirement, where they meet all relatives, show off money n boost how good their kid is doing. I write n understand things because I came from one n a victim. I saw such murder n suicides happening around me, n parents of the wards were more worried about what ppl will say n tried to hide suicide note from police My parents n my in-laws, my relatives, n parents in my colony, or parents in my mom's office or Dad's office, everyone is same: greedy, gossipers, lazy, scrapegosting kids..
Indian spouses bring nothing to the table and demand $xxM mansions in the USA
Another one ?
Crazy
Dave Ramsey who advises against debt would orgasm on this sentence, "He had bought the house in 2019 for $4 million, putting down only 5%, borrowing the rest from the developer, with the condition that he would pay off the entire loan in two years. He defaulted."
Ramsey should just stick to making Zee Horror Show

“America’s most successful ethnic community” jeez even during situations like these people have to bring that up? How about what happened was a horrible tragedy but it has nothing to do with race?
The article is implying that it’s happening specifically to this group of people
