Interesting Income Results / myLot

I took a poll on a survey site that wanted to know what we thought the results would be based on the last U.S. census. I’m not going to say the name of the site in case it’s against the rules. Sure, it’s my source, but you also earn rewards for doing surveys, and we aren’t supposed to name survey sites. So remember, this is simply based on the last U.S. Census. And a LOT of people ignore requests to take it, so do what you will with the results. Anyway, it asked me to guess which group of citizens earned more money: Indians (India, Indians), Whites, Blacks, Asians (of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean descent), and Hispanics. The results were Indians, Asians, Whites, Hispanics, and Blacks. Does that surprise you? I had guessed Asian citizens were number one, and Indian citizens were number two.

No, it's not a surprise to me. Both Indians and Asians are technically skilled and should be drawing high incomes.

I have more Indian doctors than I do any other ethnicity.

@AmbiePam I have one Indian doctor and I can't always understand him. Pretty explains what he says later.

@DaddyEvil Yeah, unfortunately, I’ve had trouble with that too, on occasion. But then, I have one Indian doctor who might have just grown up here because he has no accent. And that guy is hilarious. He quotes Elvis lyrics and always wants to talk about sports. I think he even called me “dude” once! I love him.

I believe it. I remember in the late 1960's my aunt, who taught at a private boarding high school, claimed that the Asian students' math skills were far superior to those of the rest of us.

At my first elementary school I attended, the children from Indian parents were the second highest attendees. Even as a child, I noticed how every single Indian child studied more than anyone else. Their parents pushed them, and for the most part, they responded well.

@AmbiePam I do not know about in your country, but here the respect for the elder generation has changed, maybe not for elementary school students, but beyond that they have.
