E Pluribus Unum

The US welcomes those legal immigrants who want to come and be part of this country.

You have a point there Aliandra, on a recent trip to New york, I noticed that many, if not most of the cab drivers were indians, waiters too!!

I have to applaud indians for that, they have managed to get into every single community on the face of this earth. When their “FOB” (Fresh of the Boat) they start of with the lesser jobs in society, but by the 2nd or 3rd generation, they’re all top shots and tycoons of some sort.

No wonder, some are speculating that india could be the next world power. They’ve managed to get a strong grasp on all nations. Maybe the US should think twice about befriending them!!

Alfie;

In US indians, are doctors, space scientists, venture capitalists, engineers, computer techies

They are also represented among grocery store owners, cab drivers, store clerks, and gas station attendants. A very diverse cross section.

The Arab states should think of bringing more indian “doctors, space scientists, venture capitalists, engineers, computer techies ” instead of the 3rd class “builders, tailors, maids, accountants and auditors” )

We can then start a new race of “Arab Indians” that can be paid better by our economies and leave the measly jobs for the arabs!!! Hallalujeh!

Maybe my Brain Fart is a bit too smelly!

Alfie,

alfalfa’s clubbing of indians as ‘car-washers’ is an attitude that is all too common in the middle-east,ie, to look down upon all indians as nothing more than maids, drivers and ‘car-washers’.

I second that, Alfie. It is sad, but very very true. This attitude definately needs to change. There is no excuse for making cultural/racially insensitive remarks like that. Unfortunately, it is all too common with the Gulf Arabs in regards to their Indian neighbours. (Also the root of alot of problems they have with Philipina maids and nannies).

After experiencing the way I was treated in US and comparing with the gulf states, I can tell you the Gulf Arab states should be clearly labelled as “racist”. In US indians, are doctors, space scientists, venture capitalists, engineers, computer techies. They have the higest income levels and best education record among all the ethnic group including whites. If you want another proof of the rising influence of Indian americans, you need not look any further than the recent passing of US-India nuclear treaty in the congress by a margin of 311-112.

Its time that you wake up and see what Indians have achieved in India and the rest of the world.

Unfair indeed! I would have thought Hisballah’s unconditional surrender would be the fair way to end this.

I very much doubt that you’ll persuade India or indeed most non-Muslim countries to boycott Israel. For one thing, after the recent terrorist attacks on Mumbai you’ll find that most public opinion in India is now very supportive of India. For another, India is a massive country that is rapidly becoming a major global economic power; pressure from a tiny country like Bahrain is of little consequence to it if there are no significant additional incentives. Ditto the EU will never boycott Israel because Germany, still riven with guilt over the Holocaust, will never take a stance antagonistic to Jews and will use its substantial influence to prevent the EU adopting such a stance. Britain also would not boycott Israel. And neither, of course, will the USA.

The problems in the ME will either be resolved diplomatically or through the escalation of conflict into a decisive war. There’s no “third alternative” here, least of all economic bullying.
