I didn’t really mention any “inherent” qualities. Just pointed out facts that buttress an argument to increase immigration. The right wing loves to point out cultural discrepancies in minority populations they vilify but apparently pointing out effective culture is anathema.

I’m American. India is a country that has been growing at an average rate of 7% for more than two decades and has plenty of billion dollar unicorns and a strong culture of entrepreneurship. It’s the 3rd largest economy in the world by PPP, it just takes a couple of decades to recover from two centuries of outright looting.

It's not "effective culture". It's just wealth and everybody knows it. Indian-American migrants are almost all Brahmin elite who amassed their riches thanks to the deeply exploitative Indian caste system. There is absolutely nothing impressive about that. It's hideous.

Literally who cares? Why should any Indian or American worker give a single shit about this? Why would this make American workers want more Indian migrants moving to America? Because India's elite have a lot of money and oppressed masses? You have no point to make as far as I can tell.

> and has plenty of billion dollar unicorns and a strong culture of entrepreneurship

Again who cares? Not me.
