It's asinine to single out the "upper castes" as good human capital.

It's asinine to single out the "upper castes" as good human capital.

Indian Americans have far and away the highest median household income of any ethnic group in the US (and it’s close to 2x that of white Americans). My understanding is that almost all Indian immigration to the US is from the upper castes.

Some of us I guess have to remind people that there isn’t a monopoly on migration.
