> What does it matter how much money was in your pockets. Does it not matter? Can we step back and think this through? The op is most likely comparing himself to all the better placed individuals compared to him. Do people in America always think about third world countries and feel humble, modest and welcoming? Everyone's got their own struggles. > You had the momentum generations of high caste privilege and high caste education focused culture in India that let you achieve that Surely, you don't feel humble because centuries of evolution put humans at a disproportionate level compared to others. The op may have got an advantage because of cultural and historical reasons, but is that a conscious decision on his part? I don't think people voluntarily supress lower castes on a day to day basis. 90% of high caste folks might have started the migration to US, but it's just been a couple of decades. I also don't understand this dichotomy. If higher caste people are affluent and influential in Indian society, what could be the reason for them to move out and make bread in a different country? Judging from op's hundreds of dollars, they were definitely not affluent. If you are not affluent, you can't be influential. If you are not influential, you have hustle your way through everything, literally everything. I think this comment is harsh on the OP.
