I would assume the reason this is getting so many upvotes/retweets is this is actually quite surprising to most people, who would still initially consider Indians of lower "social status" at first sight.
Or maybe that's just a UK thing?
- meric 11y agoWealth != social status. E.g Garbage collectors have triple the median wage but to many they have low social status.
- Brakenshire 11y agoIndians in the UK are similar - tend to be high achievers, middle-class, model minority etc. In fact, perhaps even more so, because a big proportion of the British Indian population were the professional class ejected from East Africa by people like Idi Amin.
