So a car with two Indian teens, one female and one male, was parked down the street, and they discarded an empty fountain drink cup onto the road. I thought maybe they would have the decency to reconsider and to pick it up since they were parked there for a short time, but when I came back to that area later, the cup was still there. Regardless of whether this sort of association is premature, littering does not leave a witness a good impression of your ethnic group.

This is politically incorrect to say, but I cannot really find a good reason why Indians are here.
The Native American Indians were here and then the English came, so they both clearly belong. Africans were brought here against their will, so they belong. Chicanos had their land usurped, so they belong. Chinese were brought to build railroads, so they belong. The Vietnam War seems to give the right for Vietnamese to settle here.
But India and America have no connection whatsoever. That's not a knock against India, but doesn't England owe them a place? And it seems almost criminal that we take in their best and brightest.
Well, the same might be sad about subsequent waves of Chinese immigrants in the 20th century. Some Chinese women might be allowed to immigrate for humane reasons, as Chinese men were not permitted to marry whites.
If confronted with steep, irreversible economic decline, how many of the Chinese and Indians here would be willing to move to a small town that is predominantly white. Would they chose to return to their mother countries instead?
