Ethnic Geography is life

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@harryjfranz Well they need to ban together and gain representation, because people need to understand that they cannot mistreat an entire ethnic group because of the actions of a few individuals #ch16swasia

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@CaitlinKruege10 @MattBougie1 Yes despite their high education, they are being pushed towards more industrial jobs that are dangerous and low pay #ch16swasia

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@persianofntrest @MattBougie1 I also found a similar article - disappointing to say the least

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@FrischJoelynn @MattBougie1 Yes and many immigrants were scapegoats for the problems - now these immigrants come as a family to avoid hatred and scrutiny #ch16swasia

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@SuzyBogue A1: Lebanese civil war and Iranian Revolution also encouraged these people to flee #ch16swasia

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@SuzyBogue Lebanese and Syrians among first immigrants – primarily in search of work, but religious freedom could have played a factor #ch16swasia

Cannot wait for keegs THE hut Milly to lead us #ch15msea

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@persianofntrest @GabeDewar We need to be more understanding and compassionate towards immigrants. They are just trying to make sense of the world like we are #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

Book mentioned how much they invest in their children. Match making is prominent back home in India, is it still a concern for Indian parents in the US as well? #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@persianofntrest @GabeDewar So these people are deciding if they want to remain with their home culture or they may be open to a different way of living. Lot of factors involved #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@BenBosetski @BuesHannah Most definitely! unlike other ethnic groups who tend to settle close to their ethnicity, Asian Indians typically settle where demand for their skills are #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@AirdBrendan @maryc_snc I found an article which talks about the income dispersion between Asian immigrant groups and why Indians are at the top

@burkart_andrew @abi_fredrich @CrotteauThe Ya after watching that Ted talk I can't believe how hard people are on immigrants, when this country was build largely upon immigration - too much focus on the bad and not on the good these people can bring #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@CrotteauThe Family is very important to them and they try to support their family abroad and in the US as much as they can #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@persianofntrest @kali_2222 @maryc_snc Pretty sure Gandi was very tech savvy #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@maryc_snc Rise of high tech industries have increased demand for high skilled laborers, creative and risk taking entrepreneurs, and capital rich investors - which India has #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@maryc_snc mainly because of family and occupation based 1965 US immigration legislation #indiapatel

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@harryjfranz @persianofntrest @LexiAnd93542587 @kali_2222 Yes! typically if Koreans reside in areas with less Korean Americans, they speak English very well. Moving to Korean dense areas make transition much easier #gotseoul

[Kurt @Kurt03478183]

@BenBosetski Thanks for bringing this up. 26% of Korean Americans are self-employed – double the rate of other Asian groups.
Why is self employment and entrepreneurship more prominent to Koreans, as opposed to other Asians #gotseoul
