Do you agree with my views on successful Indians, Chinese and Jewish people?

[jennifer_bloom]

That American South Asian Indians are successful because they are taught to prioritize their parents above themselves.

That Chinese people are successful because they are taught to prioritize their entire family and society above themselves.

That Jewish people are successful because they are taught to prioritize their religious rules above themselves and they are taught to respect others and to respect God.

The Christian bible says you become great by serving others, or by serving God, not by being served by others, or by God.

Without generalizing too much. My perception on your views lines up to a certain degree. Yes indians and chinese do have stronger family values compared to their western counterparts however, they have a strong connection to money. Its all about gaining financial wealth. The chinese people i worked with value money through hard work. They but their children in programs to build skills that will garner money and prestige. I worked with a lot more Indians and they follow the same concept but they like to exploit loop holes. Find the easiest path to money but they will also stick together depending on cast and background. All 3 groups have a tendency to have a business mind set. They have their religious and cultural beliefs but will but money over those values at times. But that is what i have noticed. Not always the case but times are shifting to put yourself over others

I would believe you're on the right track.

Nope. All of those countries have mass poverty and social problems. The reason we see so many successful chinese/Indian people in the west is we tend to only see those families that could afford to emigrate and set up businesses. The fact is the biggest predictor of success is coming from the right back ground and having the right connections.

Nope it’s because they represent billions of people india and china. Just like how you’ll see a lot of white people scattered all over. India and China are set to beat the US economy in the next 50 years or less probably.

@purplepoppy there’s only 10% of Indians in mass poverty, a decade ago it was 30%, so it’s coming up leaps and bounds

I agree, you have a very good point.
