Dex Morgan, you are at best ignorant and ill-informed. At worst you are probably xenophobic.

Today's immigrants are assimilating equally as fast as previous immigrants. Here is research backing that up - LINK

I am an Indian and I have been living in USA for 19 years and 10 months. By and large I do not hear Indians in USA complaining about white people. I do not know where you are getting that idea from.

Indians come to USA for the same reason as Italians, Irish, Scotch, and German immigrants did decades and centuries ago. For better economic opportunities and better futures for them and their families.

It is true sometimes Indians smell. That is not due to lack of hygiene or deodorant use. It is because the spices used in Indian cooking. Ventilation unit in American kitchens, especially rental units, is not equipped to properly ventilate all the fumes and spices that Indian cooking generates. Those get into the clothes, even clean ones in the closet. That's what you're probably spelling. I myself don't like that smell either.

I was in Rosemary Beach last week and my neighbors were an Indian man and his family. His MIL was visiting from Delhi. I never noticed a smell except for when they were cooking. They’d come over at night for drinks and the smell definitely lingered. I’ll agree with you tentatively that that’s the cause of the strange odor and not necessarily poor hygiene.

He and his wife both backed into a basketball goal in the driveway of the home they were renting. So the shitty driving stereotype stands

Indians shouldn't be calling people racist. It's a low brow toss in any discussion.

No doubt there are Indians that have a chip on their shoulder from the British Imperialism days. The everyday dot Indian would go along with the race baiting types. Like moslims that have people that want to take over these Christian lands, and they will stay quiet as they are fine with either way.

What I have a major issue with is immigrant groups and people that act like immigrants to this country the last 30-40 yrs have it tough. I would say the last bad era for immigrants was the 70s, maybe some into the 80s, as the '24 immigration law was just overturned in '65, and systems weren't acclimated yet. I just stare at people who bitch about it today and just tell them they need to be grateful for how easy they have had it and how it's been handed to them. But hey to them people who's family's go back to arriving here on wooden boats, and fought/died for the nation on this soil should be thanking them and washing their feet. The ungratefulness pisses me off. Not saying people should be treated like they are beneath anyone else, but pushing some customs that are counter to the foundation of what people fought/died for 100s of yrs ago, for their own is unacceptable to me at this point. I'm tired of freedoms this nation was built on being used against the nation to destroy it.

We need to shut down all kinds of immigration soon, and these Bidens years have forced me to that level of thinking. And yes it's American to do something to force assimilation as we did it 100yrs ago, as that era was seeing the same we are now.
