I could be mistaken, but i think that was the view for telemarketers. Before people looked at shit like how Indians owned some businesses and hired other family members to run it and became rich doing that. I think Null talked about it in one MATI, how they would buy cheap motels and fire every american working there and basically just hire their own family members and pay everyone under the table, then they would make a fuck ton of money, buy another motel and put one of their cousins to manage it and repeat the cycle.
But yeah, even then boomers would be mad when they were talking to an indian guy on the phone and he had to lie and say "Hello saar, my name is John", then they would be like: "NO, YOUR NAME IS NOT JOHN, STOP LYING TO ME VIKRAM".
If you look at the average income for Indian-American households, it’s still higher than almost every other ethnic minority in the US, which is why I find it even funnier when someone like Kash Patel gets called a Poojeet. lmao
