Very healthy representation in the highest levels of government and corporate leadership

Highest income level, even higher than Jewish and Chinese people

High levels of capital ownership

All stereotypes against Indian Americans are similar to the ones against white Americans, not really that bad (rich, smart, business savvy)

Less hate crimes than POC, probably less than Jewish people too

Racism against Indian Americans specifically is pretty low, lower than Jewish people. Obviously the attitude towards those from the motherland and commonwealth countries are a different matter

Identity very homogenized and white Americanized like Irish, Italians, Jewish people, east Asians to an extent

    Although whiteness has expanded over time, it’s been like 100 years since the last time someone was let in

    Weren’t Italians and Greeks not white until like the 90s when Muslims started being really feared and racism shifted away from those 2 groups long enough that they overtime just became white

    but still racism

    Jewish people have lots of racism along the same lines. Italians have racism, Greeks have racism

    outsourced work in India

    I mean it’s the same with other white people isn’t it. People hate the French more than French Americans. People hate Greeks more than Greco Americans

    it is still tied to skin color

    I feel like specifically in America whiteness has taken on a more xenophobic and national chauvinistic form, but I can totally see it still being too strongly tied to skin tone
