I agree that the upward mobility of people from India and that part of the world is remarkable. Beleive it or not, there is a black middle and professional class, its just not represented very well in the Northeast - for all our supposed liberalism, we're very white up here.
You have to consider that the immigrants from India represent the most ambitious, courageous, and intelligent people from a society of over one billion with more English speakers than the US. They have made inroads in the Northeast largely because so many came here to study.
