I remember a Thanksgiving dinner several years ago with my in-laws. A cousin of my step brother was a pretty successful guy in his late 20's and making some money. He was adament that his success was his alone, he earned it himself.

Then his much older uncle Paulie proceeded to rip him apart listing all the thnigs done by others so that he could be positioned to do as well as he's doing today.

It was pretty remarkable to watch.

Some wealth is certainly earned, but you can't use "earn" to replace "hold".

I wonder how many Indian americans are creeping into that category? I wonder why racism and white men keeping them down hasnt factored into the massive success of Indians in the US in recent years?

You're joking right?
