[QUOTE="911, post: 1102669, member: 11221"] 1-China is going to be the largest Christian country in the world. 2-The two countries will keep each other honest. China beat up on India back when Mao encroached into the Himalayas for a land grab in the 60s, some bad blood there, or at least some mistrust. Over here, only rich hippies can afford building houses made out of mud and straw. Yeah Walter I think culture is the main driver for success among immigrants. The Patels haven't cornered the motel market in America by being brainiacs, (1) they have strong family bonds and (2) they hustle. Just like immigrants from many other parts of Asia. they come from a hungry and overcrowded culture and are more driven than the satiated locals. The communities that do best are those that come from a traditionally mercantile culture: Jews, overseas Chinese, Lebanese, etc., and/or those that push their children the hardest (tiger moms and paddle dads). It's more about culture than sheer individual IQ. [/QUOTE]
