Why Indians are the Richest Ethnic Group (in America)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
- I recently saw research that Indian Americans have the highest median household income in the US, and was a bit surprised. I decided to take a deep dive to learn why that was, objectively. This journey took me down a rabbit hole into US policy, historical data, and my own personal experience which opened my eyes to a new perspective. Please enjoy this docu-vlog of my experience :)

Hey all! I wanted to address something proactively as this is a sensitive topic. In creating this video, we tried extremely hard to avoid painting the picture that Indian Americans are the “model minority”.
The impetus for this idea was the fact that I came across that graph shown in the beginning and was genuinely curious of why this was, objectively? What events happened in history and policy that created such opportunities? What cultural elements were important to this whole concoction?
As you all watch, please understand that I am also learning about the sensitivity around topics like these but wanted to go forth with this idea given that it hits home, literally.
Tejas kudos to you for an excellent video. This will help a lot of 2nd/3rd generations of Indian Americans. Please do explore the values (9.00 mins and 14.00 mins) what makes the Indian American parents and Indian American CEOs that extra special. Almost all of these values are rooted in Sanatan Dharma. You may want to take this self exploration further and travel through India (or Bharat as we prefer calling it). Enjoy this journey of self discovery and if you ever wish to travel exploring India, feel free to give me a shout. Long live America and Jai Bharat.
ok cool 👍
If any Whites made videos about how superior they are you all would be moaning about it.
The double standards to be the ended by brutal force.
Indians spend less
Southern Indians are the most successful
Thermos with Daal was a universal discomfort for a lot of Indian American kids. I also resented my background being the only Indian kid at my elementary school. But now, I’m so incredibly proud of my culture and I share my moms daal with as many friends as possible 🙏🏽 - Samir
Haha I’m still at the resenting my background stage right now, had enough of all the insults and being told I can’t be Irish cuz I’m brown (by anyone except actual Irish ppl) 😂
Of course samir wrote that excerpt, you didn't have to say
who likes daal? 😅
Hello, As a teacher I appreciate your point of view on Why Indian families fare better financially than many immigrants. I do recognize this because I happen to have 5 Half Indian brothers and sisters in my family. Three did very well in careers in engineering and health care after much discipline and study all through school.
I wanted to mention at the end of the video you mentioned this all thanks to Lyndon B. Johnson for signing the civil rights and immigration bills. Do you think he would have signed these bills if it weren't for Martin L. King and all the civil rights unrest at the time in 1965? That would be a big NO. I did not see many Indians if any marching for these rights at the time. In perspective, Indian migration increasing had a lot to others fighting that fight for migration and civil rights. We must in this society see the different perspectives and how things really happened in history, along with who is for us and who is not to be truly successful.
@@oliverqueen5883are you catholic? Can you drink beer and eat pork?
God damn your mom teared up when you talked about how different you felt when you had Indian food for lunch at school, damn. I felt her emotions here. Powerful.
(I'm not Indian) I think the reason why they're the highest earning household is multi-fold:
1. The Indians that immigrate here are well educated. Essentially out of the billion people in India, the US is getting the cream of the crop with respect to talent.
2. If you were to look at the distribution of types of degrees they have, you'll find that they're more often in a tech field (electrical engineering/computer science)
3. Tech easily pays more than $100k per year even in the first year of your career
4. The other professions that Indians typically go for are doctor and lawyer, which also pay lots.
Well explained better then the video
It could also be argued that some of the groups with higher household incomes have cultures that support having multiple generations live in the same house for longer, which would make the "household" earn more because there are more people in it earning money. I'd kind of like to see the stats on individual earners instead of households
@@sirhulk5325 That's an interesting point. I think that's at least true sometimes, but my personal experience is that their (Indian tech workers) parents who come to live with them don't end up getting jobs.
This is a racist video. The fact that the Indians are the richest group in the US, (not really, Jews are) has nothing to do with Indian “work ethics” as the host of this video tells us. Everyone who has ever worked with Indians knows these ethics. The white supremacy has put these people up and gave them education while actively racially discriminating against us, the People of Eastern Europe. I will make a video response to this.
@@sirhulk5325 yes . The parents come to live with them from india. But they won’t work and are dependent on their children. So basically the income even if there are multi generations is by at most two people
seeing your mom tearing up made me almost tear up
Meanwhile in India 2721$ per capita income... Moral of the story: Only the successful people have left India that's why this figure is high.
Yes and that makes sense. Only the capable go to any nation. Except maybe Canada where the Indian sikhs emigrated and most of them worked as plumbers and other blue collar jobs but their kids are all doctors and lawyers. So it’s really about the work they do. Indians value education, both the rich and the poor
Not exactly
Indians basicaly evolve in a tough life league. Where you better be a capable talented high energy man/women to have a descent life
In western countries, if youre uncompetent lazy failure. You will get welfare and lot of free services (except in some states in usa). So they are softer at winning in life
So when you transfer india in a easy life league life western countries. They do wonders 😂
Its like if prime cristiano ronaldo. Went to play in MLS at 24 years old. He will find the league too easy
Same work in india in america become 100000$ salary... Its just early ppl, sucesfull will have to return if they joined late bcz they didn't get green card lol
Currency value is something to be considered when coming to India as Rich Indians hold most of the money and middle class being poor cause of Inflation
Are comparing over a billion and if look historically most steady, from oldest civilizations to involved in modern.
Hey there,
Loved the video, man!
I've got some relatives in the US, and one of them has finished her degree but is struggling to find a job. I've been curious for a while about why our elders see the US as such an opportunistic place, and now I get it. Life has changed a lot, considering the supply and demand patterns.
This is the kind of content I love to see! Keep it up!
Yes, times definitely are changing quite a bit. Talking to some relatives and such, green cards and sponsorships are now pretty hard to get, things eb and flow.
@@TejasHullur Definitely
Wow, I’m from Dharwad and I moved to United States 8 years ago. I’m glad I watched this video and now I know there were people from my hometown who moved here in 1970s.
omg my parents and a lot of my family are from Dharwad! (i’m indian-american)
16 minutes and no mention of the fact, most Indians that work in USA are high-skilled jobs? IT, medicine, and some businesses like motel chains -- these are sectors where many Indians are getting visas to work in the US. The salaries in those sectors make up for the Indian taxi drivers and convenience store owners. That's what tips the scales in Indians' favour.
What? it's literally what he mentioned. When immigration act lead people with degrees, especially focused on STEM? His dad said the same. Were you focusing on trolling while the video was on?
7:42 The first reasons he states is education in STEM. So idk if you watched the video clearly or not.
this is going to be the video that takes your channel to new heights - unbelievable story telling, Tejas.
This video overdelivered. Thank you, Tejas!
As an Indian myself that grew up in Europe, I can relate to this and I also resented my culture when I was younger beca i was an outcast. But now im slowly starting to love it.
Amazing video - hits home. Our parents gave us first gen Indian - Americans an amazing platform.
5:12 loved the clash of clans reference
Great minds think alike...
Loving your videos more and more and more
If you thought this is purely a by product of larger households, you're absurdly wrong. The Indians in the US beat the crap out of everyone else in AVERAGE PERSONAL INCOME TOO, by a massive margin. One of the shocking metrics is that Indian Americans make up about 1% of the US population and pay about 6.5% of all taxes collected.
This was amazing. Thanks for breaking this down and sharing a bit of your literal culture with us. Really cool hearing your parents story straight from their mouth
BRO WAKE UP TEJAS JUST DROPPED!!!
hi tejas my name is ojas , I think every indian kid with slightly better environment even in india feels that they are diva, thats how indian culture has been , people around us makes us feel that way , glad you pointed that out
Great work @TejasHullur! I learned so much from this video. Keep up the stellar work my man.
Bhai aap logo ko usa me khus dekhkar bahut achha lagta hai bas india ko kabhi bhulna mat bhai ❤❤❤ love you from 🇮🇳India
I’ve always struggled with identity, but when others share their story (like you) it always makes me feel seen - great video 💯
I AM NOT CRYING YOU ARE CRYING.
How is this channel not blowing up like crazy?!
Appreciate you!
Because they choose to do something with their life and work and learn hard, and not to sell drugs on the streets.
Or rob places and threaten employees
@@egomaniac1209you are confusing us.
@rilum97 ah yes, the land of India where we see the top 1 Million hold 80% of wealth as Indians and disown the rest of the 1.4 Billion Indian's, their problems and condition. There are Indians in different countries doing the same shit that you wrote, its just that in US they'd be deported if caught. It is because of Indians like you writing hurtful comments on Other countries without looking at our own that we are called Racist.
They keep their culture and family values strong unlike westerners that don’t
@@Will.Flavellif that is the case than why are Indians who live in India less successful and most of us so poor??
Loved the video man. I know you mentioned it in the video, but It really does boil down to the fact that alot of immigrants who are high income earners had resources to even have the chance to come to the USA. They've had education back home and are now pursing a higher education or work here. It just so happens that there are a lot of Indians
really nice storytelling, great editing, keep up the good work and you'll probably reach 100k!
TEJAS!! it's Sooraj here :) I very much value the time and effort you spend in your storytelling, you're truly becoming one of my favorite story outlets. Thank you.
Love the quality, keep it up and you'll easily make a living!!
Great to see kannadigas doing soo well in their life. Kushi aytu❤
Found one Kannadiga outside of Karnataka. LOL
@@Maver1ck101 It's soo hard to find one bro😂.
@@nitheshm.g225 Karnataka is one of the most underperforming states in India. And when folks from other states come to Bangalore to get good jobs, you feel resentful. Hahaha!
If it was underperforming folks from other states wouldn't come here so take your faux outage smwhere else
🇮🇳
Bless your mum n dad. Such good folks.
Strong family values and a culture where it's ok to live with your parents for a very long time helps as well. The North American "you're out of the house by 18" type of culture is getting young people started with debt instead of getting life started wth savings. In Canada there are many indians and sharing a large house with family is normal, and I think that is why indians own so much real estate and open so many businesses in CAnada, living together allows you to save, struggling financially with expensive rent doesn't offer much of a probability of accumulating assets.
No, only the smartest Indians get a chance to move to America, you are comparing top 5% of Indians and average American.
@@jayasuriyaj3470 so does every single immigrant group in Canada that isn't a refugee. It is, or was for the most part, very tough to immigrate. You'll usually get the wealthiest groups of every nation immigrating here. With this cost of living, just coming here with the money you need to get started it already preselects that social class automatically. Now refugees that's different. I know Canadians of wealthy families though, many many Canadians of wealthy families that are not doing as well as their immigrant friends. So I do think there is an aspect here where childhood neglect and tense family relationships really doesn't help. I don't know a single immigrant person that has eliminated their parents from their lives(won't talk to them). Most of my Canadian friends are at least at odds with their family, if not completely cut them off from their lives.
@@marihutten Indian culture simply holds children from exploring new path... Most Indians focus on grade over knowledge, causing highest suicide rates among students. Name one good invention of post indipendent india. Western countries just want intelligent and hard working people who can't think on their own.
immigrant parents are not kinder many of them are from cultures where children are beaten by parents uncles aunties and teachers their family relationships are bad but they are used to it they dont cut their abusive parents off unless they are westernized
@@jayasuriyaj3470abe chodu gadh ke apan ka ma bap padhai karwate hai isliye apan itna successful hai udhar. Jo indians america me rehte hai unke sir se badam nai ugta. Unke ma bap bas afford karsakte hai unko udhar bhejna. Jaruri nai hai ki america me bheje unke maa bap toh Americans se rich honge. Unke bacche jo itna mehanat kiye wahi rich bnaye hai. Sach bat ek bat, india me bahut padhne ke bad bhi success nai milta kyu ki system bekar hai aur education bhi. America me job opportunity, system sab first class. Udhar log bas aalsi hai aur apan nai. Ye itne log idhar upsc aur iit neet ka prepare karte hai na idhar. 95% log idhar kuch bda nai kar pate itna padhne baad bhi. But america me yai bacche amir hote bahut. kyuki udhar padhai hi vaisi hai. Ye sirf culture aur strong family values ki wajah se hai. Cream of the top ki vajah se nai😂

Hello there! Thank you for tackling the questions that are always thought of, yet never asked. Pacing and editing is beyond exceptional, yet it was difficult hearing yourself and parents during certain segments due to the intensity of the background music.
FIRST!!!!!!!
my brother!!
YOOOO
appercieate bro supporting bro
As my family started coming to America, they had very low paying jobs, worked long hours, were crammed in one home, shared a few cars. Now many of them own businesses, multiple houses, or have careers they followed through college. I have noticed they value every dollar earned, and look for opportunities to save even a little bit. My mom always has me bring her the advertisement at our local grocery store and she likes to buy based on what is on sale. I have to be honest and say I am the complete opposite. I swipe my cc for anything and everything and don't bother to look at the weekly ad. She has very good money spending habits. I think that coming from a small village and growing up without niceties really shapes your mind in how to earn and save. When I compare myself, and those my age who grew up in America, I would say we do not value money the same way as those coming from basically nothing.
Another great educational and entertaining video. This is a topic that resonates with so many children and grandchildren of the immigrants from the 60s and 70s.
Many of those early pioneers have passed on, but some remain. I hope this video encourages all that are here due to a grandparent or granduncle/aunt's - to reach out and learn about their story ... And therefore learn their own origin story.
Very good research on the "Indian immigration to the US" timeline and background. Can relate well with your parents' story, I had a similar path...came for graduate study and settled down here. Like your dad said - emphasis on education with Healthcare & STEM as the main (and only) options and English based education made it easier. We were also lucky in the 70s, 80s, 90s to have a relatively easy and smooth process towards obtaining a visa for studies and working towards US citizenship.
Hey this is an awesome video man, keep up the great work!
Your production quality is really good. Keep it up bhai.
As a black American. Embrace your native culture. That's what is supposed to make America so great and unique, the world's melting pot.
As an indian,, I loved this video thanks tejas for making it,, I'm proud on you my brother 😊
That was one of my favorite episodes 🥺♥ I feel so much more educated towards the topic! I never knew the percentage was THAT high on that salary as well!! Indians are just built different 🤣♥ Mind blown 🤯
Just glad Filipinos got a mention 🥳
One thing to note , if indians are successful in America but not in India, Its mostly an American success story, not just indians.
This is not a controversial opinion.
not exactly, if other races are struggling in america.
eg african american people
Insecure much? There were no claims about anything as such in this video, keep punching the air.
Not exactly most Indians who succeed in tech & medical fields in America got world class education from subsidized govt institutions at a fraction of cost. Without Indian govt funded institutions most of these first gen indian Americans wldnt even hv that opportunity.
Thank Indian govt and Indian tax payers for the opportunity.

WOW appreciate you bro!

That's amazing!!! Your parents are unicorns my guy
Slidebean, Johnny Harris and now I can add you on my list of favorite TH-camrs who explain stuff very well. Very interesting topic! Learned something new 😊. Indian people worked very hard. I'm a descendant of Indian contract workers that came to work on the plantages in South America/Caribbean. My parents were born in Suriname and left to The Netherlands in the 70s, for a better future. Thousands of Indian descendants did the same. I was born in The Netherlands. I want to tell a lot but will be too long.
This video made me realize to thank my parents also. Love from The Netherlands ❤.
these are the breakdowns YT needs 🙏 great video bro
What an amazing video with a little peek into your family life and so educational! Maybe it was completely coincidental, but I thought the bedroom interview was a really cool blend of SEA and american culture. No shoes, which is the only acceptable way to live your life. The furniture looked very American with the rocking chair and big bed. His parents were sitting with their head higher than his, which again maybe accidental, but that's a sign of respect in SEA. So it had a mix of informal American (bedroom) and formal SEA (heads higher) customs. Really cool to see!
So many things were recognisable (I am not Indian, but my mum is from SEA). The focus on education, family members sitting on the floor with their back on the sofa, on the passion for foods that might look odd but are totally delicious.
You describing your lunch box moment in the end is whew 😭 great video Tejas! A good look into breaking down a little bit of the model minority myth.
mannn this is probably my favorite video so far on your channel! Can't explain how much I relate to this and seeing your mom tear up made me tear up lol! Also, I want to point out the great job you did at not painting a picture as if indian americans were superior than others! Great objectivity, and as always, filled with useful knowledge. Much love brother!
Absolute banger of a video. Good stuff bro
As an Indian (British tho) great vid thanks for representing us
America clears bro. get out 😂
I just love how I learn new things with your videos all the time
I enjoyed this video but I think there’s one factor that you missed. Since overseas immigrants are more likely to move to larger cities and suburbs instead of smaller towns and rural areas, their income in the city may be higher than the average income across America.
Being an Indian back in India, one thing I would point out - education is NOT a core value to Indian culture. I am a marwari (a caste that has historically been involved in trade and business a lot) and none of my cousins did well in school (they were all pretty average students), and my parents never ephasized education that much (it was pretty important, but not as much as your parents did). I am pretty sure this is also the case with Gujratis. You just come from a background where education was emphasized a lot because if it weren't, you wouldn't be in America.
Education IS the core value.
Education isnt book reading only like you think.
Maybe for your family, education means something else. But education is very much a core value. Idk why or how it's not for your family.
@an1ketsharma @catcat63527 All these people telling me that education is a core value, what I meant was that its not the #1 priority for everyone. From what I've noticed (broad generalizations here, forgive me) bengalis prioritize art and education and literature and things of that sort a lot more than marwaris, we mostly prioritize money and family. Similarly, different ethnic groups have different cultures that value different things. You have to remember that India is almost as diverse as Europe(probably even more), you can't say that the Italians or the Russians value education culturally as much as the French do.
yeah but it vaires from families and local culture n mindset everywhere but overall its exaggeration as most people in my locality cared more about mastikhori than padhai but sure there were nerds too but true genius were few and planned on moving to better places.. indian education system also sucks and gloobal pisa performance of indian students is abysmal but most are ignorant of fact n just overrate instead of actually making things better which eventuallly would be
I am Gujarati, and yeah education is not nearly as valued as I notice for south indians. Most Gujaratis end up going to community college or owning/starting a business in the usa
great video! I definitely see you becoming a very successful youtuber
Enjoyed watching this. Learnt some new stuff ❤
Hey Tejas, love this one !
It makes sense that a culture that is optimized for large population is good at competition against other people

As a Pakistani I fully support love respect and support India and Indian army on Kashmir issue from Pakistan 🙂. Best regards from Pakistan 🙂.
Bro. Hope we become one country someday. Once we forget egos and learn to live with one another with love. We will be among the happiest.
Pakistan can never manage or become a good society - the reason is that religion is incorporated into the governance of the country. There is not a country in the world that can be governed by religion and at the same time succeed. India sees religion as culture - something completely different and in step with Europe and the USA. You can say you support a religion - but that should lie in the heart and has nothing to do with state power. If God wants .............. is the stupidest thing people say - because you have free will anyway.

Ayy nice to see a fellow kannadiga. We're a dime a dozen out here haha
Actually, I'm an economist, Jews are the highest-earning demographic group in the US, but depending on where you pull your data from, Jews may not be included and call them White. Modern-Orthodox Jews have a Median Household Income (same metric as used in this video) of $158,000, and Open Orthodoxy Jews (meaning covering Jews of the whole range of Orthodoxy in the Jewish faith, not just Modern) have a median household income of $185,000. 23% of Jews (1 in 4) day their households earn $200,000 or more. I don't think people realize how crazy high this is beyond all other demographic groups, and having begunnmy conversion to Orthodox Judaism, I totally see why they earn so much. The best communities, families, and values in the world hands-down.
It's also worth investigating income per capita, not median household income, if you want an idea of who makes the most at the individual level. While median household income is a better metric to see how every household fares in the economy, it's not as representative for single people living alone and working.
Jews, Indians, and Taiwanese (followed by other East and Southeast Asians) are the highest-earning demographic groups in the US. I did research on this as an economist and read others' research on the topic. It's mostly because these three groups share similar values, parenting styles, emphasis on education and careers with high incomes and high value-add, the Chinese and Jews share a similar high average IQ with Indians as an outlier having a lower average IQ than the average American.
Though we have to factor in that most of these Indians and Chinese moving to the US and other countries are the best of the best or those with money, which is why Indian Americans seem very intelligent when I meet them (not low IQ) with Japanese saying the same of their Indians.
This phenomenon of mostly those with money or high intelligence and skills being the majority of the Indians and Chinese that actually make it into the US could very well be another huge factor contributing to why the Indians and Chinese in the US earn to much.
Great work on your video, especially where you made the connections with US immigration policy and why India has a bit more of an advantage to leverage the US immigration system.
Lastly, I will say that many of the factors that contribute to Indians and Chinese having high incomes in the US, though not all, can disappear in the next generations, especially with inter-marriage with Americans who don't share such values. This is part of why I think Jews will always be more successful than others because they avoid marrying non-Jews and will bring money into their communal economies but not let money out of them. They're so wise that I found much in common with them and converted to Judaism. Much to learn from analyzing them.
Some People in this comments fail to realize that there are other Indians who are just as successful who weren't recent immigrants or FOTBs from India who were the "cream of the crop" of talent.
For one, many parents were blue collar workers and it was the first gen that went to college in Western countries.
For two, Indian people from the diaspora has existed for hundreds of years. People who came as indentured laborers a 180 years ago, are some of the most educated and successful people in the diaspora today. And in stem as well. Lots of business owners too. And a lot of people whontry to negate what we worked to accomplished as well.
You forgot the mention the Indian institute of technology and many other subsidized high skilled education provided by the indian govt from 1960s onwards.
Indian govt funded these STEM institutions and offered world standard curriculum and education to Indians at a fraction of cost which paved the way for Indians succeeding in US. Without govt funded institutions like IITs, Indians wldnt be in such high earning positions in America.
Dude you genuinely make the most interesting concepts!
Finding things that are curious to me!
Thank you for making this video Tejas❤
i love these videos bro, different for sure.
Great video, as always.
Because they are most of the smartest or if not smart they are most hardworking type of Indians that successfully escaped india. People talk a lot shit about USA but USA is way better then India. If one person is not smart also but is an honest hard working dude he can earn 100% more in USA then what he would earn in India
One of the most genuine videos I have seen💯.
Wow! Tejas you are just awesome 👏🏻
Fantastic video. Although you did mention this, you did not go deeper into one of the biggest reasons for Indian American success - low divorce rates, two-parent households, intact family units. It is often underestimated how much this factor contributes to individual and community success.
Thanks. for making this inspiring video. First gen like us laid a good foundation. We want American Indians to become world citizens. You should help all needy from any culture, from any background. We have to continue moving our human civilization - true Basudheib Kutumbakam. You guys are our hero's. You are breaking barriers!
These are median household earnings. Surely they take into account 10 Indians living in a 3 bedroom house.
more
Skill issue, don't have the support of parents or family? Don't moan about it, especially when others do
Religion and culture are one more of the reasons. (Proud Gujarati here) (Gujarat is a state in India/Bharat)

HAHA great minds think alike
I was told by my Art teacher to never forget me 'Hindi'. This was at a time when others were encouraged to forget their roots.
Y2K, outsourcing followed by insourcing and globalized sourcing businesses like HCL, Satyam, Tata Services and more have hugely contributed to drastic increases in immigration from India over the last quarter century.
Y2K migration required huge manpower that came from India.
Also, Junior Bush announced major outsourcing policy shift favoring India in his state of the union speech.
China also hugely benefited from offshoring of manufacturing to mainly China.
These major policy decisions primarily contributed to extremely heavy immigration from India as well as manufacturing move out to China.
Likewise in 80’s Steel manufacturing was offshored following a major policy shift.
That income per household approach leaves a question: how many people are in a average Indian-american household and how many are in average American household? Also, I appreciate that India’s higher education is hugely massive and competitive and produces a lot of champions just by a sheer pressure cooker environment. Now, it’s also based on English language. So, given India’s generally low level of incomes, lots of Indian graduates want to go abroad to pursue career or further education in English speaking countries, top destination being the US. Some succeed . Huge luck, considering the multi million people backlog trying to get into the US. There they get compared with average American population. Again, toppest Indians (comprising a fraction of 1% of India population) concentrated in the most high-salaried industries are compared with general American folks and oh, miracle, they have a much higher household (!) income! No wonder.
