    This is the American Dream. I actually teared up a little at this.

    They moved here during the civil rights era and yet say it’s worse today. We have serious work to do! 😔

    This was good to watch; glad they did this segment. Although it would've been nice to hear from the women in their families as well.

      sah19 I think they wanted to show more of the brotherhood amongst their fathers that is emulated in their male circle of friends.

    This is terrific. Native-born Americans should see this (and other films like it) so that they can understand immigrants and what their experience is like and get rid of any stereotypes they may have.

    As Ravi's dad says: this is so awesome. More like this, please! Films like these are making me miss America and remember why it's so... awesome. Also: Ravi and his dad need their own show....

    The show is literally designed to go outside of your comfort zone. You will see things on it that are not allowed on cable TV. So don't expect the whole thing to be like this clip. This is fantastic, though. I love it.

    I like how the dad's friend said he is afraid of the racial divisions getting to America. Imagine that. A brown man who immigrated to America in 1960s and did well for himself and his family through that era is now afraid of racial divisions wreaking havoc on America-- that is what woke, identity politics, victimhood politics does. Someone with nothing, came to America, worked hard, and did alright. People who got the ultimate lottery and were born in America seem to find things to complain about but others come here don't complain, just work to make their dreams come true.

    I’m an Indian American.
    Our story is slightly different from Ravi’s. My dad, mom, sis and myself emigrated to NYC when I was 8 in 1989.
    I’ve seen Ravi talk about his “Indianness” and it comes off as very fake.
    Perhaps, it’s cuz I wasn’t born here.
    Perhaps, it might’ve been that we were lower middle class in Brooklyn trying to assimilate and find out way. And maybe Ravi’s upbringing was different.
    But mostly it’s probably cuz he came off as really douchey when he was on Maher.
    Umm...yeah, it’s probably cuz of that.

    Hilarious. I kept laughing at it. One Indian parents exaggerate their struggles and minimize ours...haha "What struggle! You get food and water, no?!?" They were way more liberal in their own lives, and when I went to school: "Don't talk to a single boy." (Btw xrated movies and porn shops....Um...What!?! I'm sure their village will be happy to hear this...haha Also that's kinda creepy...and gross.)
