James Howard Kuntsler was talking about Baltimore the other day in his blog and website. He went on to mention about the sorry state of its culture and mentality not enjoying the fruits of this country educational system. James said something to the effect how when he visited Rutgers University in New Jersey half of the crowd was of Indian descent whose skin color not that much lighter than African-Americans and how they were adapting to the institutions that this country has to offer its citizens. Somehow he managed to imply that the success of Indian students is some sign of the ineptness of African-American inner city citizens.
First of all the Indian immigrants to this country come from a long line of successful merchants who benefited from Anglo-American global dominance back in the day and today. The caste system and inequality that the elites of Indian established has now been attempted in this country and comparing the success to a group of Indians to descendants of slaves is one of the cockamamie comparisons that you will ever come across. Indians who are part of the college complex global pipeline to certain institutions of higher education like Rutgers are not decedents of slaves. These are the descendants of collaborators and it should be no surprise that many have seeked refuge over the years of socialist Indian rule since independence from British colonial rule.
England and America often are places of refuge to people who own many dollar sand pounds though the years fleeing their corrective practices that made them become immigrants in the first place. Many of these elites like the Cubans in the fifties and Indians in the seventies are reverse economic refugees fleeing the tyranny of justice and this country has become refuge for so many people around the world whether they be Nigerians, Indians, or now Chinese who trek here for the "educational" experiences of free-market neo-liberalist thought. Mr Kuntsler needs to take to his into account before he writes about a group of people he sees so part of a college university system
