Yes, we need the same quotas in NBA.
Maybe we''ll finally be able to win a championship
Okay, but factor in that those Indian-Americans are first or second generation immigrants who self-select and self-qualify to come to the US. So you get far smarter, far more motivated examples than the majority of the population in their home country.
That's why immigrant populations will always score more highly on several indicators than the population in their chosen country of arrival or their original home country.
Are you saying that poor people in America are poor because they're lazy (i.e. "less motivated")?
I'm saying that very successful immigrants immigrate and succeed because they are motivated, smart and have the support to - probably - do well academically.
Poor people are deficient in one or the other of the above qualities.
Take an Indian woman who comes from a wealthy family where it is expected that every member will attend post-graduate or professional school. Her sights are already aligned on that goal and she probably has the innate genetic intelligence to succeed academically. Add in that the family can financially support her and has the contacts to assist her career and she is likely to do well.
A white dude who lives in a trailer park in OK and whose family is 5th generation welfare does not expect to get into college, let alone Harvard Med. He's happy if he has a steady job or learns a trade. And if he can't hold a job, then his family likely just shrugs it off and shares his welfare cheque.
I could say the same thing about inner city Blacks or Hispanics. That make you happier?
Wiki on Brad P....
Early life
William Bradley Pitt was born on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to William Alvin Pitt, the proprietor of a trucking company, and Jane Etta (née Hillhouse), a school counselor.[4] The family soon moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he lived together with his younger siblings, Douglas Mitchell (born 1966) and Julie Neal (born 1969).[5] Born into a conservative Christian household,[6][7] he was raised as Southern Baptist and later "oscillate[d] between agnosticism and atheism."[8] He later reconciled his belief in spirituality.[9] Pitt has described Springfield as "Mark Twain country, Jesse James country," having grown up with "a lot of hills, a lot of lakes."[10]
Pitt attended Kickapoo High School, where he was a member of the golf, swimming and tennis teams.[11] He participated in the school's Key and Forensics clubs, in school debates, and in musicals.[12] Following his graduation from high school, Pitt enrolled in the University of Missouri in 1982, majoring in journalism with a focus on advertising.[13] As graduation approached, Pitt did not feel ready to settle down. He loved films—"a portal into different worlds for me"—and, since films were not made in Missouri, he decided to go to where they were made.[14][15] Two weeks short of completing the coursework for a degree, Pitt left the university and moved to Los Angeles, where he took acting lessons and worked odd jobs.[14] He has named Gary Oldman, Sean Penn, and Mickey Rourke as his early acting heroes.[16]
Note: - Middle class parents. Dad owned a business. Mom was educated. Went to university.
Most white kids from that background would do ok.
Wonder why so many famous entertainers have "left college a few weeks shy of graduating" in their resumes. Realized they were going to flunk out?
lol Some middle eastern countries You don't have to work because of the oil money everybody gets an allowance. Yet Turn on levels are still pretty lowA fascinating map of the world’s most and least racially tolerant countries
2013 article but I've seen later information that is similar.

TLDR;
In addition, a study back in February 2019 by University of Neveda and involved Oxford, University of Lisbon and Tel Aviv University. They had asked a number of questions about prejudice, including race, —aversion to out groups as a neighbors— world-wide. This included over 450,000 individuals, 300 surveys, and 100 nations for this analysis. So, pretty thorough.
- Anglo and Latin countries most tolerant.
- India (surprise, 1949) and Jordan (surprise, PLO) by far the least tolerant.
- Wide, interesting variation across Europe.
- The Middle East not so tolerant.
- Racial tolerance low in diverse Asian countries.
- South Korea, not very tolerant, is an outlier.
- Pakistan (surprise, getting the short end of 1949) , remarkably tolerant, also an outlier.
Results?
For ALL the results, Canada was among the lowest for prejudice against; different religion in general, Islam, Hindus, Jews, different races, and immigrants. Interestingly enough, it appears the country with the lowest prejudice most commonly I think was Trinidad & Tobago.
There was also a CLEAR link between higher GDP and lower prejudice. Therefore, if you want less racism or prejudice, choose capitalism because your GDP will be higher.

Makes sense. The more comfortable economically you are (job, house, food on the table), the more tolerant you are.
“The word ‘racism’ is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything – and demanding evidence makes you a ‘racist.’”
“Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists.’”
“What is called Black History Month might more accurately be called “the sins of white people” month.”
“Blacks were not enslaved because they were black but because they were available. Slavery has existed in the world for thousands of years. Whites enslaved other whites in Europe for centuries before the first black
was brought to the Western hemisphere. Asians enslaved Europeans. Asians enslaved other Asians. Africans enslaved other Africans, and indeed even today in North Africa, blacks continue to enslave blacks.”
“What do you call it when someone steals someone else’s money secretly? Theft. What do you call it when someone takes someone else’s money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else’s money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice.”
“Since this is an era when many people are concerned about ‘fairness’ and ‘social justice,’ what is your ‘fair share’ of what someone else has worked for?”
“When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.”
“We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did.”
“The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country.”
“What ‘multiculturalism’ boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture – and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.”
“We keep hearing that “black lives matter,” but they seem to matter only when that helps politicians to get votes, or when that slogan helps demagogues demonize the police. The other 99% of black lives destroyed by people who are not police do not seem to attract nearly as much attention in the media.”
