Gabe, The article you have cited was about the US, not N. America, and it is true that Americans by-and-large are what we call "fat and sassy", and benign until provoked. Since you live in the UK, where I have lived before and would not live again if my life depended on it, the following excerpt from another Goanet posting may be instructive: "Indian Americans have surged forward as the most successful Asian minority in the United States, reporting top levels of income, education, professional job status and English-language ability, even though three-fourths were foreign-born, according to U.S. census data released Wednesday." The above is an understatement because it refers to only Asians, whereas Indians in the USA have ranked No.1 in "family income by ethnic group" across all American citizens, since the 1980 census. And, we're working on our weight as well. --- Gabe Menezes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ########################################################################## > # Goanetters-2004 meet in Goa.
