"I must admit that I have lived in several Anglophone countries, but this is what I notice in terms of subtle markers of class: What is a good school? Indian Americans will usually push their kids into the local state/government/public school. They will usually insist it is an excellent school, because other Asians go there, so the stats look good. None of these graduates, however, really go on to accomplish anything newsworthy. Most will not do as well as the Indian students, either.

However, they rarely invest in private school educations that will provide the proper social capital for their children to really advance. I am talking about Indian American families that can easily drop $200,000 on a wedding, but don’t think about having their children educated at a good private school, let alone Rosemary Choates, Andover, Exeter etc.

Elite Whites use such institutions to socialise their children and introduce them to the right people, and teach them how to interact in these settings. Most Indian American parents can’t tell the difference between rich whites, so they think the suburban McMansion school zone will provide this experience to their children.

Another example is in sports. Indian Americans see this as a distraction, but this is a key part of elite white culture. Again, they cannot tell the difference between a their Football Jock neighbour, and the rugby player from a private school. On the whole, sport is an essential part of American socialisation, and the ability to reference one’s playing days works in everything from recruitment to the board room. That aside, Indian Americans can’t tell the difference between private school Lacrosse and local school Football/Soccer. They both have a very different look on an application, and very different cultures they impart.

Even their neighbourhoods Indian Americans choose are an indication of this. They can afford to live in much better areas, among Elite whites, such as well established inner suburbs, or well-heeled city enclaves, but they choose the McMansions of outer suburbia. These neighbourhoods, like the schools, are an important part of elite socialization and centres of power and culture. Again, however, Indian Americans think that the larger houses or lower prices mean a better place. They don’t realise that their neighbours nice car and McMansion both come from large amounts of debt, and this person is less well educated and does not share their values. There was a show called King of the Hill, where an extremely ambitious (if vain) Asian American professional still winds up living next to a Propane salesman, an exterminator, and other “rednecks and hillbillies” as he calls them. Indian Americans can afford better, but I usually see the same.

I could go on and on in this vein, whether it is dress sense, or etiquette, but it seems that Indian Americans, despite having the resources, often miss the mark in terms of what pays off in moving upwards socialy. Because class markers are much subtler in the United States, they make the mistake of believing that Sugar Land is as good as River Oaks, the Virginia Suburbs are in the same league as Northwest DC, or that Edison New Jersey compares to the Upper East Side."

(From me: Chinese in the US are exactly like this. Blind. This is one reason why their children are so irreparably screwed up.)
