Hey, so we were taking about how the fact that you have, "Indian blood" meant that the system was stacked against you. I said I would mention that to my wife, who has status.
What I'm wondering is this: When I consider my family, daughter number 1 who is a department head at an NHS hospital in London, daughter number 2 who is in med school, son (the youngest) who is planning to become an engineer, my wife's younger brother who is a mining engineer and mine manager at a larger copper mine in Arizona, wife's youngest brother who is a software engineer and a senior developer and program manager at Microsoft, and our friends who are successful small business owners, small farmers, and retired teachers if the decisions you have made don't have a much bigger impact on how you're making your way through life than a historical disadvantage you might have, if any.
Perhaps you have been convinced that the system is stacked against you to manipulated you into voting against your own self-interest?
