Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Joe Biden on 7-Eleven, Dunkin' Donuts and Indian-Americans.
  • This is not a problem

    In fact, if you listen to the comment, Biden was commenting on the industriousness and extremely entrepreneurial nature of Indians. He was commenting that they have a niche which they occupy very well.

    Have you ever been in a cheap motel in CO, WY, NV, AZ, NM, and many other western states? They are almost all owned by Indians, and specifically by Patels. Why Patels? Because this large family/clan/tribe/group has identified this as a good niche market, because they sponsor immigration by relatives, because they provide apprenticeship training for new members.

    So, when we go west, we stay in the Paki Motel Chain.
