Good Indian food doesn't exist in the US. Take a trip to BC, or the UK, and you'll see what I mean.
While I am in agreement that BC has plenty of authentic south asian cuisine, Seattle is not so terrible. Food recommendation: Gulberg Restaurant, 5943 Fraser St, Vancouver, BC V5W 2Z6 Authentic Lahori food. The cuisine is way older than the 1947 partition...
Is the author generalizing other South Asian immigrants as Indian Americans? Or is it factual that Indian-Americans do own 50% of motels in the USA? Because I have seen a lot of Bangladeshis, Pakistanis and even Arabs owning motel businesses across the USA. I am not cleared about this just from reading the article alone.
I think it safe to say they mean "Indian American" in a racial rather than national context, akin to "African American". So I'd take it to include people who have ethnic ties to the entire Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan and Bangladesh. As a Canadian who has lived many years in the US, the casual use of racial descriptors still shocks me. I find is very discomforting to be asked my race on forms, to see natio…
