GAH! NO![^] \m/
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to give respect to Native Americans.
Although they also immigrated to the Americas from Asia, albeit a long time ago.

Chochmingwu - a girls name meaning "Corn Mother" (Hopi)
Native Americans did emigrate from Asia, but I don't know if there is any similarity in the languages.

One that doesn't start with "pradeep" (merely an example, but you catch my drift, or at least you should).

I catch your drift loud and clear.
But it wasn't meant to be a political comment even if it became one.
When I wrote "Serious question" I meant that. What is an American name?
Is it the origin? Etymology? Or is it American after a certain number of generations? (From a big enough ethnic group) And if so, how many generations?
I was leaning towards the first, my name for example is a Danish form of George which is Greek. Yours is Hebrew.
But Piebalds answer made me think of other meanings, George Washington Carver was a great man, and therefore it's a great American name.

What part of the US are you in?
It isn't that bad in the UK, no where near, only a few Asians, so I guess the US must have really pushed to get them over while at the same time Americans didn't fancy a life as a coder. Don't blame them, its a pretty crap job in many ways, and you have to be cut out for it.
|
|
|
|
|
The reason for the fewer numbers in the UK is because all of the work has been shipped out to India!
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, that has happened. Same for US firms too though, but how come so many ended up in the US though?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope.
The level of racism is far higher in the UK.
I know an Indian girl with a Master's degree from Penn State University who couldn't get a job as a coder in the UK while high school graduates were being hired for coding positions.
PS. If she had stayed in the US, she would have found a job. She married and had to move to the UK to be with her husband.
