I don't know whether it specifically applies to certain races, but (stereo)typically, some are more intelligent and, dare I say, harder-working than others. Indians are apparently a harder-working, more intelligent race. Operate word is apparently. But it would explain why a lot of suburban corner shops are run by Indians immigrant families, because they come here, start on the 'bottom rung' of the economy, and begin to work their way up. It's a testament to their abilities, and their can-do attitude as an immigrant and a person, that they achieve so much, and everything that the deprived, jealous, racist -blam!-s of the land spew at them is a result of their inability to do such things for themselves. tl:dr A lot of immigrants and the families thereof do relatively well for themselves, and the racists are jealous.
