Re: Are we (Muslims in West) really invulnerable?
Success in your career means you are more valuable to the country, plain and simple. Higher educated individuals are also more likely to be integrated into Western society, as opposed to living in segregated communities. Being a drain on the economy, and not “fitting in” are among the most common “concerns” that right wingers have. It’s hard to make that claim against Desis, in the US and Canada at least. Look at any engineering or med school class and you’ll see plenty of brown kids.
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t any challenges, just that success makes it easier for minorities to integrate into society.
