Q&A: Even when Indians are killed in racial attacks by Americans, why are they still mad to settle in the USA?

The recent incident in Kansas involving two Indians, when one American fired seven bullets at them after yelling “get out of my country,” is raising a lot of question among digerati.

Following on an earlier question - "What are your thoughts on the shooting of Indians in the Kansas pub?" - my response to another question that came up online:

Even when Indians are killed in racial attacks by Americans, why are they still mad to settle in the USA?

Let us take a balanced view here.

Yes, there are ethnic and racial undercurrents in America. One might also encounter sporadic incidents of violence and hate-crime, like the recent “Kansas shooting,” that can be extremely jarring. However, these incidents are too few and far between to significantly impact daily lives of residents and Citizen.

I have lived in over a dozen countries across three continents and have heard of and read accounts of racism or xenophobia in most places. This said, I haven’t personally encountered - knock on wood - racism or xenophobia in my travels.

Even taking into account the few of its problems, America continues to be the strongest and most vibrant economy in the world. It is still the land of opportunities. It is not surprising to see people waiting for years in the immigration queue to migrate to America.
