they probably arent smart but the jury is out on just what india's average iq really is, my guess is probably about 85~, about the same as the gulf arab states
remember how big india is, 1.5 billion people, if india's av IQ is about 85 then you can do the math yourself on how many high IQ people that can produce
85 (average) (+15) 100 (top 15%) (+15) 115 (top 2%)
2% of 1.5 billion = 30m~
15% of 1.5 billion (225 million or so)
so give or take assuming all these numbers are correct, that gives you a ball park of about 225 million indians in the world with about the same level of intellectual competency as the average european person
which is a f__kload of people, thats like half of the EU right there
so the smarter fraction of india can swamp the world and create the impression of competency, while india itself remains a festering poo hole that's barely any better than nigeria
but that's definitely not what is happening in australia, all of the actually smart indians are moving to the usa these days (why wouldn't they top end salaries are far better there and cost of living is also lower), we get all the reject trolleypushers and shitkickers now; none of them seem especially competent to me
but i agree they're not super problematic (in terms of crime, social discord etc) like say sub saharan africans are
theyre quite anomalous in that respect; they dont seem to be that especially taken to aggression or brutality, but they are extremely perverted
best way to put it is theyre sex pests, not thugs
i'm sure they're overrepresented in crimes like rape, sexual assault etc, but not at all in violent acts that involve physically overpowering another person (especially a man)
which makes it all the more ironic and funny that 9 out of 10 security guards in australia nowadays are indian, imagine hiring some 5'2 tamil guy to guard your business
i do think the thing about indians is that they are kind of just viscerally gross to a lot of ppl and generally unlikable
they absolutely do stink like sh1t
super pushy too, annoying
talk to any woman about it
least charismatic people of all time
any party that proposes capping / ending migration of them would win office for the rest of all time and garner widespread popular support, including from some indians here as well
a tad harsh JC but some of your points are interesting.
in dubai, a contruction mecca, most of the workers seem pakistani, indian, philipino.
they work in harsh conditions
australia needs cheap housing
how about we adopt the dubai model and even offer them better conditions and more pay.
we could knock up housing blocks for 1/2 the current price.
and lets face it. like the arabs in dubai, aussie workers (i use the term lightly) dont want to work in the hot sun laying bricks for 1/2 the minimum wage
it would be a win for us and certainly a win for these workers from asia.
and they can go home after a year or two with twice as much cash as they would from dubai or singapore.
i call this "constructing the win/win"
