So many Indian Dentists/Doctors?? Why?
Not that that's a bad thing. I'm half Indian, so it's nice to know I have at least half a brain. But at all the dental offices I've been to, 70% of the dentists seem to be Indian (well, South Asian). Same thing to a lesser extent at hospitals. They're NEVER the nurses/assistants, always the ones with the MDs and DDS's.
Why is this? And I'm in America, so don't start with "Maybe because you're in Mumbai", smartasses. lol
Do Indians just possess a gene that makes them really, really love toothpaste? (Certainly not applicable to me, I hate going to the dentist, wonder if I should blame my other Norwegian half).
Do Indians inherently possess extremely high IQs?
Can't ask my father, he's passed.

Well i guess the answer can vary. I live in Australia and from recollection, all of my dentists have been part Indian. IT isn't a bad thing because most of them are nice and the reason is that because there is a shortage of doctors in the world, in India I believe it is a little bit easier to graduate and then they come to other countries where they get better working conditions, which is understandable.
hope this helps

There is a cultural thing too, I know a lot of indian families really want a doctor in the family!
Good thing too, I know the UK had a big drive to get Indian doctors over to work for the NHS in the 60s/70s when we had a shortage.

I ride Harley's. I also rode or owned just about every other brand and model of bike out there in the last 43 years I've had my face in the wind. In fact, I personally owned 26 bikes, with the last 5 all being Harley's. I don't run down any bike (well, I don't count scooters as bikes, so they are fair game). But I sure run down idiot riders, no matter what they are on. I have a lot of praise for the Big street bikes from Honda, and owned several from CB 750's thru super sports and wings. Same goes for Kawasakis's and Yamaha. In fact, I rode for Yamaha on the desert circuit many years ago. It is no different than the ford vs chevy vs dodge etc that has gone on for years. Take pride in what you ride. But that doesn't mean you need to run down the other guys bike. I've ridden dirt bikes, street bikes. crotch rockets, touring bikes etc, even brands no longer around, that most people ave never heard of. I wouldn't have a problem climbing on 90% of them and going for a ride. ride safe

It's because the admission to medical schools in India is very easy. In USA and Canada, it's not very simple to become a doctor, whereas it's easy to become a doctor in India.
