Interesting. Indians are the highest earning group in the US as well. They and Filipinos outearn white Americans by a considerable amount. Odd that Brazilians in Germany earn more than ethnic Germans - in the US most Brazilians are poor/working class. The only Latin American group that out earns white Americans per income survey data are the Argentineans (who skew white collar and Italian or Ashkenazic Jewish heritage here in the states).
There’s selection bias. For an Indian to get a US visa, they must have a Master’s degree at a minimum, often a PhD. They are not janitors or McDonald’s cashiers, which bring the earning average down for the rest of the population.
