Chinese people are big in numbers and they are pretty hard working and intelligent. I lived in a posh area in NY years ago. The entire neighborhood was Jewish . My family was the only Indian family. We moved about a year ago. 80% of the houses were owned by Oriental people when we moved.

When we were younger we had a nanny from India. After that no we could not afford to keep servants. We weren't rich like our Jewish neighbors. I currently am in India now and living a happy life. I don't know if I will go back to NY in the near future.
