In regards to the tommy stuff

You need to look at it from the perspective of the British. They are at least from their empire, there has been a fair bit of exchange through history, and for all the nepotism and cheating stuff, there are worse immigrants. No I don’t want them here but if I have to take em, if we need to take 20 bajillion immegrants this year, well at least these ones seem to have a stereotype of hard work/hard study ethic of sorts. More than can be said of other groups at least. It is easy to see how they might be perceived as better. And better doesn’t mean good

Praise of Indians and Asian immigrants is old liberal ‘model minority’ stuff. They are being praised because, in those perceived important areas (hard work, contributing) they are doing the right thing(with tonnes of caveats, yes I know, it’s relative) and integrating. As compared to say, the Muslim immigrants (Tommy’s focus) who by and large and stereotypically are not doing that and who are committing other crimes at higher numbers.
