====Indian and South Asian Americans==== The model minority label also includes [[Indian American]]s, because of their high aggregate socioeconomic success. According to the census report on Asian Americans issued in 2004 by the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], 64% of Indian Americans had a [[bachelor's degree]] or higher, the second highest for all national origin groups. In the same census, 60% of [[Indian Americans]] had management or professional jobs, compared with a national average of 33%.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/2009/02/24/bobby-jindal-indian-americans-opinions-contributors_immigrants_minority.html|title=Indian Americans: The New Model Minority|date=2009-02-24|work=Forbes|access-date=2015-02-24}}</ref> Indian Americans also earn the highest [[List of ethnic groups in the United States by household income|median household income]] out of all national origin/ethnic groups and the [[List of ethnic groups in the United States by per capita income|second highest personal income]], after [[Taiwanese Americans]]. This has resulted in several stereotypes such as that of the "Indian Doctor".<ref name="census.gov1">{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-murder-of-srinivas-kuchibhotla-beyond-the-minority_us_58ba4a29e4b0fa65b844b373|title=We the People: Asians in the United States|publisher=Census.gov|format=PDF|access-date=24 February 2015}}</ref> It should however be noted that there are still pockets of poverty within the community, with around 8% classified as living in poverty.<ref name=":1" />
