Why are the Indian, especially in the United States, so crazy about Amway?
For most Indians in the USA, before they become permanent residents, this is ILLEGAL. But there isn't enough enforcement to dissuade them from doing this "business", which in reality is working for Amway!
Indians who are new in the USA invariably fall for the sales pitch, which has been polished over generations, and Indianized by other Indians who have chased their own Amway millionaire dream. There ARE Indian Amway millionaires, make no mistake about that. But they are very few in number, and they got there by truthfully enslaving others below them in the Amway pecking order, who also have dreams of doing that to others!
Most of the time, Indians do not have it in them socially to say hello to strangers. If they do so in the USA, more than half the time, they are trying to recruit you to their Amway scheme. They will give you all kinds of spiel about how positive things are, and how much opportunity there is, and all of it is true, but what they will never tell you is how statistically impossible it is to get to the best place financially through Amway.
For a short while I was exposed to this racket in Los Angeles, but luckily I am not one of those Indians who hangs around Indians so I had some fun and stayed away, but I can go to Cerritos anytime and I can now tell by sheer body language, which Indian is there for shopping and which is there for recruiting. I have been rude on a few occasions, with pleasure, in warding them off. Easy way to eat all the delicious food there without being disturbed by Amway millionaire wannabes - go there during the weekdays!
It IS a disease, and Indians in the USA are ideal candidates to spread it. I know a lot of Amway flop stories, including people who gave up their jobs and had a hard time getting back after their Amway dreams went kaput. The next time you hear this talk, ask them how many people they recruited have become rich. That should shut them up.
Some Indians will even tell you how to live the "American Dream" and why it is a great country and so on, since they can show you opportunities like Amway. To me, the American Dream has always been based on working hard, making a genuine contribution to society, sharing, not being afraid of failure, enterprise, and being able to make something out of your"self". It never came across as being based on recruiting a few people to a "scheme", getting rich, and milking the economy for the rest of my life in early retirement. Reality is not that hard to find, no matter what dream one has. Amway recruiters are very successful at hiding reality. If you bring them down to the level where they just want to sell you products, they have given up on you!!
