I might have agreed had the comment been made by an Indian-American comedian, actor, author, journalist, ... someone in liberal arts, from someone with a truly unconventional career path.

A PhD from Caltech in machine learning and optimization doesn't sound very different from being a doctor if we're speaking of conventional (read: boring) career paths

Well he has Americanized superior parents with ultimate forward looking attitude.

So he chose the highly unconventional path of PhD in STEM. After finishing it he would chose uncustomary and also forward looking job at FAANG.

While the Untermenschen from his school mates of indian origin chose to become doctors or did not persue the much forward looking career in TE.
