I have been living in Houston for last 9 years. I worked in gas stations for 2 yrs when I was new here in 2000-01 and gas station owners here praised Nepalese workers for their honesty. Few months ago I visited the store I used to work long time ago and the manager swore he was never going to hire another nepali..and you know why.. stealing M**fu#$Q@#rs. There is this flood of nepali students coming in Houston recently from schools in Alabama and Arkansas. Every freaking gas stations in town has at least one nepali guy working.. I dont have any problem with that.. but I am worried that one day I will be ashamed to identify myself as a nepali going into these gas stations.

I am not generalizing, and there are many honest people out there too  but recently I have heard way too many stories about freaking nepali guy stealing in gas stations. What a shame!
