Haha! How very diplomatic you are Agent

No, but to be fair to the Sylhetis, they faced a lot of racism and isolation and it is very difficult to succeed when you are treated like a 2nd class citizen. Bangladeshi immigrants to the USA, Canada etc didn't have it so bad since there were other larger minority groups in these countries (e.g. blacks) who were targetted first. You know the largest minority is generally the scourge of a country.
