Indian?

In what sense is he "Indian"? He is noted as born in Tennessee and in Arabia ... neither is a distinctly Indian place ...

Collins could kick your ass with his Zen powers. 24.155.227.237 05:21, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had the wonderful opportunity to learn from Dr. Collins in the Ph.D. program at UCR many years ago. His prestige lifted the status of the sociology department at UCR in the 1980's and 1990's. He is a brilliant Theorist, and I have never met anyone who could put all the pieces together the way he can. I owe much thanks to Dr. Collins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.205.54.2 (talk) 08:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
