This goes sideways as well. I was dating an Indian girl in High School (almost 20 years ago). If any older Indian men were around or crossed our path, she would say a few words in spanish. They would assume she was Mexican which would make it none-of-their-business who this "Mexican girl" dated and would stop staring.
- thesimpsons1022 12y agoyeah, the difference there aren't indian businessman stopping you from using their services or letting you work there. and there aren't indian admissions officers not letting you in because they don't like white people. so there is a little difference.
- refurb 12y agoIt's not about race, but see the caste system in India.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoThis happens today also. Strangely, I observed this more in the us than in India. I'm now in India and have dated a number of African girls here. I'm very tall, Africans are tall, Indians are short, hence I am the last man on earth. The reaction of Indians is interesting. If they look up at the girl (I.e. they are 5'8", she is 6'2"), they say I should marry her. If they look straight (she is 5'9") they say I should find a white girl.

That makes a perverse but common amount of sense: by being strict in their adherence to their original culture (where in the old country things are usually more fluid) they aim to show they haven't been swayed/corrupted by the one they're now living in.
