Basically any guy that is Indian ethnically (whether born in India or born in a Westernized country) that has been in an interracial relationship with a woman outside of his own race before.
It is something I have wondered. Currently I am in a small town and don’t see many Indians. Apparently from what I have read online, in most developed countries, Indian men have a hard time attracting women of other races despite being doctors and such.
My experience is limited to small town USA. Was wondering how it is like in the big cities for an Indian guy.
Yep. Male ethnically Indian engineer married to white female engineer. Knew her before her marriage, not him, so I have no idea as to his actual background ( naturalized or native-born or whatever ). I doubt it is all that unusual in major metro areas like mine, though I’m unaware what the statistical out-marriage rate actually is, assuming anyone has even worked that up recently.
In answer yes: my great-great-great grandfather was almost certainly* an Indian dockworker who settled in London took a white woman as his wife and two of my oldest school friends had fathers who were Indian (i.e. ethnically and by birth) and had married English women. I also know a few other men from an Indian background who have married women not from an Indian background.
*I say almost certainly as my great-great grandmother was half-Indian from the East End of London. During the 19th century there were a number of dockworkers from India working in the East End of London and it was fairly common for them to marry white women.
I chalk it up to a lack of cool castles, myself. We just have a miserably depauperate landscape when it comes to medieval fortresses and I think it weighs on our collective psyche in odd and unpredictable ways :).
I know an Indian man/Mexican woman couple. Well, at least, I think they’re still a couple. It’s a tempestuous relationship. They broke up forever and ever, seriously this time, a fortnight ago, then a few days later I heard they were back together.
Yes only American’s have races and racial strife, race was invented in America 200 years ago as a way to show up those nobility obsessed Europeans.
The more you know!!!************
Funny anecdote but in Trinidad after the end of slavery indentured servants were then brought in from India to work plantations, mostly male. This pretty predictably lead to a large population of Indian/African mixed race individuals that were given the name of Dougla like a third race or something. Even up to modern times you rarely see mixed race couples, either married or just BF/GF so it became kind of a joke as to the mystery of the origin of all these mixed race individuals.(not really a mystery;).
Yes, several. For instance, one Kiwi born Indian male with a Kiwi born Chinese girl. Another South African Indian man who is married to an Australian. I probably don’t know a lot of Indian-born men though.
I have a former student/now friend who is Indian: he was born here, but he was raised in a home that still identified pretty strongly with India: they speak Gujarati among themselves, celebrate Indian holidays and not American ones, eat Indian food exclusively, etc. While he’s open to the idea, he’s never dated an Indian girl, and to the best of my knowledge has never found his Indian identity to be an issue in the dating world.
post 9/11, America and i think Australia were prominent as two countries to have retaliatory hate crimes against native muslim citizens, or anyone who looks like them actually. it really is absurd, especially since according to a cursory google, Muslim Americans supposedly still live in fear in their own country.
My boss was dating a white girl when I first interviewed for the job. They broke up about a year and a half ago and I don’t think he’s dated anyone since. Trust me, being Indian is the very, very least of this guy’s trouble attracting women of any race. His own parents don’t like him.
Good friend’s brother (they are Indian Americans, born in US with parents born in India) is happily married to a Japanese American (born, I think, in France, to Japanese parents, has lived in US for years.)
(Well, they’d BETTER be happily married, after such a lavish, multi-location wedding.)
Just last night I saw Hayley Mills (the old Disney child actress) in a TV clip and looked her up in Wikipedia. Her current partner is an Indian guy. It also said she is (or was) a Hare Krishna - I wonder if that’s how they met?
