I also know a white woman married to an Indian man. I probably know or have known other such couples. I don’t really keep track… ---

> [@Curious\_Man](#): > > do you live in a big city type of setting? No. In high school, I lived in a moderate-sized town (maybe 35K). Now, I live in a small city (approx 68K). Both communities are part of larger metro areas, but neither is a suburb of a big city. ---

> [@FaerieBeth](#): > > I find it similarly amazing that you thought such pairings would not exist, much less never having seem one such. Probably because it doesn’t happen much. Unless the family is very progessive, it’s discouraged. ---

In my area it has less to do with Indian people. Most of the White people in my area, especially women, don’t mix it up. I hear in bigger cities they do mix it up but it is usually with Black men and that is about it. ---

You have also not said whether you are native to India or the US, what your current life stage might be, or any other number of life variables that would influence your lack of luck in this area and assist us with any sort of meaningful conjecture. ---

IME, they date non-Indians and then marry Indians. Not all of them, of course, but it is a thing. ---

> [@Anonymous User](#): > > Also, Indians _are_ Asians. And they are White. Well, Caucasoid. As are Middle Eastern/Persians and many Latinos, at least partly. And if you use less-biological and more-cultural definitions, like love of suburban lawn care, you cannot get Whiter than Blacks and East Asians, so this poll has little basis in reality. ---
