They are not in OBX.
Also only saw like three black people in OBX over an entire week and all of them were summer workers. It’s really shocking how white OBX is (Corolla, Duck, Hattaras, etc.) |

| They don’t much like domestic vacations in my experience. |

| At Niagara Falls. At least when I was a kid! |

I’m not lying. Men in polos huddled under brand new umbrellas. Seemed bored and annoyed. |

Lol, this is so true. My mom took us every year, and every visiting Indian relative has to make a trip there, too. But we also loved beach vacations, and I feel like we took one every year. Once they moved to north Carolina they went to Myrtle Beach all the time. Generalizations are not terribly helpful. |

No way! The water in Goa is like a warm bath—amazing. |

| Also, re: OBX... at least my parents wanted to be in a more populated beach area (like Myrtle Beach) and stay in a nice hotel, vs the houses and sparser commercial areas on OBX. Tbh it often doesn't feel that safe to be a brown person in an area like that. |

+1 I don't understand why you would want to go to the same beach every summer. It's not as if your extended family lives there? This is not our vibe. Sri Lanka, Maldives, Goa, Pondicherry, Caribbean, Latin American resort hotels, I can understand. Why Cape Cod or OBX? |

My parents once saw some nude Westerners at a beach in Goa and were so scandalized they never took us there. |

Some parts of Cape Cod attract very wealthy people. Some parts are more middle class. Might surprise you, but some very wealthy people goto Fenwick Island every year. |

Couple Indian families I knew spent most of their vacations going back to India to visit family. These were mostly middle class People. I imagine flying a family of four or five to India every year eats up most of your vacation budget.
