[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly most of the “Desis” I see abroad are horribly insecure, travel in huge groups, and stick out like a sore thumb. This thread only serves to confirm that impression. [/quote]

They like to travel with family, what’s wrong with that?    Hopefully the latest generation can teach the older ones how to tip.   Don’t brag about being wealthy and then tip 10%.  [/quote]

Yes, I have heard Indians who own restaurants in the USA say the exact same, and that they prefer non Indian patrons b/c they actually tip properly. [/quote]

It comes from never going out. I swear my parents have sat down at a restaurant and eaten out like a dozen times in their 34 year marriage.[/quote]

That is not the norm unless you are from semi rural or rural areas. I grew up in India and we were UMC, but went to proper sit down restaurants once a month atleast. We would get carry outs or eat at casual joints atleast once a week. 
You do realize that 20 % tipping is not I’m the norm in most countries in the works. The low tipping used to be an issue in Desis a generation ago. We too very generously and so does everyone we know. [/quote]

Curious: how old are you and what year did your parents come to the U.S.?[/quote]
