[quote=Anonymous]I am first generation; DH grew up in India (but has been in the United States for about 15 years). None of his friends or mine have made racist comments about black people in our presence. Every group has its racists, though - a guy I went on one date with before I met DH made such a comment. I called him out on it and obviously never spoke to him again. If I were at the dinner party you attended I would have said something immediately and wouldn't have hung out with them again. It's too much to go into here, but look into the model minority myth. Historically, Indians and black people have been pitted against each other in the United States. (I especially recommend The Karma of Brown Folk by Vijay Prashad) [/quote]
