[quote=Anonymous]I was born in India, bred in America and based on my experiences just about every post here has an element of truth (we're dealing with 1.2 billion people, after all):

- Indians do, generally, feel superior to others -- this is growing with India's economic growth and the phenomenal success of the Indian diaspora (which obviously tended toward the cream in the 60's,70's, less so with immigrants sponsored by family members).

- India is a horrible place to visit -- filthy, classist, sexist, no sense of law and order. You WILL get sick when you visit.

- India was civilized and cultured when Europe was in the dark ages; incredibly rich poetry, literature, art, textiles, etc.

- Indians are status/wealth obsessed -- Laxshmi is the goddess of wealth and worldly success is worshipped and a sign of divine reward; monotheistic religions tend to focus more on the afterlife (other than Judaism).

- Indians do tend to look down on white women who've married Indian men; they're seen as not being good enough to have gotten a white man (colonial brainwashing/insecurity showing up).

- Indians are incredibly hospitable and generous with guests and family and are appalled by what they see as the lack of family bonding and hospitality in America.

- Some white people feel uncomfortable when brown people are confident.
