[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people think they have diverse groups of friends but in reality they don’t. We live in a mostly Indian community and I’m not Indian. Would I like to be friends with them? Sure but it’s not worth the effort when they clearly would rather stay with their own race. People are not open to having other types of friends unless they HAVE to. If there were only a few Indian families in our community then I’m sure the other people would make an effort to include them but I can’t say the same when it’s reversed. [/quote]

You will never be their friend. Ever. They only socialize with other Indians and even then discriminate.[/quote]

Op here. I have noticed this but I can be friends with Bengali women! My husband is Bangladeshi and I do have Bengali women friends and I didn’t meet them through him. Since there are a lot of Indians that immigrant here I think they don’t have to put a lot of effort into making friends outside of their caste / state etc etc. even in my community they don’t all speak to each other. I thought it was South Indian vs North Indian but that’s not always the case. Even through all of this I don’t care too much because I don’t have a lot in common with them. They are polite to me and we do chat from time to time. It could be worse. I will say I have had Indian friends in other places we have lived but there wasn’t a large Indian community so they were more open to trying. Also I have friends who are south Asian and divorced. I no longer live in those cities but they were really sweet :-) environment is everything .
