Why do you hate Indian people? I live in a very Indian community. The schools are at least 40% South Asian; my neighborhood of 200+ houses is 100%. I have only ever seen 2 white and 3 chinese families here. I can safely say we are a well off neighborhood, considering all of the families make over $100,000 a year, and then half of those families make $150,000+. The schools are fine, us being the bulk of the academic competition. Despite being purely non-white, our neighborhood is spotless and one of the best. Houses are kept clean, yards are never overgrown, and we all decorate our landscape with lights to celebrate the festivals. In fact, most of the crimes are white/blacks coming from other neighborhoods. For example, two white men in their early 20's come knocking on our door because our house is due for "window cleaning", while taking a good long long peek around; obviously they aren't here to window clean.



None of the stereotypes apply either. We don't smell like burnt curry (outside of the house), we aren't as rude as you say, and we don't cause any trouble. I would say we are one of the kinder communities. We organize parties at restaurants, have a "neighborhood watch", and even go to a local bazaar that sells movie tickets to us for $3 off the cinema price (they get a special deal online).



I clearly have more experience with Indian people than any of you considering I am Indian, I live in an Indian neighborhood, and I have been to India. I have never met someone that smelled so badly I had to run away, never met someone who was snobby and rude... 2nd generation Indians have assimilated very well and are mostly liberal.



So yes, it is more than possible for a non-white community to be wealthy and clean. I think some of you are delusional. White people have never had a perfect reputation. My mother used to be prejudiced and would say that white women were cash cows, only interested in money and sex but valued money over sex.



Lately my posts have finally been going through, so I hope this one manages to get answers. What is it with the unwarranted hate toward Indian people on this website? There are so many threads dedicated to bashing us, simply for our smell.I live in a very Indian community. The schools are at least 40% South Asian; my neighborhood of 200+ houses is 100%.
