Well, some of it is prejudice, but you do have to bear in mind a lot of people only really know about India through what they are exposed to in the course of their education, and through the media.  I couldn't tell you for sure how it is in India, but at least in the United States, educational materials tend to have a historical bent to them (so we get a much more detailed picture of India's past than we really do its present), and the media is far more likely to report problems around the world than it is to report all the good things going on.\n\nSo, the impression that filters through to many people is one of an overpopulated India where people don't have decent homes, enough food, clean water, or adequate clothes.  We see mostly the parts that are underdeveloped, that are impoverished and where the people are suffering.\n\nIs that a fair and accurate impression of India?  Of course not, and Indians should be angry their country is largely portrayed that way... but you do have to remember a lot of the ignorance of other people is just that.  It's ignorance, and let's face it, not knowing something isn't enough to understand you don't know it.  For all they know, that's an accurate portrayal of your country and they've been apprised of the salient facts.\n\nUnfortunately, the most consolation I can genuinely offer is to say India's not the only country which has such problems.  Just about every country out there becomes more and more misunderstood the more distantly its related to another country.  Even the United States has that problem.

You sound like Mowgli in The Jungle book! Funny, I think black people, Asians, Indians and Hispanics are so much prettier and exotic-looking.

I can list some stereotypes of French people:\n\nThey smell\nThey don't shave their underarms\nThey're rude/snobby\nThey hate americans\n\nThe truth is, when I went to France two years ago, most of the French people there were very nice and curteous. If you smile at them, they smile back. One man even came running out of a restaurant to bring me my jacket that I had left in there. All of the americans I came across were rude. Go figure?\n\nOh, and a lot of them don't shave their underarms. And yes, they do smell a little bit.

Interesting question....I'm half Indian and half Chinese,with an Indian father and Chinese mother.What do you think?\nIt really depends actually....I feel that Indians generally have nicer eyes,because they're big and Indians also have long eyelashes.\nBut most Chinese have nice fair skin. :)

Oh, yes; I've had the opportunity to work and do business with several people of Indian descent.  Indians are generally hard-workinig, decent, and have a sense of humor.  I love listening to that accent.

Its the same old story - Indians have a big weakness for the fairer skin. Even in India, you will be able to find incidents of bias towards people with fair skin - be it from a Caucasian foreigner or someone from the upper class society in India itself. Unfortunately the saying that "Beauty is only skin deep" does not apply too well in India - discrimination just there in the subconscious. \n\nIn fact, I was a victim of the same mentality too for quite some time - I tended to judge darker people. That was until my father put some sense into my head. I'm not that ashamed of having a darker skin tone anymore myself.

Well, there is the stereotype that indians are nerdy and always studying. Also the fact that you see whole families going to grad schools probably makes the other people insecure. They might also feel resentment as the Indian kids are taking up spots their own kids might have had. Indians place a lot of emphasis on education and excelling in education, and this might make the average joe uncomfortable because they don't see education as the make all and break all.

I'm going to guess that you are refering to Indians from India because you mentioned Europeans. If you are refering to Indians from India I'd say they are treated poorly because of the unstable conditions between our culture and theirs. Also because of the media. We never really see people from the middle eastern type of countries doing anything but rioting and killing, so because so many white people are close minded and ignorant they become intollerant of Indian culture simply because it's convienent for them.

Indians are self loathing racists. They absolutely admire and love their white colonial masters. Wish they could be white so they hate black skin and think that the only people that matter are fair. Its pathetic.

I do believe racism is still very evident in the u.s. People may not just come out and say it, but you can tell by actions and expressions. I don't know why people hate indians. People tend to fear things and people and cultures they don't understand, therefor causing them to hate than take the time to understand and embrace. Stereotypes tend to take a hold of everyone.
