That's the politically-correct stereotype and isn't real. The reality both in the US and Canada is what you heard there. Worse in Europe. By the way this is not specific to Indians, western people have similar views on most eastern people.



That's what I tried to explain a few pages back...

Regardless, you can still find a good job and just live your life. This whole stuff is mostly only about social/personal life. If you feel you've been discriminated against professionally say in the case of a promotion, you can sue the company and would most likely win. So people usually don't dare even think about it in professional environments but they manually filter their social circles. If this is a concern the only solution is to move to places where a lot of immigrants live like Toronto or Vancouver.

In my 5 yrs stay in us I have never heard about guys being total creep to woman ,trying to follow them,making fights in public places.
The worst I heard in us about indians were unhygienic, cheap,rude,slave,curry smelling but in this 5 years never heard or even seen an Indian creep because too busy with life like visa issues.
Honestly even now I don't face any issues I have friends from different cultures, Mt hobby is reading and usually it doesn't involve much social circles.Even now people who I considered as acquaintance call me txt me from Huston so I think it depends on how you behave to people. If you are trash definitely people are going to treat you like one.
I heard in Europe also indians have a bad reputation that I agree with you ,buy can say atleast in US I have never seen a landlord who is hesitant to rent hone to Indians but in canada I saw it.

People evaluate these things in percentages. It's obviously not like every single Canadian you see on the street has carried out careful social research and has super accurate percentages on how many Indians are good or bad, but they just understand that the probability of some nationals turning out to be people who they wouldn't like is higher than some other nationals. So they adopt a general attitude towards some nationals. One can achieve partial success with breaking through that wall by consistently being good and living by the western values. In some western communities it will just never make a difference, but in more liberal ones it should at least lead to comfort.

Bro I never expected this things I heard I was surprised, honestly I you do things like what I said you can end up in jail that is harassment.
Yesterday I went to a Chinese landlord he was really happy to rent the place ,the house was really good his only demand is not to cook curry(I don't so don't have an issue) ,as I said it all depends on how you present yourself I am not going to tell you stereotype Don't exist but a large part of it can be removed by how you behave.
Seeing you in person I don't think you will have any issues .

Lol ,man the place where I am from we don't even talk loudly we pretty much mind our own business.there is no Bradder only me myself and I

This is my point at the end of the day you can only control how you behave ,you can't control how others should think of you.small consistent change can make an impact most Indians don't travel outside India.For them I suppose this posts will be a reference if the moderator don't delete it.
But I think 2nd generation immigrants don't have an issue like this because I saw a lot of mixed race friends in calgary which is rare in Houston

Yeah just don't give your children ethnic names...

If immigrants become the majority, will names like John Smith considered "ethnic"?

I can see a future where you must have at least four syllables in your name or the Child's Rights commission will have to step in so that you don't end up getting child bullied in school as he was given a minority name.

Ok when I opened the thread it was 2378 pages and now I'm posting this on page 2370.. Seems like massive cleaning exercise going on. Never seen so many comments deleted before that 8 forum pages (may be more) were reduced.

Half of those comments were mine.

Apparently, my pic of "real" Canadians triggered the moderators.

Ok I haven't been on the forum for last couple of weeks so haven't seen anything. Well in any case you wanted to "stir" things when you chose that username. So seems like you have.

Give me a summary of what happened in nice words. I commented on page 2370 and now we are already on 2368 in few minutes. Seems like I missed something massive

Immigrants will never become majority because in that case westerners will form their own neighborhoods (then the immigrant neighborhoods will go to shit, immigrants will try to move to westerner neighborhoods, same thing just lower scale). It is the same mechanism as the one formed these good countries all the easterners are trying to escape to. So I would still advise against giving your children ethnic names.

Wow yesterday with some conversations with the people of other nationalities came to know indians have a very bad reputation in calgary, I even heard that from an Indian girl who lives in my airbnb. I was really surprised because in US we are known as nerds, sw engineers and doctors,socially awkward, funny accent....Here hmm don't want to talk about it.

Thats because Indians in US don't represent the average Indian (or any Asiam minority) for that matter.

The Indians in the US for the most part are the cream of the crop of India. They were selected for unis and colleges against all other Indians, best scores, filtered with tough visa interviews, then they go thru h1b struggle, sponsorship. So the remaining people are the best India offers (which ironically the US drains). That's why the stereotype is of a successful nerd.

In Canada, the Indians they take are the Average Punjeet, so the stereotypes are different and probably way worse. Just my observation

The only thing which caught me of guard was the harassment and creep part .I agree with you we had to write a he'll lot of exams to step foot in the US.
