[Raj]

I’m an Indian living in Alabama. To the best of my knowledge, there’s no history of dislike for people based on skin colors in India. Everyone of us from India comes in different skin colors but are not biased on the color type at all. I’m not sure why a well educated, well employed person like you faced that situation, but please do not form an opinion that is negative, true people have different mentalitites irrespective of their race/ethnicity/religion, but I think there might be few other reasons for this happening. Are you physically well built (more than average) and can easily come off as an intimidating personality? The reason is not many people, be it of any race, are comfortable with people more physically stronger than themselves. Also, if I’m lost on the road and need to ask someone about directions, I’d prefer someone well shaven and normally dressed (just by intuition) or even better, a cute looking girl! Another important factor is language, I’m more used to Caucasian accent and it comes easy maybe because I see more movies which usually have a majority of white characters talking. That could be a reason, too, if you’ve a heavy accent of your own. If you feel my reasoning is out of place, I’m plain sorry that it has happened to you, but I assure you if you find the open minded guy/girl (guy preferred, Indian women are more conservative than you’d expect) of the lot and interact normally, you’ll find your inhibitions fading or even better other people’s inhibitions about you fading. To my experience we’re well networked as any immigrant population is among themselves, and news that there’s a really nice/helpful guy in the locality passes around easily.
