I can attest that a lot of the racial bias is actually a mental block through the example of one of my closest friends whom happens to be Indian. The guy is literally a Euro guy in his style(jackets, peacoats, polos, nice loafers, and black jeans), arrogant to an extreme(including in his extremely liberal beliefs to the point where we are arguing each other tooth and nail), hits the gym everyday(slim but way buffer than me), amateur director, and consistently bangs blonde haired Scandinavian looking or WASP sorority sluts.
But what type of Indian guy was he? Indians vary in looks tremendously. Was he this type:

Or was he this type?

I could see the first type of dude being able to get pretty much any type of girl. The 2nd type of Indian is going to struggle.
The top photo is Hritik Roshan – his skin tone is a little bit lighter than the skin tone of the average Punjabi man (I’m Punjabi, as is Sunny Leone). As for the green or blue eyes – that’s rare, but I do know people with them.
The guy in the second photo has a typical South Indian FOB engineer look. In a lot of parts of South Asia and the Middle East, it’s considered masculine for a guy to have a moustache. Somebody should tell these guys that that shit doesn’t fly in a western country.
If the 2nd guy got a buzz cut, got rid of the moustache, styled himself and sorted out his accent he would do fine.

Actually speakeasy it's better to be dark if you're Indian than light. Light skinned Indians get mistaken for Muslim/Pakistani too easily and most IRT behaviour comes from people from those parts of India because they're the poorest and most traditional. So people assocate light brown Indians with worse behaviour. Masculine looking dark Indians get some black guy cool bonus points without the negative stereotypes, fear or judgement from friends and family. Sometimes girl's visiting from countries without many (dark) Indian's actually mistake them for black, I don't know how... I see a lot more dark Indians with white girls than light even with FOB's and there are a lot of Indians here.
Deluge, you’re in Australia, right? I can’t speak for Aus but this definitely isn’t true in UK.
I’m of a Punjabi background and the only people who’ve ever mistaken me for being a Muslim or a Pakistani are Pakistanis! Apart from the religion side there’s almost no difference between a Muslim Pakistani and a Hindu or Sikh Punjabi. Until Pakistani girls started wearing hijab over the last 10 years, I couldn’t even tell the difference (just by looking) between them and Hindu/Sikh Punjabi women. In UK I’ve never had a non-South Asian person confuse me for being a Muslim.
I’ve never heard any non-Indian refer to the skin colour of Indians when talking about them. Punjabi people often tease other Punjabis with dark skin.
This might also surprise you, but to me, I never grew up associating being Indian with dark skin! Just about every South Asian in my home town was Punjabi or Pakistani, and the majority were not dark. There were a few very dark Punjabis, but they were very much seen as outliers. I only met Indians who were not Punjabi when I moved to London for college – even then most of them were Gujurati, who are not as dark as South Indians.
I’m not sure why you think North Indians are poor:

States of India have significant disparities in their average income. Bihar was by far the poorest in India, and per capita income was low in its neighboring states, along with Jammu & Kashmir, Assam, Manipur and Nagaland. The higher income states include Goa, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Kerala.
I was in Punjab earlier this year and everybody in the villages has satellite TVs and cellphones. A lot of them have cars now.

On a slightly unrelated note, I want to know how Indian guys perform online. I tried Tinder for a month once and had horrible results. I blamed it on my race and moved on to real world game.
I didn't really optimize my pictures, so it's not very clear if it was a race thing or not. I might try it again some time in future if I am convinced it's worth the effort.
A long time ago I used to use craigslist in Los Angeles and I would post an ad with no pictures stating something like a “British guy looking for a woman”. At no point did I refer to anything Indian, and there was no photo in the ad. I used to get a lot of replies from mainly white and East-Asian women. When I replied back and said thanks, but the way, I’m of Indian descent”, I would never hear again from probably 95% of them. Again no photos of me were ever shown, so it wasn’t about looks. I guess I could have blamed it on false advertising, since I never specified my ethnicity, but I did get a few replies saying something like “Sorry, I don’t date Indian men.”

Similarly if a white girl has at least 1 close girlfriend of another race (doesn't matter which) she'll definitely be open to it. These two tests are rock solid.
In my experience the same is true for east-Asian women – many of them either have a negative opinion of Indian men or don’t know anything about them. I used to date a Japanese-American woman - It turns out that her brother is dating an Indian girl and her best friend is married to a Pakistani.

With Asians though, their situation does improve with each generation but their core problems with passivity and shyness don't go away, but there's a decent improvement with the Eurasian mixes, I suspect the prevalence of these traits for Asians isn't cultural but genetic. This is more true for Chinese/Korean/Japanese guys then South East Asian's who are more alpha, hence why so many guys were saying Julien could never get away with his Tokyo behaviour in Bangkok in the RSD thread.
Interesting theory but there are problems with this. Koreans are NE Asian and very similar to Japanese in many ways. Yet i'm 100% sure Julien would have gotten his ass kicked hard in S. Korea behaving like that. He probably would have ended up getting his ass kicked at the cop shop too once they realized what he was doing.
It's not so much genetic passivity but the cultural norms. You can say the cultural norms are influenced by genetics but I dunno..that's a tough one to swallow.
I don’t agree with it being genes and I think it’s cultural – weren’t many Japanese men samurai once? Koreans still have military service and very patriotic so I doubt they would take too much shit from foreigners. Japanese men have been castrated culturally since WW2.

I grew up a skater/surfer/snowboarder (I live in SoCal). I've always been around that scene and the punk rock scene. I'm not a shy introvert (nerdyish) kind of guy.
Some call me a brown Dan Bilzerian Jr or Kumar from White Castle. because I have no filter, I play funny/asshole game, I'm beginning to get a reputation as a player, I drop red pill knowledge, not to mention I have pretty damn good looking beard.
I shoot guns, built my own AR-15, I've cultivated a fun lifestyle that shows on Instagram (SMV) girls always say "You're always doing something fun and going places).
I've always stood out, wether it was my mohawk, fancy mustache, or burly beard. I don't have an accent and I'm pretty articulate (I may downgrade my language depending on where I'm at).
I'm the entirely not stereotypical brown bro and it's WORKED.
This “nerdy Indian” stereotype is mainly a US thing. In UK Indians are heavily involved in clubbing culture and a lot of nightclubs are owned by Indians. My US born cousins are not nerdy at all. A cousin of mine owns a ranch in northern California – I went to a birthday party there and we were skeet shooting and BBQing all kinds of meat. The DJ even played some country music!
This is 10 year old song done by British Punjabi guys:
The way these guys dress is nothing out of the ordinary. When I first went to India as an adult in the 90s, I was stared at everywhere I went because I dressed so differently to the locals. When I went earlier this year nobody looked twice at me because we were dressed in similar styles – a lot ofthese guys have been picking up style tips from the internet and satellite TV.
This is how a lot of British Indian women dress when going out:
