Agree that Indians with diverse friends do a lot better. However, it can be tough for Indians to break into white circles. In Toronto despite the diversity there is a strong WASP/ethnic social divide.
A key reason I see brown guys struggle is the give off the “ethnic immigrant” vibe in their body language, mannerisms and verbal diction. This is true even for guys born here who grew up to in ethnic enclaves and never had the benefit of WASP friends to socially “mainstream” themselves. WASPs don’t want to associate socially with ethnics whom they implicitly see as immigrant/low value. This might take a generation or two change, but continued mass immigration makes it easy for minorities to simply retreat into the comfort of their enclaves when mainline multi-generational white Canadians are socially distant.
