Why is there less white cock worship among Indian women?

I feel like Indian Americans/British Indians adhere to their native culture far more than Asians do. The dandias and garbas(big traditional dance events) that proliferated in the Bay Area weren't just populated by FOB's or first generation immigrants; I'd say that over ninety percent of the people at those events were second-generation. A lot of us really like dressing up in kurtas and saris, and a decent number are fairly religious Hindus/Muslims too. Oh, and tons of second-generation brown girls love Bollywood movies and gush over the A-list actors.

The Asian girls in the Bay actually weren't too different. A lot of them would obsess over Kpop and random Japanese singers, and most of them had a strong preference for Asian guys. Not to say that they wouldn't give a brown or white guy some love, but ninety percent of the hotter Asian girls would strictly date dudes who were Asian or half-Asian.

I feel like this gets less and less true, however, the farther you get from the South Bay. Hence the stereotype of Asian girls hating themselves and jumping on white dudes. I'm not qualified to comment on how true or untrue this is.

With Indians, however, this stays pretty constant. I have yet to meet an Indian girl who didn't like Indian guys, no matter where she's from.

White and English speaking (the latter is very important) are used as a proxy for high status foreigners in certain Asian countries. If you're a white Russian, you get none of that. Also, people in those countries have long realised that white English teachers and backpackers are generally loser arts students back home so they have not much respect for them. It's not the pre-Internet era anymore. White English speaking businessmen - now you're in business.

Yep. You don't see Asian chicks typically messing around with say Greeks or Sicilians. When people say Asian girls are into white guys, they don't mean white as in just Caucasian. They mean "white" as in guys with the Northern/Western European look. Asian chicks are really into the clean cut, Abercrombie preppy kind of look when it comes to guys as opposed to say a guido or wigger.

Just a side note, but these are the weirdest-looking Korean, Chinese and Japanese girls I've ever seen. Looks like some creepy Social Darwinist race photo lineups from the late 1800s. I've never met a single Korean girl who looks anything like that or has such a weird haircut, and the Japanese girl looks nothing like most of the women I see here everyday.

Also, a lot of Indian girls think about the big picture… when you marry an Indian, you don’t just marry him/her, you marry their whole family. They think, "if I marry a non-Indian, will he get the whole family thing"? A lot of non-Indians can’t deal with the family stuff so a lot of Indian women just stick to Indian men because it makes life easier.

Also, Asians are now marrying other Asians more according to this article (It includes Indians as Asian): For Asian-American Couples, a Tie That Binds

Quote:

Interracial marriage rates are at an all-time high in the United States, with the percentage of couples exchanging vows across the color line more than doubling over the last 30 years. But Asian-Americans are bucking that trend, increasingly choosing their soul mates from among their own expanding community.

From 2008 to 2010, the percentage of Asian-American newlyweds who were born in the United States and who married someone of a different race dipped by nearly 10 percent, according to a recent analysis of census data conducted by the Pew Research Center. Meanwhile, Asians are increasingly marrying other Asians, a separate study shows, with matches between the American-born and foreign-born jumping to 21 percent in 2008, up from 7 percent in 1980.
....
Dr. Le found that in 2010 Japanese-American men and women had the highest rates of intermarriage to whites while Vietnamese-American men and Indian women had the lowest rates.
....

Chau Le, 33, a Vietnamese-American lawyer who lives in Boston, said that by the time she received her master’s degree at Oxford University in 2004, her parents had given up hope that she would marry a Vietnamese man. It wasn’t that she was turning down Asian-American suitors; those dates simply never led to anything more serious.

Ms. Le said she was a bit wary of Asian-American men who wanted their wives to handle all the cooking, child rearing and household chores. “At some point in time, I guess I thought it was unlikely,” she said. “My dating statistics didn’t look like I would end up marrying an Asian guy.”

But somewhere along the way, Ms. Le began thinking that she needed to meet someone slightly more attuned to her cultural sensibilities. That moment might have occurred on the weekend she brought a white boyfriend home to meet her parents.

Ms. Le is a gregarious, ambitious corporate lawyer, but in her parents’ home, she said, “There’s a switch that you flip.” In their presence, she is demure. She looks down when she speaks, to demonstrate her respect for her mother and father. She pours their tea, slices their fruit and serves their meals, handing them dishes with both hands. Her white boyfriend, she said, was “weirded out” by it all.

“I didn’t like that he thought that was weird,” she said. “That’s my role in the family. As I grew older, I realized a white guy was much less likely to understand that.”

In fall 2010, she became engaged to Neil Vaishnav, an Indian-American lawyer who was born in the United States to immigrant parents, just as she was. They agreed that husbands and wives should be equal partners in the home, and they share a sense of humor that veers toward wackiness. (He encourages her out-of-tune singing and high kicks in karaoke bars.) But they also revere their family traditions of cherishing their elders.

Mr. Vaishnav, 30, knew instinctively that he should not kiss her in front of her parents or address them by their first names. “He has the same amount of respect and deference towards my family that I do,” said Ms. Le, who is planning a September wedding that is to combine Indian and Vietnamese traditions. “I didn’t have to say, ‘Oh, this is how I am in my family.’ ”

That white dude she dated must not have been very well traveled. I mean really, the things she talks about are rather elementary if you have a decent amount of social intelligence and familiarity with other cultures. I completely understand the change that she makes in her behavior as well as deference to parents and no PDA in front of them. It's not rocket science. I would not marry Ms. Le for other reasons (not knowing what she looks like), which include her being too career focused and a lawyer. LOL at the "equal partners at home" nonsense. That means Ms. Le is going to wear the pants.
