like nobody told the Indian people that the suburbs are the most racist part of this society, except they’ll never just come out and say it out loud, since OVERT racism is associated with poor white people, and covert racism is much “classier”

As far as overt interpersonal racism goes, I think this is also pretty true. Lots of Indian people I’ve met straight up just do not like Black people.

I went to a high school with a large Indian population, and a relationship between an Indian girl and a white dude was gonna piss her parents off, a relationship between an Indian girl and a Black dude was simply not happening. I never saw it. Not once, in my school of 4,000 students.

There’s a paper called Curry as Code, great read, about the racialization of food and “curry smell” as shorthand for the stereotypic indian as seen by online communities: the desexualized unhygienic male h1b IT professional plagued by a permanent smell of “curry”.
