The self-hatred is real.
Indian born Canadian citizen here who works for Google as Product Manager- these people even treat Canada as third grade country. Only after I joined Google - I get ‘some’ importance.
That was going to be my question too, I am an Indian born Canadian citizenship who moved here in high school, was wondering how they are treated.
And no I do not agree with the lack of diversity, Toronto especially is one of the most diverse places in the world. Idk where people get the perception of 80 or 90% of Toronto is Indians??
As a US citizen, I'm only interested in documented prospects living in the west. There is a cultural aspect I value that is only gained by living here. I also don't want Indians who never lived abroad or parents only seeking foreign citizenship for their daughters without intent of growing a loving partnership.
I've tried connecting with desi prospects and something has been missing.
Call me choosy, but I know this is what I want in a partner and will compromise on other aspects.
I grew up my entire life abroad, though not in the US, and I just met someone who grow up most of her life in India and although we are not fully aligned in our backgrounds, our underlying values align more than it ever did with anyone else and we did develop a loving partnership. There are certainly exceptions and I think it’s important to be open minded.

I think american borns should separate themselves quietly from associating with India. Have your own platform, dating sites and everything else. The criteria is just so confusing and at times, degrading. It will just make life easier for all.
I agree with M1 , on certain terms I feel I'm differentiated for not being an ABD. My thought process could be entirely different and I have gotten well in the past with ABDs(reason why it did not work out was something else and it had got nothing to do to where each other came from).
I don't like it when someone says you moved here for the job so you wouldn't get the culture. I mean I understand there would be a certain gap and differences but hey isn't that what we keep aside and still fall for someone , respect them for their personality irrespective of the background. Travelling, meeting/working with people from diverse backgrounds teaches a lot, I hope folks gets that.
Please do not generalise, there are singles who are not looking for the ABDs citizenship or whatsoever, if we are compatible nothing else matters.
Personally, I'm nobody to judge people's partner preferences. My family has moved countries enough number of times for me to have no roots anywhere lol. This was just a funny observation
