Really disappointed in the hate Indians get in the US. They work hard, get good jobs and our food is flavorful too. Can we get an indian appreciation month?

OP - Every ethnicity that has immigrated to the US has received the "hate", Indians are no different. When masses of Germans arrived in the 1850-1900 timeframe, they were called all sorts of derogatory names, etc. When the Irish surge of immigration occurred, there was mass discrimination with many businesses posting signs NINA signs (no Irish need apply). When the Italians migrated, they were considered dirty and called derogatory names. The Mexicans were called lazy, the Puerto Ricans have been marginalized, etc., etc.. Pretty much any new group has received negative reception, but eventually becomes accepted. Indians don't get an appreciation month, just like the Irish, the Mexicans, the you-name-it. Why? Because we are all Americans now.

Yes! I love how the country is changing so quickly! My grandfather had a shared cultural tradition in a high-trust society. He knew his neighbors and didn't have to compete for low wages. Well not me! Bring on more foreigners and fast!

Mark - it’s also foolish to enslave a whole race based on the color and then continue to discriminate against them. By claiming stuff like equality is a common denominator in the US

Your food can taste good but oh goodness the smell of the curry can be absolutely appalling. I lived in an apartment and it wafted through the crevices and crannies because they decided it was ok to cook curry and I had to smell it every stinking day

It is strong smell. I live in a townhouse and it smells in my home all the time. My neighborhood is 90 percent India families. When you drive in the community, the smell overwhelms you.

Looking for a single family home now in a more mixture of cultures.

MC1 I appreciate what you are saying but shouldn’t we have learned from the past? Discrimination based on ethnicity is never really a good idea

SE1-I agree

I have a friend who moved to Kenya from the US. Took her a year to get used to everyone smelling like eggs so there’s that. People from different places smell like different things.
