To anyone who says they have difficulty living near, interacting/working with, etc. Indians: replace all instances of the word "Indian" with "Jew" and all appropriate derivations thereof, replace "curry" with "cholent" or "borsch" or any other applicable foreign-smelling food, and replace "mosque" or "Hindu temple"/"Indian cultural center" with "synagogue" and you'll pretty much see what it's like.
If you have to ask "Am I really being racist" or preface your statements with "I'm not racist, but X" then you're racist or making a racist statement.
I'll echo the +1 sentiments.
Yikes, folks, did you ever hear of Chinatown or Little Italy, or dozens of other sections like them over our history?

I totally disagree with this statement.
As I said earlier, I wouldn't be posting any of this if it weren't for the original poster. It's not like I would START a post saying how I feel about AI's. If I did that, then you could call me a racist, but I didn't.
And besides, racism can go both ways, you know. Don't for a minute believe that AI's consider themselves 'the huddled masses, yearning to breathe free'. No, they consider themselves better than Americans. Let me tell you something, if a group of people is here for the economic opportunities they don't have in their own country, they should show just a little more respect!

hell, I'm not that old and even when I was growing up, many churches were the designated the "Italian" one, "Irish" one, "Polish" one. When my brother was enrolled in the "Slovak" Catholic School, one of the priests asked "How did they let an Irish kid in here?"

This logic is trully astounding. So because you didn't start the thread what you said can't be construed as racist. Had you started the thread then you would have been racist.
I'm pretty sure if we look up the definition of being a racist there is no mention you have to be the first one to bring up the topic in discussion.
Sounds like a few bad apples are giving the entire basket a bad name. What is even sadder, to me, is when Indians point to other Indians and turn up their nose! I personally think, do your best and mind your own business. If you end up with a racist neighbor or co-worker, that is a most unfortunate nuisance, that is all. But what is the guarantee that a neighbor of different race will not be annoying in some other way?
I live in West Windsor, NJ (the town referenced by the OP), and you're wrong on all accounts... opinions or not.
For starters, the Indians living in West Windsor are not saving money to go back home. In my complex, we have dozens of Indians, and these houses range from $1.2mm to $2.1mm (and I'm sure the OPs are close to this range if he/she lives in WW as well). That's not how people who come here to make money with the intent to go home live.
I don't know much about Indians in other lower class towns, but those who live in WW are very American. Many of my Indian neighbors belong to the same country club as I and play golf better than some us Americans.
Other than their music and god awful movies, I really have no problem with them.
Haha Yes the music and movies suck....I dont understand Hindi but the acting sucks. Most of these "actors" are in the industry because of their family connections. However, Freida Pinto is a breathe of fresh air because she may have genuine talent and has not connections to the industry.

Yup, craziest logic I've seen here in a while. "Hey, Hitler started the whole Nazi thing, not me -- but now that it's started, count me in!"

Yes, that is exactly right.
Don't tell me you have never thought badly about anyone or anything, please.
I guess all Africans commit crime and all latinos are illegal. Stupid right?
You're right, but unfortunately some people (Indians or Whites) think so
I've faced some issueswith people because I'm Latino But personally I don't care.
In one job interview the interviewer (who was Indian) was really rude, he even asked me if I was here Legally and If I really had a degree Stupid isn't it? (Duh! - This is not my first International experience! )
Obviously I did my best in that interview with all people involved (got the position) and at the end I said, you know what, I'm not gonna take the job, because I don't work with Racist people like that fellow who made some really racist comments about me and I just left
Unfortunately, one of the things I've seen is that a lot of Indians lie on their resumes and cheat, I've seen a lot of Junior level people (with a Huge ego - they look themselves like they're a kind of genius - be humble people!!!) everywhere I work, the only thing I do, is just do my best and not do the same Soon or later things will fall apart
