It's a cultural thing.

I'm a non-Indian who married an Indian and attend all sorts of Indian events. I get stared at as if I walked in with no clothes.

It's more of a curiosity.

It can get bothersome at times where I just stare back or wave at the person just to let them know I see them too.

Doesn't the Sari interfere with the golf clubs when they are caddying?

They're disliking of black people really isn't a race thing against African Americans. It's a cultural thing. In India, lighter Indians are more accepted than darker Indians. That's just how it is over there.

Don't I know it. But I'm not going to accept it just because they have a racist culture. They will treat me with respect.

Any they should! They just don't know any better. So we have to make sure we set them straight, rather than making a big deal out of it.

hold out a large mirror and walk slowly towards them, they will have to retreat or they will explode in spectacular fashion.
