With the exception of one lady (who was unfortunately too old for me and it wouldn't have worked out long term), I found the local girls unbelievably racist and close-minded. One of them even said "aren't there any Indian girls you know?". I also learned through friends that the local guys disliked me for "trying to steal their chicks". That's 21st century Canada for you . I spent years obsessing over what was wrong with me until I had an epiphany. It wasn't me. It was them.

Currently, I'm very happily married to a European girl and counting myself very lucky for not ending up with a boring, narrow-minded, racist Canadian woman.

PS: If anyone is offended by what I said above because they are not racist and narrow-minded, I apologize. But you see, stereotyping is unpleasant, eh? How do you think I felt for nine years?
that may have had to do with it and believe me, Indian men are not players or even stereotypes as that, more like geeky guys who can't land dates by some racists out there that want to do that

you should have gone to montreal or toronto, in both places Indian men have done well, even better than some other races

I live in Toronto and see Brown men (either Indian or Middle Eastern) with White women and Asian women nearly all the time.

Most common in my state is black and white, and there's not much of that going on outside of the inner cities

And three Koreans thrown into the bunch - two adopted and one a new addition to the family via marriage!

We live in the South. Oh - except for the branch from Iowa. Oh, and the branch from Ohio. Oh, and the branch from Philly. Oh, and then the military members who live in Korea, England, and Germany.

So there go all the stereotypes right out the window.
still no indian men involved, so no, not that progressive

Tricky question, the area that I live in is very homogenous so I don't even much racial diversity in my neighbourhood, but in my city, I'd say South Asian with White British is common pairing, at least, South Asian men with White British women (i.e Indian/Pakistani).

You see pretty much everything here in LA, and in CA as a whole.

I don't know. I would have assumed that Indian woman, white man couples would be more common than Indian man, white woman.

In the US and UK, I definitely saw more Indian/Pakistani guys with white women than vice versa... I my ex is Pakistani/Northern Indian-American and she was one of two women in her entire extended family who married a white guy, however nearly a dozen of her US-born male relatives had wives or fiances who were white.
