Well I am a new user here, recently got my account activated and I thought why not post about this since it has been on my mind.
I am an Indian (India) guy and currently I am in a relationship with a girl who is Puerto Rican. Been with her for nearly a year now and we have been getting to know each other well and getting it on. I am Americanized, came to the US at the age of 5 and grew up in various states. I spent a significant amount of time in Florida, California, New York, New Jersey and Maryland. Currently I am in college and people always tell me that it is odd to see an Indian guy in an interracial relationship, let alone in a relationship with a Hispanic girl.
Personally I see there are many negative stereotypes about Indian men out there. There is an article saying Indian men have the smallest tools in the world, the whole belief all of us smell like curry and then the whole notion that we are going to get an arranged marriage anyways but my parents are okay with us being together.
When people find out that my girlfriend is Hispanic and that I am an Indian, they just look at us funny and say things like they didn't even know such a couple existed. Of course being in an inter-ethnic relationship I face racism as well, sometimes guys hit on my girlfriend and say why is she with some Indian who is going leave her for a wife his mom has set up.
Basically it has caught a lot of people's attention in many places I have gone to with her, EVEN IN LOS ANGELES, apparently it is rare there.
I wanna know, do you think there is anything odd about an Indian guy being in an interracial relationship?
Also I would like it if you guys fill out my poll.
