Indian/ Black Relations

This message has been deleted by an administrator

If an Indian girl brought a black guy home 90% of the time the parents would have a serious problem (I've been to a Indian/black wedding and I've felt the tension in the air)... I think Indians are more open minded to their children having a white partner than a black one.


"that would seem weird since there seems like there might be a good deal of dark-skin people in India as well as there being a good amount of Indians living in Africa."

Just because people have similar skin tones doesn't mean they can happily side-by-side. For centuries white people have hated other white people because of silly things like accents, nationality and belief systems (just look at Northern Ireland - they're blowing eachother up because one version of Christianity is slightly different to the other).

I think your very wrong with your prediction of 90%. I think trinidad is about 20% mixed.

although there have been some mixture, historically there's been a lot of tension between the black and indian populations in the carribean and africa... for example, in uganda once blacks got into power indians were kicked out of the country.... the film 'mississipi masala' explores this.

I am Sikh and dating a mixed raced guy (Indian and Jamican) for four years and my parents have disowned me. What a life.

Coming from someone who recently went to Trinidad and is from a black Trinidadian family, oh yes, there is much tension. But, I tend to think that my generation is a bit better about getting hung up over these differences.

I am of black and East Indian Descent. My family hails from the Islands. Its fairly common in Jamaica, Trinidad, and Guyana. My black family is actually faier skinned than the Indian side. So, I'm not sure why color would be an issue for not marrying. I think its a culture thing.

You are so Correct my Bro's Auntie is Half-Indian, and Black/White Mixture.
