nicki_love: I am a Trinidadian girl of Indian descent.. in our country there are still very strict Indian families that prefer their daughters to marry within the same ethinicity.. however, as far as liberalisation goes, most Indian girls who are not living in their parents home or who are living outside of India, are given more freedom by their parents to date whomever they chose.. of course, if their family is racial, it is usually NOT against Europeans..
So true its usually not the Europeans that they are rascist against here - its the blacks. However the times are a changing I see a lot of Indian and black couples here now, within my own family I have nephews, a niece that are half Indian and half black and in-laws that are Indian. Personally I have no problems marrying or dating any race once I found the person attractive. Change is good.

Some say it's easier for an Indian man to marry outside the race but after what I experienced sixteen years ago I don't think I would want to try that again, but I support anyone who wants to give it a try.------ This thread is Archived ------
MrInteresting: From the Indian culture perspective?
I ask, since there is an Indian girl, very nice, very smiley, and a few people who have seen her around me, she works in her family business, have admitted that it is obvious, from her body language, that she has a thing for me.
However, I have never thought about going out with, or asking an Indian girl out, primarily due to the fact that I always thought that their family would give them grief about not being with someone of their own culture.
Am I wrong?

You're not completely wrong but I think if you find her interesting and don’t ask her out then you’d be wrong. You’d be missing out on the opportunity to meet someone that could be very interesting and someone who might help you change your perception of Indian families and their customs; I’m also sure their customs differ demanding on where their roots are in India.
The times are changing and her family like many others may be emancipated and not mind it at all.
Not to mention some Indian families still adhere to old customs even when living in other countries in Europe, America or elsewhere. In 2009 in Canada a young 22 year old Indian (Sikh) woman was killed by her father in law because she was thinking of divorcing her husband which was a fixed and forced marriage and this for another man. The father in law saw this as disrespect for the family and stabbed her to death. It’s known as a cultural honour murder. He was arrested just a few days ago based on new information acquired by the police.

I guess your last paragraph sort of captures what I mean. Now, I dare say that was an extreme reaction, and not typical, however, I still get the sense that the mother and father of this girl would not be happy about it. I rarely see a fella with an Indian g/f, so there must be a reason for this. That said, I have seen a few Indian guys with European g/f's, so perhaps the culture sees it as less of a thing for their son's, and more of a thing for their daughter.
Maybe I should just give it a punt.
Nothing to lose, save for the fact that she works in the shop I go into all the time, and if it didn't go well when I asked, I would feel a compulsion not to go in, again!!

oh I dont know - Give it a go and see what happens - tell her you have two tickets to a theatre or something, and thought of her - if she says no, no harm done and you can still go into the shop and be friends :)
nothing ventured nothing gained!!

It's become quite common here in South Africa... I think if the parents do have an issue with it, it is usually related to their religion rather than a colour issue. I personally think some Indian girls are exquisitely beautiful and sweet natured, so can see how guys would find them attractive... It's definitely worth a try!
