Why do people from other countries hate Indians so much?

I have lots of Filipino fiends. They think that Indians people are very dirty. All age group males are like to see the naked body of Filipino girls. One tourist guide said that she don’t like to be a guide of Indian people for that reason. They also think that Indians are looking for only sex whenever they traveled to Philippines. When Indian people chat in social media, they directly ask only sex related things. This is really shameful for all of us..

为什么其他国家的人如此憎恨印度人？

我认识很多菲律宾人，他们认为印度人很肮脏。所有年龄段的男性都喜欢看菲律宾女孩的裸体。一位导游说，出于这个原因，她不喜欢当印度人的导游。他们还认为，印度人去菲律宾旅游时，只会寻找性生活。当印度人在社交媒体上聊天时，他们只会直接问与性有关的问题。这对我们所有人来说都是可耻的。

What is that you don’t like about Indians in US?

There are few things which I have observed during my 7 years (and counting) of stay in US:

Disrespecting fellow countrymen: Indians in US carry a sense of smugness and self complacency. You worked hard or were exceptionally lucky to be at such good position but it doesn’t give you right to demean other Indians or other people. They continue to look their fellow countrymen with rude stares in most condescending manner.

在美国，你不喜欢印度人的哪些地方？

我在美国待了7年（仍然在美国）里，我观察到了一些事情：

不尊重同胞：在美国的印度人自视甚高且自鸣得意。你工作很努力，或者是特别幸运，能得到这样好的职位，但这并不意味着你有权利贬低其他印度人或其他人。他们继续以最居高临下的态度用粗鲁的目光看他们的同胞。

Attitude of Indian Americans: I am referring to Indians who came to US in late 80’s or early 90s and are now American citizens . Most have attitude to look down on fresh immigrants as people of lower caste or stature. Some of them have strong anti immigration sentiments as they think desi people might bring more competition. They forget that they were in the same boat 25 or 30 years back and should show some compassion or at least basic human respect towards the new immigrants. Based on personal experience, I remember one instance when we (me and my friend ) were waiting for bus and the bus stop was not sheltered. The temperature was -10 degree Celsius (14 F) and suddenly a random Indian who came here to drop his son started conversation with us. Then we got the notification that bus is delayed by 1 hour. That person said “goodbye” as he was feeling cold and went back to his car. He kept looking back at us while we waited outside for the bus. Finally, a group of Americans called us to join them in their car.

Amway Friendship: In a fast pace place like US, it feels good to strike conversation with random desi people. However, in most cases it ends up becoming an Amway offer or some other scheme they want to sell you. You feel sad that all that compassion and friendliness was just meant for a business proposal. That’s one reason why Indians are wary of Indians who are exceptionally friendly and polite.

印度裔美国人的态度：我指的是上个世纪80年代末或90年代初来到美国，现在是美国公民的印度人。大多数人都有着看不起新移民的态度，认为他们是种姓或地位较低的人。他们中的一些人有强烈的反移民情绪，因为他们认为印度人可能会带来更多的竞争。他们忘记了25年或30年前他们也在同一条船上，应该对新移民表现出一些同情或至少表现出基本的人类尊重。根据我个人的经验，我记得有一次我们（我和我的朋友）在等公共汽车，公共汽车站没有遮蔽物。当时的温度是-10摄氏度（14华氏度），突然，一个来送儿子的印度人开始和我们聊天。然后我们收到通知，公共汽车晚点一小时。那个人说了声“再见”，因为他觉得很冷，然后回到自己的车上。我们在外面等公共汽车时，他不停地回头看我们。最后，是一群美国人叫我们上他们的车。

安利友谊：在美国这样一个节奏很快的地方，随便找个印度人聊聊天的感觉很好。然而，在大多数情况下，它最终会变成安利的优惠或他们想卖给你的其他方案。对此你会感到难过，因为所有的同情和友好都只是为了一个商业提案。这就是印度人对那些异常友好和礼貌的印度人持谨慎态度的原因之一。

Lack of basic etiquette: Even after spending years in US many Indians find it offensive to say sorry or thank you. If someone holds door for you, just say small thanks and also reciprocate it later by holding the door if someone is just behind you.

State based divide : We as Indians stand divided in India among states and our prejudices. During my hostel life in india I saw enough of this Delhi, UP, Punjabi, Bihar, Marathi, Telugu and Tamil divide. However, all of us are just Indians when we leave India but a significant minority still continue this state divide in US.

Ignoring Cultural and Linguistic sensitivities: This is still practiced by significant number of Indian people although it wanes slowly with time. In a group try to discuss in a language that’s common among all the people. If you are in group of 10, don’t switch to your native language because remaining 8 people won’t understand what you are talking about.

Personal hygiene: Americans are very particular and judgemental about personal hygiene. Taking shower daily, regular laundry and an antiperspirant is all that’s needed.

Inquiring about Inmigration status: You have met a new desi few hours back but they suddenly start discussing about you personal life and immigration status. Are you green card holder/ H-1B, how much you earn. All these are personal matters and should not be discussed unless you are really good friend and the other person has sought your recommendation.

缺乏基本礼仪：即使在美国呆了多年，许多印度人也觉得说“对不起”或“谢谢”很冒犯。若有人帮你们开门，只需轻轻地说一声感谢，如果有人在你后面，也可以为他扶一下门。

基于邦与邦之间的分歧：作为印度人，在印度的我们因不同的邦和偏见而存在分歧。在印度的旅居生活中，我看够了德里、北方邦、旁遮普、比哈尔邦、马拉地语、泰卢固语和泰米尔语之间的分歧。然而，当我们离开印度时，我们所有人都只是印度人，但在美国，仍有相当多的少数人继续这种因邦而带来的分歧。

忽视文化和语言的敏感性:尽管随着时间的推移，这种做法会慢慢减少，但仍有相当多的印度人会这样做。在一个小组中，试着用一种所有人都通用的语言来讨论。如果你和10个人在一起，不要切换到你的母语，因为剩下的8个人听不懂你在说什么。

个人卫生：美国人对个人卫生非常挑剔，且以貌取人、每天淋浴，定期洗衣服和止汗剂是必须的。

询问移民身份：几个小时前你遇到了一个新碰到的印度人，但他们突然开始讨论你的个人生活和移民身份。你是绿卡持有者/获得H-1B签证吗？你赚了多少钱；所有这些都是个人事务，除非你是真正的好朋友，并且对方已经征求你的同意，否则不应该讨论这些事情。
