It is definitely a struggle finding own in country where you run into your own 5x whole life while foreign men 500 a day 365 days a year. But one point to desi men, we have seen kids of foreign wife and they are all married out to other races, so as a grandparent expect if you have kids for them a)to not be 100% desi (obvious sorry since you came from 2 desi Hindu parents not 1) b)to be every race culture religion and even skin color but what you started out with. I know many marry for love, but if you marry out of inferiority complex over your skin color (whether you’re aware of it) you will find out that in also all the situations we have seen 30 kids to various foreign women whether German Chinese British all the kids have Dad’s skin tone (adds to the confusion for the child- brown Hindu desi Dad white or other completely different heritage &upbringing Mom). You yourself would be a very different character today had you had let’s say a Hippie Catholic blue eyes mom as example (Origin of North Europeans in Youtube explains where blue eyes and yellow hair comes from). Just think it through completely – and if you don’t believe me about the kids having your skin tone you can look at famous Arun Nayar and his brother – they are born of German mom and Punjabi Dad, and they look 100% dark Punjabi.

I actually think this episode of Desi Dilemmas addresses some of the challenges of dating within-(ethnic)group. They apply to everyone, but when you're a minority, the odds are lower (even if the %s are consistent).

Dang, that’s overrepresentation by a factor of 6 (4% of Hill Hotties vs. 2/3 of 1% of the pop at large).

Did anyone notice that Number 10 on the list is also an Indian girl? Scroll to the bottom. Her name is Jamie Skipper.

She’s also a Republican which rules it out for me. Where are the desi Green (http://www.gp.org/) women??

Kannan:

I think part of the issue may be that Asian cultures are more traditional in terms of gender roles and it may be that the expectations that the Asian women feel they might have to live up to (or down to, depending on one's viewpoint), may not factor in a relationship with an American or European white man.

“Also I’ve never dated an Indian girl either, probably partly because so many of the hot ones like the two on this list are into white dudes.”

its interesting that you bring this up..We have parallels with the asian community. I’ve heard/seen that before. Hot lil Korean spinner would rather hook up with tall lanky white dude than someone from her race and its kind of common because I know a lot of my asian brothers who want to date from their race gripe and bitch about it:) Its almost like an invisible social hierarchy And the same goes for desi guys, I have a lot of friends who date white girls just because they think it brings them more social value ” Look at me FOB minority guy pulling from the majority race” However for me its never really been race, its whether I was attracted to the person or not and it so happens I have never gone brown

Interesting to note that 5 out of the top ten lookers in that list are non-whites: 3 african-americans, a burmese and an indian.

That and the remark about the "little blonde" being replaced by the indian girl tells me that this list was concocted by a politically correct multi-racial group of writers.
