<p>Just wondering, in all of your schools do you have a big indian population? Do you hang out with other indians?</p>
<p>In my school there are quite a few indians, all of us are friends but we arent like we only are friends with other indians.</p>
<p>in the phoenix metro area, there are only 11,000 or so Indians to 3 mil total, but it feels like a lot more because it consists of several massive webs where everyone knows a lot of people, who themselves know a lot of other people, and so on. My school has one of the largest concentration of Indians/South Asians- at least 30-50 out of 2800 students, but there may be more I don’t know.</p>
<p>I personally have 2 sets of friends- Indians and non Indians. Its not that the other Indians dont have lots of other friends, its just that they are mostly 1-3 years younger than me (1987 must not have been a very popular year for desis to have kids), so their friends are different from mine.</p>
<p>there are like NO other indians where i live…its an extremely white populated area…i sometimes consider myself white, its funny…kinda like an oreo.</p>
<p>To shoo_shakin,
My thread title meant that every desi should come, not all the white people or other racial group. Sorry for the ambiguity.</p>
<p>bumpish…</p>
<p>one more time…</p>
<p>“kinda like an oreo.”</p>
<p>lol my relatives think I am soo white-washed! (But I’m NOT!!) They call me “coconut!” =p</p>
<p>I’m not indian (sorry) but I have always been fascinated by your culture hehe 
my mom’s from malaysia so I got a lot of cultural exposure. :P</p>

I can speak Malayalam fluently, which seems to surprise many people who don’t expect to hear an American kid speak their language (which, I agree, is a rarity). I didn’t even notice it was cool to be able to switch from Malayalam to English easily until people started wondering how I did it.</p>
<p>Indian food every day is great :D</p>
<p>White represent!..i think they don’t know what zhindabaad means…who agrees?</p>
<p>fellow ABCD joining the board…gujarat all the way! 10 desis at my school, best friends w/one…pretty close w/most of others
completely in touch w/culture</p>
<p>i love all these desi threads on every forum…good showing…!!!..i’m from u.p…moved to the u.s 3 years ago…go to a small public school with only 3 other indians in my grade…friends with all three…i’m really proud of my group of friends though…indian…chinese…bangladeshi…nigerian…a lot of representation…</p>
<p>The sad thing at my school is that there are so many indian guys but very few indians girls. Well atleast a few of the indians girls that are at my school are kinda hot. What bout you other guys out there?</p>
<p>Hey I am from California. a junior in highschool and want to do medicine sometime in the future. Came to US in 8th grade from AP(Andhra Pradesh). </p>
<p>There aren’t many indian girls in my school but I know a lot from my local temple.</p>
<p>I go to an all boys school, you guys have no right to complain</p>
<p>we have no hot indian girls. we have 2 indian girls tho but they’re not hot. they’re busy taking 9 aps.</p>
<p>lol why is there such a stereotype of the indian kids in your grades…i think its kinda amusing actually, like wrathofgod64 said…“they’re busy taking 9 aps”
because even though i do take a lot of aps and hard classes…i still always find time for partying and concerts and just hanging out…so just to inform you, we’re all NOT like that! lol</p>
