<p>i just came across this thread. i too am an indian, but i live in a place that has me disconnected from the indian community. Can anyone answer this question.</p>
<p>WHERE ARE THE HOT INDIAN GIRLS??- my brother goes to UT which is indian central but he says there arent many. if they are not in the biggest indian hub in the state then where the hell are they. one of my friends claimed they must be up in the northeast. can anyone confirm it?</p>
<p>PDadhich, hahha Chicago is where its at! lol</p>
<p>Minnesota has like no Indian girls.</p>
<p>I just watched Slumdog Millionaire yesterday. I actually liked it. I thought it’d be worse than it turned out to be. It wasn’t amazing, though.</p>
<p>Oh and Akshay Kumar is awesome!</p>
<p>woohoo i’m dating a hot indian girl, but i’m not indian. There’s a pretty big indian population here in suburban Detroit.</p>
<p>wow this post is still going</p>
<p>Half Konkani here!!!</p>
<p>Who…uh…tried bhangra for the first time this summer and loved it. </p>
<p>Does that count?</p>
<p>ooh I’m Gujarati!</p>
<p>to the people that were dissing Indian culture, I find it hilarious that you were using Bollywood as your only example. If there’s one thing I could never ever like about Indian culture it’s the way Bollywood portrays life and brainwashes people into thinking that’s what they’d like to live like. The disparity between the people living in tents on the roads and the actors who get paid millions to lipsynch and dance is disgusting. I just think Bollywood has made the Indian culture seem very shallow, when there’s tons of other awesome stuff about it that no one bothers to learn about.</p>
<p>I used to be very against acting Indian when I was in elementary and middle school and didn’t like associating with other Indians, but I’ve grown to be much more comfortable with myself and my culture. I love being able to speak another language, and most people I know actually think Indians are cool. But the only other Indians that go to my school are Punjabi fobs (no offense, but really) who don’t associate with any other people and just talk to each other in Punjabi. That bugs me regardless of peoples’ race, I even hate it when Viets etc don’t associate with anyone but their own kind.</p>
<p>As for my parents… well they’re pretty typical Indian. 
Not in the whole cultural/religious way, but they’re just hung up on me being an engineer. My dad stopped talking to me when I got a boyfriend, and still tries to convince me against being an English major everyday. It gets kind of tiring. :P</p>
<p>^Haha, you should have seen the look on my parent’s faces when I told them that I did not want to be an engineer, it was absolutely priceless =)</p>
<p>so… i’m an indian classical dancer, i “speak” my indian language{to a point that people understand what i want to say} and i’m sad to admit that i do sometimes turn on bollywood music for fun…
</p>
<p>however, i am not quite so crazy about india as my parents are. my mom and i went to my aunt’s house. and one of my cousins who was raised in india came over. and my mom was so disappointed b/c the cousin wore capris(OMG its a scandal) and leggings and stuff. and never once touched a salwar. and my mom didn’t really like her,even though the girl’s studying electrical engineering at JHU!</p>
<p>i guess i’m a very indian indian, even though i tried so hard not to be.</p>

<p>I may be a hypocrite in making this post, but why do you insist on making useless posts such as the above one? Every time I log on and go into High School Life and look down “last post”, it’s always sprinkled with your name. Remember, quality not quantity.</p>
<p>Also, to make this post worthwhile, I’m Indian, but unlike the OP, I don’t feel the need to proclaim that I’m such. I look down upon those kind of people, in fact.</p>
<p>hey hey hey…theres no problem in 'proclaiming" youself as an Indian, that should a procliamation of pride. Maybe im different from you guys because I appreciate the culture differently. Im literally the ONLY Indian girl in my 99.9 % white town and school - and thats not a bad thing at all. I LOVE my friends no matter who they are. But there are somethings that only Indian ppl can get, like understanding the strictness at home and like why you have to wake up at 3 am to talk to your BF because you cant let ur parents know you’re dating. Thats why I always value my time spent with other indians because they can relate and just saying that doesnt prove im racist, because im not and thats just that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um none of those things are exclusive to Indians. Why do you feel the need to proclaim your race? Were all human and I don’t see how race should affect anything in your life other then traditions.</p>
<p>Foreman u gotta a problem with me… look buddy yesterday u talked back and i don’t know if u have some kind of personality disorder but i’d lay it off. it’s a free world and i can post all i want so get over it</p>
<p>^ repeated</p>
<p>lol, as far as i know no other race is as ashamed of “proclaiming” themselves as much as indians. it’s kind of lame.</p>
<p>^i can’t really blame them. some of the stuff my parents do just make me cringe in my sleep.</p>
<p>the thing that annoys me is how no one counts indians as asians, even though we are. a lot of my oriental friends joke around and say indians aren’t the right kind of asians(grrr.) :P</p>
<p>I’m not ashamed to proclaim, I don’t feel the need to proclaim. Being Indian doesn’t make us any more special than being white, black, hispanic, whatever. I find the need to not express myself by my race, I choose to do it by my personality and that’s how everyone should be I believe.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nah, I just got a mad crush on you. :)</p>
<p>nothin wrong with a lil bit of pride though</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess so</p>
<p>I cringe whenever I hear (-blank-) pride…</p>
