How many of you in here live on the west coast of the US, if so can you answer some of my questions? Alright here are my questions:
1. Do they have Indian (India) people in your area?
2. If an Indian (India) guy wanted to date or marry a Latina, how tough of a time would he have? |
I live in Cali
1, yes we do
2. Not a tough time at all |
Why does the East Coast have so much variety in interracial couples while the West Coast doesn't? I live in Los Angeles for 5 years, in my years there interracial couples were common but it was only Black guy - White girl, White guy - Black girl, White guy - Asian girl and Black or White guy with a Latina type relationships. It confuses me because it was diverse but you never saw Blacks and Asians going out you never say Asians and Hispanics going out or anything of that nature.
I have been in New England and the East Coast for about 3 years now and here is the situation in my neighborhood:
1. I have a Black American neighbor married to a Lebanese woman, they have three guys.
2. I have an Indian doctor married to an Argentinian woman (Latin).
3. I have a Korean neighbor married to an Indian (India) woman.
4. I have a Middle Eastern neighbor married to a Puerto Rican woman.
In my years out on the West Coast I noticed so much hostility when it came to interracial dating, one of my co workers had a crush on an Asian guy and everyone made fun of her for it.
Like on the East Coast nobody cares and you see such a variety. Black guy - Asian girl, Asian guy - Black girl, Middle Eastern guy - Latina, Hispanic guy - Asian girl are all common couples I have met and seen on the East Coast but on the West Coast Middle Eastern guy - Latina and Asian guy - Black girl was unheard of. Why is there so much variety in interracial couples on the East Coast? |
| yeah i know how you feel I live in NYC and i see that constantly and i am in one myself. I personally believe that there is a lot more diversity here then in California. On the east coast you literally have people from all over the world, while on the West coast the majority of foreigners tend to be From Mexico and south America. |
Do you live on the west coast or the east coast of the US? BQ: have you ever seen an Indian (India) guy - Latina girl couple before? |
| neither |
Why is there so much variety in interracial couples on the East Coast but no variety on the West Coast? On the West Coast when it comes to interracial dating it is usually:
White guy - Asian girl
Black guy - White girl
or Black or White guy - Latina.
I lived out West for 5 years and I noticed that and any couple out of the norm caught a lot of flak. I even talk to people from there and they even think that couples like Asian guy - Black girl do not exist. Here on the East Coast, living here for just two years I have seen and know people in the following relationships:
Asian guy - Latina
Black guy - Asian girl
Asian guy - Black girl
Asian guy - White girl
White guy - Black girl
Indian guy (India) - Indian girl (Native)
Indian guy (India) - Latina (my wife and I, we caught a lot of flak out west for it)
Hispanic guy - Asian girl
Middle Eastern guy - Latina (not rare at all here yet my friends out west act like it doesn't exist).
Along with the common interracial couples mentioned. Why does the East Coast have so much more variety compared to the West Coast? |
| It is actually the other way around. The west is very diverse. Here in Seattle, people of different backgrounds and races to tend to enter-mix. |
East Coast or West Coast, which part of the US do you prefer? BQ: Have you ever seen an Indian (India) guy - Latina girl couple before? |
| West Coast, and yes to the BQ |
Why to latinas on the East coast keep harrasing me an indian man to hook up? I am already in a interracial relationship with a latina girl I dont want to cheat on her but the latina girls keep chasing after me
Is it because Im Indian.
But on the west coast its different the latinas there are mostly mexicans and they look down on interracial dating including latinas the south is even worse
Im from Chelsea, Manhattan where interracial dating latina women with indian men is at epidemic levels |
| LatinA is not a race. SpanishA is not a race. EnglishA is not a race. FrenchA is not a race. GermanA is not a race. PortugueseA is not a race. GreekA is not a race. IrishA is not a race. ChineseA is not a race. Caught it? |
The Liberal East Coast or the Liberal West Coast, which is truly less racist in your opinion and experiences? I recently came back from Southern Cal and racism was in the air. My friend (White guy) used to live there and he said he had to move because his son was being harassed heavily by Hispanic and Black gang members at his school. Also my friend said that people did not take kindly to him hugging a Black woman (who was his old friend, his wife was okay with it). He now lives in New England.
My friend remarked on something, he said that the media hypes up the West Coast as being interracial dating central but here on the East Coast he says he sees all types of interracial couples that he never saw out west like Asian guy - Black girl, Indian (India) guy - Latina and Middle Eastern guy - Latina.
Anyways, that has been my narrow experience, hopefully you can offer me yours. |
| California is more racist all three ways |
Why is the West Coast so exclusive when it comes to interracial dating while the East Coast is diverse? I live in NYC and you name an interracial pairing, any, I have seen it and known it. My friends live out in LA and they get shocked when they hear of Asian guy - Black girl pairing, a Middle Eastern guy - Latina pairing and a Hispanic guy - Asian girl pairing.
Made me wonder, why does the East Coast, NYC included, have so much diversity in interracial couples while the West Coast has little to none?
Most couples there are Black - White, White - Asian and Hispanic - Black or White. |
| I live next to NY (I'm not saying which state lol), but I have lived on both coasts, and from what I see Asian guy - black girl pairing is more likely to happen on the West Coast. Out here, the black girls I see are with Hispanic guys. Next to black men-white female relationships, that's the most common. And here, Latinas just tend to stick to other Latino men, regardless of race, but I have seen them with other races. Middle Eastern and Indian men, I've seen them with women of all races too, but where I live, it's still not so common that I can't say how common/rare they are. I think the East Coast is in general less racist, but still, interracial dating is not as common here (in my state) as it is in NY, so what I see is different from what you see everyday. And I definitely see more diversity in California and their interracial relationships than anywhere, but maybe it depends on the area and who's around you at the time and in your area. In LA I saw them all, but white men and Asian women was the most common. |
Why do I see more Indians interracial dating on the East Coast than the West Coast? I know experience experience experience but everyone I have talked to who is from the West Coast and visiting the West Coast myself, I noticed that ALL Indian people (India) there were dating only other Indians exclusively.
Yet here on the East Coast it is so common to see Indian - White and Indian - other Asian relationships. I have even seen Indian - Black relationships (Mainly Black man - Indian woman) and Indian - Hispanic relationships (mainly Indian guy - Latina).
Why is it more common to see Indians interracial dating on the East Coast, is it because people on the East Coast are less racist towards Indian people? |
I live in the mid-west and I am in an interracial relationship with a man who is half Pakistani.
How could you possibly notice ALL Indian couples on the west coast? |
When they say that people on the West Coast are open to interracial couples, do they only mean certain types? Currently I am in Los Angeles with my wife, my friend and his wife. We come from the East Coast where people are too busy with their own life to worry about what someone is doing with theirs. I am a White man married to a White European woman, my friend is an Indian guy (India) married to a Puerto Rican woman. I must admit myself that his wife is quiet beautiful, he is tall, olive skinned and a cool guy.
Well I notice that the interracial couples here are usually:
Black guy - White girl, White guy - Asian girl or Black or White guy with a Latina. Now we were walking and I noticed that people were open to talking to us but one Hispanic man asked my friend if he was Hispanic, he said he wasn't but his wife said that she was Hispanic. The man paused and said he couldn't believe a Latina as good as her would go to an Indian guy.
Also some people who were on the tour bus with us looked at my friend and his wife and asked if he and his wife were middle eastern or Hispanic, he said he was Indian and that she was Puerto Rican. People made such rude comments, one person even said "wow, Indian guys getting into interracial dating, aren't you people supposed to marry your own type".
I am shocked that people out west are so racist, is this typical behavior out here? |
No, that is not typical at all because I lived there for 4 years and never experienced much racism at all, if any. That is one place that has more interracial couples than anywhere else in the world, and people there don't even give a second glance at mixed couples. You probably just unlucky enough to run int the few idiots that are there, because you know we have some nuts in the best of places lol. Anyone will tell you that the West Coast is the most diverse place You can think of. Sorry your friends had that bad experience.
EDIT: I hope this is a true question and not bs, because I notice all your questions have something to do with race, not your own. |
