hey!! i dont know whats wrong with people in UK?
im a 22 year old guy, indian national. i have been in uk for sometime now but what i thought of UK is now just an irony. why do they hate indians so much and it is just not british people but white people from everywhere? i mean at the club in the mall they try to move away from you, but if they see your rich etc. they try to get close to you. what do they want money? why not respect everyone in the same manner and now this behavior really annoys us.

No disrespect to you but white people probably have a problem with Indian people because of all the stigma related to muslims and religion. Many white people do not know the difference between Indian and Pakistan and white people just assume that all Indians and Pakistanis are muslims and because of the severity muslims have done in the past, white people just sterotype all Indian and Pakistanis. They shouldn't but muslims have gave white people a bad idea of them so that is most probably why.

Hi Nick
the girl has told you some of the issues and it is sadly true in the larger cities especially in some areas where jobs have been lost to indians in the past. due to economic pressure an indian will do job a lot cheaper than an english person, so that is where a lot of this resentment stems from.
yes it is still a class society no matter what some white liberals will try to tell you. at street level it is still a dog eat dog existence.
so you have some big disadvantages but you only have your fellow indians to than For the problems you face as they have laid down the ground rules. the treatment of women is a real issue women here are treated as equals and you should learn to live with that idea.
so here we have a nation now fighting a recession despite what they say it is depressed and has been getting worse over some years. so you must have arrived when it started.
which would not help you. we have a lot of immigrant ions not all legal and not really wanted as you have probably found, most would rather we didn't have it in actual fact but all politicians want is votes and as they don't live on the streets they don't give a toss about anyone really but themselves feathering there own nests.
so the only real place where things work for you are amongst other indians, so most end up gathering together and gain a chip on the shoulder over this situation.
so this is what makes them a target as they see it. there is not adverse feeling towards anyone just the way of the world. we simply do not have enough jobs for our own people without an influx of yet more.
Source(s): At 65years old i have watch your problems get worse, yes i have an Indian friend he is a business man scratching a living here in a west country town as he probably found life in the big city not tolerable. yes we have some idians in our community and generaly very good people but the problems start when indian youths start with the chip on the shoulder attitude, thinking the police have it in for them. well they don't but when youths start getting gobby as we call it they attract unwanted attention to them selves so attract the worst in attitude out of a police man. using bad langauge is what really fires the police into action so keep it civil no problem and all will be done and you will be on your way home. but start getting up tight and start shouting about it and then expect a ride in a police van and appearance before a magistrate in the morning having spent the night in a cell in the police station. - 9 years ago
First of i'm white and have nothing against indian nations, or any nation expsicaly those from ex-empire nations. It could be the area you live in, or even that fact that now days, and this is my view that we are told to accept this and that blah blah, in fact we should not be forced to like this or that but rather just left in an enviroment where we grow up with these people.
Also respect in the Uk was lost long ago, you go to think looking at he goverment how they constantly show being patrotic as being wrong and against the law in some ways etc...so they adventuly get use to being put down that they need something to vent there anger at. Also the money thing i'm sure that its the same with every race around the world, that guys got money i want some blah blah.

As the old saying goes "birds of a feather, flock together" - people are often judged not by who they are, but by those with whom they mix.
A Muslin cleric is recorded as having said that "Islam would not rest till they saw the flag of Islam flying over Buckingham Palace"; statements like that, plus the London bombings and the publicity given to Muslims using British girls as sex objects, disincline the public acceptance of anyone who, just might be of that persuasion.
Consequently you are all tarred with the same brush if you appear to be from Pakistan or the Middle East.
Only you and your people can prove these misconceptions to be wrong by condeming and helping to put right the disease in your own Society.

There is racism everywhere. UK is less racist than most. Yet in India, you have the caste system. How do you treat "untouchables"?
I worked with an Indian bloke. We were great friends. He admitted that his mother in India wouldn't even use the same plates for white guests.

It sounds like you're living in a nasty part of the UK. Go and visit somewhere like Brighton for the day and see if you get the same treatment -- I doubt you will.

There is a minority of racists in every country including India. Just ignore them. They are idiots

Oh dear. I hate racism. In any format. And you have it bad. If it's so bad for you in the UK, why don't you simply return to India? Problem solved.

It could be that the people in the UK are respecting the Indian cast system and treat you as one of the untouchables as you deserve.
