Where I live (just outside of NYC), I'm SURROUNDED by Indians.

This is not an exaggeration. Every morning commute in the elevator, you can bet your ass 5 out of 8 people will be Indian. They are EVERYWHERE. Indian toddlers in stroller, Indian newly weds, Indian old moms, Indian working professionals, omg.

I even asked one of the Indian guy, why do you all live in this area? They just shrugged. They even VISIT each other between floors. Who the hell does that in the city?

What is the problem you ask? Because the hallways smells like amazingly delicious Indian cuisine EVERYTIME. I absolutely love Indian food, and this... tandoori grill smell and savory curry smell has penetrated into my whole apartment.

Oh my god I'm hungry. The scent is most offending to my appetite on weekends.

Been like that in Jersey City for at least a decade. 50% of Indians I worked with live(d) there.

Make friends, tell them how good the food smells and that you'd love to be able to cook that sort of thing.

Bet you get invited to tea really quickly.

Yes. What is the historical significance of so many Indians settling here?

Late 90's and early 00's they were coming over by the ton to work in IT around Wall St., and Jersey City was close (PATH) and obviously cheaper than Manhattan. FOB Indians don't like spending money on rent/housing even if they can afford it.

sounds about right.

I live downtown and it doesn't really bother me... I dated a couple Indian guys, but weirdly enough, they were both super, super racist towards blacks and non-Indian Asians.

This true but sad. They send most of the money back to India. Yes, you get more returns on your investment in India when compared to the US, but most of them take it to the extreme.

They usually like to only hang out with their own kind and many times will have 15-20 relatives all in the same house

Brampton Ontario, where my parents grew up. They don't call it Brown Town for nothing. 36% of the people there are South Asian. My granddad always used to say it was because they were near the airport, so they could bring their families or make a quick get-away.

The city is the butt of many jokes because of its high Indian FOB population and general urban decay. It's the one thing blacks, whites, and Asians there can agree on. Nobody likes the brown people. :p
