There is more leeway with a white guy though.
Even when I was in school, I'd hear some of my friends criticize a guy for how he dressed, what kind of car he had (college), if he had his license (high school), how good his teeth was, etc and then go date a white guy who dressed like a bum.
Definitely this. The white guys in these scenarios could dress like anything with these women.
Indian or Asian guy needed to have some style, even if they are tall.
This is something I've noticed with interracial dating.
Shorter white guys seem to get some kind of pass from non-white women.
I will not deny that a taller man (any race) will have more potential for better outcomes when it comes to dating non-Indian women.
However, I notice that non-white women will be more accepting of a shorter white guy while scoffing at shorter men from their own race and culture.
There is this Asian woman I know who always has something negative to say about short men, but her current boyfriend is 5'6 or so, but white.
I called her out on this and she said, "but he's different".
All of her Asian boyfriends were exceptionally tall.
The only thing "different" about him is that he is not Asian.
I've seen this with Indian women I know also.
What is your take on this. Have you noticed this?
The average height in India for males I read in a sub-reddit is 5'7. This means that 5'4 and below is most likely where height my be an issue. Over here in the states of course, it is not uncommon to see Indian men in the 6 foot range, especially in the cities.
There still are many Indians here who are in the 5'5-5'8 range. Over in the UK, the recent Prime Minister himself was just 5'6.
My question is, do you find yourself being rejected by your own in the diaspora for being under 5'9? In this case, I'd say in the 5'6-5'8 range.
"Dozens of Indian farm labourers have been freed from slave-like working conditions in northern Italy, police have said.
The 33 workers were lured to Italy on the promise of jobs and a better future by two fellow Indian nationals, police say.
But instead, they were allegedly forced to work more than 10 hours a day, seven days a week for a tiny wage which was used to pay off debts to the alleged gangmasters."
Wild stuff. Hoping those gang-masters get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and do some serious jail time.
When people talk about slave-labor, they typically point the finger at African nations or parts of South-East Asia, but it's still happening in plain sight in the West.
