I'm a Black guy that used to be married to an Indian woman AMA
- Thread starter Luke Cage
- Start date
There is three different kinds. (technically just two but they way we often see in america three)
Native Americans -(not really Indians - just a name europeans gave to them)
Indians - (as in people from India)
West Indians - as in people from the west indies or the carribbean basin. (also not really indians, also a name europeans gave to them)
Low Key if i was a native american or a Guyanese person, i would find it disrespectful to be called Indian. basically letting colonizers give you a name instead using the one you called yourselves.
they used indigenous Caribs and African slaves. I don't think Indians were ever brought over there in large numbers. but i could be wrong.
they're from southern india, the did have servants in her household, but i don't know enough about their economics to know if that means she was wealthy or if anybody can afford maids. I assume they were doing well enough since they could send her and her sister over to america for college.

I believe the term Caribbean people of Indian descent consider themselves to be Indo-Carribbean .
Also as an Indian dude on this board I gotta give you props man..Dealing with Indian folks is headache when comes to these situations.

@Weedizmedicine Interesting story breh, Women can be unpredictable with this shyt.
I know a Bengali chick who’s BF is Black. They live together but she pretends she lives with a friend
Had to tell her about saying nikka
Her mother tells her to scrub her skin because she’s too dark

@Iceson Beckford does the boyfriend knows this or she doing this behind his back? I can’t imagine BM putting up with this not even for a nonblack woman, that’s just disrespectful.
The Indians were enslaved they replaced the Africans and Natives after they were emancipated.
They were indentured servants, not slaves. Meaning they chose to accept going to these islands for pay because they felt they were better off than staying India.
Indo west Indians do not share the history of blacks when it comes to slavery and many were used to undermine blacks who were fighting for their freedoms, when whites left. It left a power vacuum and since many Indians were looked at more favourably, they took over these positions, creating some discord between blacks and Indians.
Ie/ Trinidad, Guyana, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, etc...

Yeah he does
He knows her parents don’t fukk with him because hes Black/Non Bengali but hes accepted by her siblings.
These scenarios arent uncommon in London though. I try not to judge because love isnt logical
I like talking to her about it, I personally couldnt do it and my mom would be disappointed if I subjected myself to that.
It’s sad cause you can tell shes been subjected to ALOT of Anti Black and colourist rhetoric, takes time to unlearn that even if you don’t agree with it.
I hate when people try to make it sound like they just worked a job, that shyt was slavery just like working nikkas in jail for a dollar a week is slavery. It may not have been as severe as the chattel slavery in KMT and in the “Americas” but the people had no autonomy and very few rights.
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
My girl is dark skin black and Indian but identifies as black. Completely different unrelated experience for me I guess. She looks 'black' as well.
If i got to choosei might could see the prospects. But if it's my wife and her family choosing nah
Seems like all of my questions about your situation have been answered. Interesting thread, though. Good shyt, OP. I’m married to a Mexican from Mexico. She never was in a “phase”, though. She just liked me and I liked her.
She doesn’t really fukk with people who aren’t Latino, Black or Native American at all. She can be more militant than some of the posters on this very forum sometimes. Her family has always been cool as fukk and looked out for me, too.
