I spent 6 weeks in India last year. Some of the worse weeks of my life. I'd be on a PACKED subway car and people would be scooting so as not to have to touch me. I'd go into shops and the visible hostility on the faces of some of these people let me know I wasn't welcome there. It was tough. On the other end of the spectrum you had random people coming up to take pics of/with you. That made me feel like a zoo animal a bit. A curiousity.
It's the same thing in the Caribbean context. Here in Guyana, Indo-Guyanese have dominated the economic realities of the country and still see themselves as superior to Afro-Guyanese. Couple that with ethnocentric political parties and we have a civil unrest waiting to happen. We mirror Trinidad is this regard and that's because we have an almost identical ethnic make up. The Indians need to get their shit together...
My best friend went to china and he said the same thing. People were circling him taking pictures, asking to take pics with him, and just being "amazed".
