In addition to Blacks, I am now seeing a trend of no Indians too (no where near NBA, but interesting). Brown is the new Black?

Over the past 2 years, I must have asked at least 10 different Dallas ladies on their opinions about Indians (I asked their opinion of blacks and other races too but that's a different story). This is what they told me. The problem is not Indian Americans who have been brought up in the states and are Americanized. They have no problem whatsoever with those gents, regardless of their skin color and appearance.
Their problem is with fresh off the boat Indian immigrants. They told me about a third of their fresh off the boat Indian clients are problematic for the following reasons:
1. Poor hygiene. A constant diet of pungent curries and Indian spices combined with a sweaty hairy body is not a good combo. If you have a hairy body and eat such foods, you have to be especially careful to take a shower and brush your teeth before a session and use deodorant. The ladies I talked to told me about a third of the fresh off the boat Indians they encounter have bad hygiene and the remaining two thirds of FOB Indians are clean and smell fine.
2. Haggling. Haggling is very common in India and does not have a negative connotation over there. However it is a very rude and disrespectful practice in the hobby. The ladies I talked to told me again about a third of Fresh off the Boat Indians they encounter try to haggle and make them feel uncomfortable as a result.
I also asked ladies if Indians try to break their rules and make them feel uncomfortable i.e asking for bbfs etc. The ten ladies I talked to said some do but no more than guys of other races like white, black etc.
The No Indian ads that we are seeing in Dallas are a response to the large population of fresh off the boat Indians in Dallas. If you go to other places in the US like Phoenix, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Indianapolis etc. you will not find any No Indian ads at all. That's because the Indians who live there (and there are Indians living there) are Americanized and are for the most part, good clean respectable clients who always pay up.
