I want some perspective from fellow Indians on this.why do westerners still view Indian men like this( am woman).

It’s racism, plain and simple !

I am an Indian living for more than a decade in the US and you would be shocked to hear about the sexual crimes committed by American men here. And so many of them go unreported here or get thrown out if they do go to the courts (from many personal anecdotes).

I am not claiming that we do not have issues in India, but all those issues exist here in the west if not in greater magnitudes.

At the end of the day it’s racism, plain and simple ! Westerners (read white) love to gaslight us into thinking we are inferior. They used to do the same to the minorities here in America, but thankfully social justice initiatives improved enough to de-stigmatize those views. Now they spew this vitriol against Indian and other Asian populations. And as problems in western societies increase - expect more and more of this gaslighting to occur !
