Bloody oath they stare! Over here in Australia it’s the same! They look at you unashamedly and when you make eye contact more often than not they quickly turn away, only to resume their staring later! However, I may add it’s not the 2nd and 3rd generation citizens – they have learnt to integrate well into our society but it’s the recent arrivals. I guess these differences and annoyances will be ironed out as time passes.

haha! i came across this from a google search, and let me tell you that as a EUROPEAN, Indians STARE at EVERYONE! and it is worse for us Europeans as in our cultures it is generally considered very rude to look at people for too long or stare!

Perhaps over there Indians stare only at Indians. But here in New York , Indians are known for staring too much.
Around the world staring is considered a sign of aggression and rude. I could understand staring at non indians in india because a tourist is new to them. But in NYC! They live here..for years and yet stare all the time at everyone…and leer at women. Even while the woman is with her man..or children. The other thing is they smell bad. I can understand in India they dont have the economic means or the hygenic facilities but once again….theyre in NYC! Im sure Indians might say “but other people smell too”. Then why is it if you ask anyone from any country….a french, german, chinese, malay, arab, canadian, australian, thai, greek, russian, jew, they all say “indians smell!”..why why why!
