    Default Do you consider East Indians a black race?

    I am of East Indian heritage. Have grown up in Australia my whole life.

    As there were not many other Indian/brown people when I was growing up (I am 31 now), my cousins and I latched onto African American culture.

    One thing that always struck me when I watched shows like Fresh Prince, was how similar the dynamics of my family was with a lot of black families. We behave the same way, culturally.

    I consider Indians a closely related group to Africans, and more of a black race than a brown race.

    Mexicans are a brown race. Persians are a brown race.

    If you go to India though, you will find that most of the 1.3 billion people there are of a skin tone much closer to black than brown.

    In spirit, there are many similarities between Indians and Africans. The macho, patriarchal culture. We eat as a family in a loud and festive way. We love song and dance. We are deeply spiritual.

    I think Indians and Africans have more in common at a 'soul' level than they would care to admit.

    Yes! I feel like I am the only one who sees the connection. Its true they are very dark and its almost disingenuous for indians to call themselves "brown" as we commonly do when many are almost as if not just as "black" as Africans, especially African Americans.

    Aside from that, yes, the mentality and cultural atmosphere is highly similar to that of African Americans. Both groups tend to be highly religious as well.

    There are also a lot of massively overlooked similarities between Sub-Saharan Africa and India. Both regions have a menagerie of ethnic groups and "tribes" or castes which are difficult for westerners to comprehend. Both areas were colonized by Europeans. Both areas have very similar wildlife and geography(elephants, buffalo, monkeys, mongoose, leopards) as well as tropical highly seasonal climates. Also, complete social dysfunction and intense poverty as well, unfortunately.

    Yes the AASI are definitely black, some indians are 70% AASI and look a variation of black (with deep dark brown or blackish skin tone). India is diverse, some indians are "white" and some are "black" broadly speaking. But I think there are more black indians then white indians. There are also southeast asian or mongoloid type indians. East weddid reminds me of thais mixed with papuan.

    I'm glad many people agree with me.

    @Shogun another similarity between Indians and African Americans is the fact that we have both been robbed or our cultural identity.

    Hindus/Sikhs have been colonized by so many people that we have lost touch with our nature and customs from 1000 plus years ago. The same can be said of African Americans.

    Hence we have both fallen victim to the extremely materialistic Anglo culture. We have allowed the materialism to create a 'crabs in a bucket' mentality.

    No, black race = only black africans and native australians. Indians are not blacks and nobody consider them blacks.

    I have a South Indian friend that African folks walk up to and ask which (African) country he's from.
