How come Indians and Pakis and Bengalis do their utmost to be accepted by the British?

Africans love english master but little bit less than south-east asians..

Colonialism

They don't, and when they do it's because they recognise how great the English were/are, and how much they've given to civilisation. In that respect continental Europeans could learn something from them.

Oh yes we understood that pakis indians and bengalis are little bit wrong..

They probably have a natural need to obey someone.

So it is not their fault that they have this desire to serve the English with care even in these 2000s ..

Congratulations to the British for having taught/tamed Indians and Pakis and Bengalis well.( but i think that was not a difficult task..)

The Romans also managed to tame the English natives well many years ago ( but it was a difficult task )..

Indians/ Pakis/ Bengalis are a pretty pathetic bunch who will pretty much suck up to anyone outside of the subcontinent.

They don't. Insofar as that was ever really true at all, it hasn't been the case since 1947, and especially not now with the rise of both Hindu and Islamic fundamentalism. If anything, South Asians in Britain are normally criticised for being poorly-integrated, hidebound and maladaptive, not for being submissive and willing to do anything to please Whitey. (All the same, it is true they tend to get on with Blacks even less well than they do with Whites, but they are hardly alone in that respect).

You are saying that (the situation with blacks) because of the status quo in Trinidad or Britain itself?

Indians and Blacks often have poor relations in Britain, India itself, the Caribbean, East Africa, Southern Africa... However, like we've discussed before, Indians are not exactly the only ones who, while not necessarily placing Whites on a pedestal, do at least find the idea of their daughters marrying White men to be less repulsive than them marrying Black men. (And no, of course I don't agree with these racial hierarchies and gradations of prejudice - just observing them).

As a matter of fact, the Indian writer Meera Nanda - whose magnum opus is Prophets Facing Backwards, which looks at the rise of Hindu fundamentalism and its support both by Indians themselves and by Western postmodernists - has claimed that, contrary to the "submissive Indian" stereotype:

Indians rank number one in the world in thinking that we are number one in the world. Or rather, that our culture is.

This ranking comes from the 2007 Global Attitudes Survey carried out by the well-known American think tank, Pew Research Center. The survey asked people in forty-seven countries if they agreed or disagreed with this question: ‘Our people are not perfect, but our culture is superior to others.’ Indians topped the list.

Oh, and here is London-based Ugandan-Indian journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown writing about how she (and others) have been regarded by other Indians when they discover their White English partners. Yeah, such Anglo-worshippers...

But she does also recognise that the prejudice against mixing with Blacks is even harsher:
