not ironic at all, india has thousand of different ethnic groups. india is a heavily mixed country, their is no one indian race. indians from different regions look completely different. throughout the centuries there have been various conquest of indian territories. the Mughul invasion, led to Arab-Indian mixes, plus different indian dynasties mixed with other indians dynasties, throughout history. Indian culture isn't against interracial relationship. There are people in india who look like africans and there are people who look like souther europeans. All of them are culturally indians. Some indians maybe against marrying
non indian, but it's not a racial issue it's more cultural.
BTW, caucasians are not all white. The majority of indians are caucasian(meaning from the caucasoid race), but not white. Meaning they have the same bone structure and features as Europeans, but darker skin color, even dravidians are Caucasoid, meaning caucasian. So she looks caucasian, because she is. But she isn't white or mixed with white. There are plenty of light-skinned indians that look like her and aren't mixed at all. Kashmiris come to mind. No indian would mistake her for anything other than indian. Even though see has light skin she still has a unique indian look.
