Whether it's a racial or cultural issue, it is still prejudice.

There are plenty of prejudice that exist in western societies, dispite multi-culturalism. but that's human nature. My whole family lives in Texas(where a semi-large Indian community exist). They face racism from whites on a daily basis, and it's just a part of living in Texas. Prejudice exist everywhere and it's all wrong. The best people can do is try to eliminate racism and prejudice in their own community and respective surroundings.

Btw, if you have a half-indian boyfriend, that would mean there's atleast 1 indian out there who doesn't oppose interracial relationships i.e. the indian parent of your boyfriend. so trying to point out a specific culture or race that has more racism than the other is useless. there are plenty of whites who are just as racism if not more. otherwise, things like the KKK, or Stormfront wouldn't exist. Those organizations are made up of a healthy number of whites, who would probably do more than stare, if they saw you walk down the street with your indian boyfriend.
