Whatever the perception there are always those who buck the trend. We need to learn to see beyond nationality, colour, race, gender etc.

Not sure jennifer. 30-50 years ago, America was struggling with race relations and Immigrants probably had bigger worries. They probably interacted less because the the racial barriers of those days and the work opportunities were limited to labor mainly. So, majority of America probably did not think much about people from India, to be honest, in old days. The society was mush different back then and immigrants did not get fair treatment.
my 2 cents.

Interesting that shy, introverted is #1. I wonder if this stereotype is actually more now a days than used to be. Now a days so many desis come to America, so there is more opportunity to live in America and not interact with Americans outside work/school. This means that the confidence in interacting or relating to Americans may be diminished compared to of course the confidence in interacting with Indians. Some 30-50 years ago not many desis were here so there were fewer groups as there are today. This is also probably true for other immigrants from non-European countries. What do you think?

Indians are good talkers, but bad listeners.
