为何全世界都厌倦印度移民

Why The World Is Tired Of Indian Immigrants

这段视频剖析了印度移民在海外被刻板印象的真正原因——从喧闹的公共场所行为、浓重的食物气味,到乱扔垃圾、深夜派对以及网络民族主义。

印度移民想知道自己为何遭人憎恨。这真是个谜,不是吗?
为什么在加拿大、澳大利亚、英国和美国等国家,提到印度移民常常会引发翻白眼或抱怨?我们不必拐弯抹角。虽然每个移民群体都会遭受刻板印象,但海外的印度人似乎更令人感到沮丧。
这不仅仅是因为口音或辛辣刺激的咖喱。而是因为当地人认为他们的行为粗鲁、吵闹或完全不顾他人感受。先从日常生活说起。你正坐在伦敦或多伦多一辆安静的火车上,正忙着自己的事情,突然有人用免提电话大声喊着印地语、
旁遮普语或其他印度语言。没有耳机,没有音量控制,没有任何警告,整个车厢的人都被迫加入到他们的家庭闹剧中。公交车、超市,甚至图书馆都是如此。在许多西方国家,大多数人普遍非常注重公共场所的礼仪。保持安静,保持整洁。
当印度人带着截然不同的常识来到中国时,会让人感到不快。他们在国内已经习惯了,那么为什么出国后就不能这样做呢?
还有赤脚坐在公共交通座椅上。对许多印度人,尤其是来自小城镇的人来说,这没什么大不了的。在家乡,人们常常会翘着脚闲逛。但在悉尼或温哥华这样的地方,火车每天都会清洁,人们也希望对公共空间给予基本的尊重,而赤脚坐在公共交通座椅上只会显得肮脏和粗心。
没有什么比把你那脏兮兮的脚趾伸到别人要坐的地方更不礼貌了。更别提吃东西了。咖喱固然美味,但
在拥挤的地铁上吃像印度香饭或咖喱鱼这样气味浓烈的食物,那可不仅仅是一顿饭那么简单。那是一场生物战。西方人习惯于边走边吃快餐。
通常是一些容易吃的糕点,而不是一整个厨房的香味弥漫在空气中,然后
用手吃掉。结果呢?怒目而视、抱怨,以及对那些吃着臭烘烘食物的印度人的刻板印象。乱扔垃圾是另一个大问题。在澳大利亚或日本等印度移民数量惊人的国家,人们热衷于垃圾回收和保持街道清洁。因此,当当地人看到印度学生或移民把垃圾扔出车窗外,
或者野餐后把公园弄得乱七八糟时,会立即引发强烈反应。这与种族主义无关。这关乎对社区空间的尊重。不幸的是,少数粗心大意的人最终会让整个社区颜面扫地。不过,我在这里算是客气了,因为这种情况不只发生在少数人身上。
实际上,这种情况相当多。
现在,我们来谈谈噪音。正如你在介绍视频中看到的,许多在国外的印度学生和家庭以举办大型家庭派对、震耳欲聋的音乐、将汽车停满街道、邻居们直到凌晨3点才睡而闻名。在印度,这
很正常。噪音法规几乎不会被执行。但在美国郊区或英国城镇,人们像珍宝一样守护着自己的安宁,这基本上就是对社区宣战。当警察多次被叫去叫停同一个派对时,
人们开始对这些印度邻居产生非常强烈的看法。但事情就在这里变得复杂起来。
并非所有在国外的印度人都会这样做。大多数人适应得很快,遵守当地规范,并且是非常好 的邻居和同事。
问题在于,当你拥有像加拿大这样庞大的移民群体时,印度人占国际学生的近40%,而且他们集中在特定地区,只需一小部分人行为不当,刻板印象就会根深蒂固。人们会记得让他们彻夜难眠的喧闹派对,而不是隔壁安静、礼貌的印度家庭。此外,许多印度移民大量涌入,通常聚集在同一个社区,这也于事无补。对当地人来说,这可能会让他们感到不知所措。突然之间,他们的城镇或城市感觉变了,不仅在人口结构上,而且在声音、气味和文化上都发生了变化。而人类天生抗拒改变。再加上一些被认为是不礼貌的行为,怨恨就会迅速滋生。
此外,还有网络方面的问题。海外印度人的网络习惯通常和我们在印度看到的一样。民族主义的捶胸顿足、不断的比较以及关于印度如何成为第一的无休止的争论。当这种态度与西方观众发生冲突时,他们已经看到了线下文化冲突,这强化了印度人喧闹、好争论、不愿适应的刻板印象。
以YouTube评论区为例,你有没有注意到,几乎每个 关于巴基斯坦、Ch 的视频甚至一些随机的科技评论,最终都会变成印度人
争论他们的国家为什么是
世界第一?无论视频内容是智能手机还是烹饪食谱,
都无关紧要。不知何故,谈话
转向了民族主义。这就像
你出现在家庭烧烤会上,
却大声谈论地缘政治,而其他人
只想吃饭。人们
会感到恼火,因为这感觉不像是一场对话,
更像是一场没人要的说教。但我想,这就是
他们感到力不从心,
内心深处知道自己
并非世界第一的原因。所以他们必须
不断地大声喧哗。
但公平地说,这种挫败感也部分源于文化误解。
在多伦多被视为粗鲁的行为,在德里可能并不粗鲁。例如,在印度的很多地方,大声喧哗并不被视为缺乏礼貌。
这只是正常的社交活动。
在公共场合吃香味浓郁的食物
在印度并不被人看不起。这早已是家常便饭。
因为你猜怎么着?咖喱在印度随处可见。
当然,还有更难闻的气味困扰着印度,比如
露天排污或牛粪的味道。当
这些规范与西方的
期望发生冲突时,就会导致紧张局势。
我们目前看到的这种紧张局势
在每个西方国家都存在。虽然当地人抱怨印度人, 不体谅他人,但印度人往往甚至没有意识到自己做错了什么。对他们来说,这很正常。那么,为什么每个人都对加拿大、澳大利亚、英国和美国等国的印度移民感到厌烦呢?

原因有很多。吵闹的公共场合行为、对公共空间的不尊重、让陌生人难以忍受的食物气味、乱扔垃圾、吵闹的深夜派对,以及网络上过度民族主义的名声。事实是,这并非每个印度人的问题。这关乎那些引人注目的少数群体,他们脱颖而出,令邻居们感到沮丧,最终决定了社区的声誉。

归根结底,归根结底在于:移居到另一个国家意味着学习你所在文化的规则,并切实遵守。这才是融合和移民的意义所在,而不是简单地带着你的文化和价值观去取代本土的。然而,责任并不完全在于移民。我们还必须追究政府的责任,让他们承担起接纳大量移民的责任,并让他们聚集在像布朗普顿这样的地区。

当人们拒绝适应时,他们不仅会让自己丢脸,还会拖累整个社区。

有那么多诚实、勤劳、彬彬有礼的印度移民,他们定居下来,接受了当地的文化和语言,并用这些价值观抚养他们的孩子。但他们却因为不守规矩的同胞而遭受攻击和批评。看到这样的事情真是令人难过。

Why The World Is Tired Of Indian Immigrants

This video breaks down the real reasons Indian immigrants get stereotyped abroad — from loud public behavior and strong food smells to littering, late-night parties, and online nationalism.

Indian immigrants wonder why they are hated on. It's a mystery, isn't it?
Why is it that in countries like Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US, the mention of Indian immigrants often sparks an eye roll or a groan? Let's not beat around the bush. While every immigrant group gets its fair share of stereotypes, Indians abroad seem to
attract a special kind of frustration.
And it's not just about accents or spicy, pungent curries. It's about behavior that locals see as rude, loud, or downright inconsiderate. Let's start with the everyday stuff. You're on a quiet train in London or Toronto minding your business and suddenly someone is on speakerphone shouting a conversation in Hindi or
Punjabi or whatever Indian language at
full blast. No headphones, no volume
control, no warning, just the entire
carriage forced to join in on their
family drama. It's the same on buses, in
supermarkets, even at libraries. In many
western countries, most people are by
and large hyper aware of public space
etiquette. Keep it quiet. Keep it tidy.
When Indians come in with a very
different sense of what's normal, it
rubs people the wrong way. They are used
to doing it at home. So why not do it
when abroad?
Then there's the bare feet on public
transport seats. To many Indians,
especially those from small towns, this
is no big deal. Back home, it's common
to lounge around with feet up. But in
places like Sydney or Vancouver, where
trains are cleaned daily and people
expect basic respect for shared spaces,
this just looks dirty and careless.
Nothing screams bad manners like putting
your nasty toes where someone's going to
sit. And don't even get started on food.
Curry can be delicious, no doubt, but
eating strong smelling food like biryani
or fish curry on a crowded subway,
that's not just a meal. That's
biological warfare. People in the West
are used to quick snacks on the go.
Usually something easy to eat like a
pastry, not an entire kitchen's worth of
aromomas filling the air that is then
eaten by hand. The result? Glares,
complaints, and the stereotype of those
Indians with the smelly food. Littering
is another big one. In countries like
Australia or Japan, which is
surprisingly seeing more and more Indian
immigrants, people are obsessed with
recycling and keeping streets clean. So
when locals see Indian students or
immigrants tossing trash out of a car
window or leaving a park messy after a
picnic, it sparks instant backlash. It's
not about racism. It's about respect for
community spaces. And unfortunately, the
careless few end up making the whole
group look bad. But I'm being generous
here because it's not just a few. It's
quite a lot, actually.
Now, let's talk about noise. As you just
saw in the intro video, many Indian
students and families abroad are famous
for throwing massive house parties,
music blasting, cars parked all over the
street, and neighbors kept awake until
3:00 in the morning. Back in India, this
is normal. noise regulations are barely
enforced. But in suburban America or
British towns where people guard their
peace and quiet like treasure, this is
basically a declaration of war on the
neighborhood. And when police are called
multiple times to shut down the same
parties, people start forming very
strong opinions about those Indian
neighbors. But here's where it gets
complicated. Not every Indian abroad
acts this way. Most adapt quickly,
follow local norms, and are perfectly
good neighbors and colleagues.
The problem is when you have a huge
immigrant community like in Canada,
where Indians make up nearly 40% of
international students and they are
focused in certain regions, it only
takes a small fraction behaving badly
for the stereotype to take hold. People
remember the loud party that kept them
up all night, not the quiet, polite
Indian family next door. It also doesn't
help that many Indian immigrants arrive
in large numbers, often clustering in
the same neighborhoods. For locals, it
can feel overwhelming. Suddenly, their
town or city feels different, not just
in demographics, but in sound, smell,
and culture. And humans by nature resist
change. Add in behaviors considered bad
manners and resentment builds fast.
And then there's the online side of
things. Indians abroad often carry the
same online habits we see from India
itself. Nationalist chest beating,
constant comparisons and endless
arguments about how India is number one.
When that attitude collides with western
audiences who already see the offline
cultural clashes, it reinforces the
stereotype of Indians being loud,
argumentative and unwilling to adapt.
Take YouTube comment sections for
example. Ever noticed how almost every
video about Pakistan, China, or even
random tech reviews ends up with Indians
arguing about how their country is
number one? It doesn't matter if the
video was about smartphones or cooking
recipes. Somehow the conversation
swerves into nationalism. It's like
showing up at a family barbecue and
yelling about geopolitics while everyone
else just wants to eat. People get
annoyed because it feels less like a
conversation and more like a lecture
nobody asked for. But I guess that's the
reason that they feel inadequate and
know in their heart of hearts that they
aren't actually number one. So they must
keep shouting it from the rooftops.
But let's be fair here. Some of this
frustration is also cultural
misunderstanding.
What's rude in Toronto might not be rude
in Delhi. Loudness, for example, isn't
seen as a lack of manners in many parts
of India. It's just normal socializing.
Eating fragrant food in public isn't
frowned upon back home. It's daily life.
Because guess what? Curry is everywhere
in India. And of course, there's far
worse smells that plague India, such as
open flowing sewage or cow dung. When
these norms clash with western
expectations, the result is tension.
Tension that we currently see bubbling
in every western country. And while
locals complain about Indians being
inconsiderate,
Indians often don't even realize they're
doing anything wrong. For them, it's
normal. So why is everyone sick and
tired of Indian immigrants in countries
like Canada, Australia, the UK, and the
US? It's a mix of things. Loud public
behavior, lack of respect for shared
spaces, food smells that overwhelm
strangers, littering, noisy late night
parties, and a reputation for being
overly nationalistic online.
The truth is, it's not about every
Indian. It's about the noticeable
minority who stand out, frustrate their
neighbors, and end up defining the
community's reputation.
At the end of the day, it comes down to
this. Moving to another country means
learning the rules of the culture you're
in and actually abiding by them. That's
how integration and immigration is meant
to be, not simply bringing your culture
and values to replace the native ones.
However, the blame does not lie solely
on immigrants. We must also hold
governments to account for letting in
huge numbers of immigrants and letting
them cluster up in areas such as Bmpton.
When people refuse to adapt, they don't
just make themselves look bad, they drag
their whole community down with them.
There's so many honest, hard-working,
well-mannered Indian immigrants who have
settled and adopted the culture and
language while raising their children
with these values. But they face attacks
and criticism because of their unruly
compatriots. And it's sad to see such a
thing.
