Women of Indian descent (to me) are the most beautiful in the world. Too bad I couldn't get with one cause the majority hate black people (which I am) only. But that same majority loves white people. Even though there's more white people that would rather see a Will Smith movie than a Bollywood movie. If all of the sudden movie theaters started flooding the screens with Bollywood movies than most people wouldn't go out to see it.

Do you have any evidence that the majority of them love white people and hate black people? Certainly many do not like people of African descent, but some actually do not like white people (I assume you meant European). Others in the U.S.A. are less hostile to whites than blacks who live here. Many of them in India may not even think about blacks and whites in the U.S. or elsewhere. They're too caught up in their own personal dramas.

plus the Indian diaspora is quite large. You will find Indians in Europe, Africa, South America, the South Pacific, etc and they have different attitudes towards other "races".

I don't quite understand the Bollywood comment. With all the singing and dancing many of those Bollywood movies are reminiscent of the beach movies from the 60s. Those didn't last forever - Annette and Frankie grew up and so will Bollywood.

Women of Indian descent are in the Caribbean and some do date and marry dark complexioned men of African heritage, and honestly speaking, I am yet to encounter a woman, of any culture, not willing to date dark complexioned African Americans or African descended men.

Sorry.
I just made the statement from my own experiences with them.

Oh......... I wouldn't say the Majority hates black people,perhaps those that you have encountered had shown you their Racist side especially if they came directly from the Sub-Continent.
Some from India , don't even like Indians from the Caribbean whom they get annoyed with for daring to call themselves Indian.
Also with the explosion of Mixed race children of Afro and Indian descent in Caribbean Territories that has large Indo Populations, the only ones who may hate black peoples would be Indians of a particular age group (like really old, those who are stuck to their old racist ways ) and Indian Men Very Happy
