Many Indians, especially the recently arrived, dont understand nor relate to the Asian American experience/struggles. In fact, i would go so far as to say, a lot of Indians dont seem to exhibit the same level of respect towards Chinese/Japanese et al, that they display towards whites, which often borders on obsequiousnous. It's very similar to how a lot of Philipinos disassociate from being Asian while playing up their Spanish/European ancestry..
