I am an indian and I want to persue my further studies(after 10+2) in europe.i have an indian accent so will I face racism there working as a student.should I stay in a close knit asian group.If I talk to white people will they respond or say any racist remarks.
I am quite nervous as I don’t want to imitate any foreign accent and I have wheatish complexion and am a hindu??
So I just wanted to ask that if you are white and I talk to you then will you be rude to me or respond normally??will you be friends with me??

You shouldnt worry about how people are when you notice that they show some type of racism towards you. In europe, as well as rest of the whole world, there will be bitterness from some inane person because you are not like them.
There are also people that just want to make friends, and expand their circle of friends. You should just be yourself and act like you normally do, and you will get people to come to you and become friends with you. And on the other hand, you are going for school, and if they see you are smart and have a drive to learn, you will also acquire other people wanting to be your friends because you are smart.
I am not caucasian, nor am I am english, but anyone with some inkling to make friends are never turned down, at least by me.
Hope this helps.

If you go to a big city where they are used to lots of different people, you should have no problems. The only reason you might want to work on your accent is so that you will be understood better. I don't live in Europe, but we have all kinds of people here in Chicago and we accept everyone. I can't say that 50 or more years ago it would have been the same, but these days it's more than usual.

not all white people are racist, if you come to Europe with that assumption you'll never make friends because you're full of prejudices. Your accent will change a bit, without you noticing or doing anything, my accent changes constantly depending on which language I speak and with who. If your accent is really really Indian and nobody can understand you, which can happen, then find people who are familiar with your accent, people who traveled to India or lived there for a while.

If anything, you may face less racism in Europe than in the US.
As for going to college/university, the students typically attending a high level of education tend to be quite open minded to other races/colors of skin. So I don't think you have much to worry about.
As for being rude to you, I am white, and I attended university, and never once did I really notice race when talking to people.

you probably will face some racism. but you shouldn't stay in an asian group or try to imitate any other accent because of that. be yourself and be proud to be yourself. there will be plenty of people that are not racist that will like you. ignore the ones that don't.

theres racism everywhere, no matter what you are. everyone faces racism or discrimination at least once in thier life. But if you didn't know. India has one of the largest population in the world. Im pretty sure you won't be the only person from india there.

i'm of indian descent and studied in england for a few months. i thought the english were uptight and whatnot, but they're very nice. i never had any problems, except being american and a few friends say "damn yanks" every once in a while lolz all in all it was a great experience and i dont think you should let a few ignorant people ruin you furthering your education. :)
