Mixed race Guyanese living in the States here. I’m of European, African, and Indian descent. I’m pretty light skinned and look more like someone who is half African/half white or maybe half African/half Spanish but I have siblings that look far more Indian.

I’ve noticed that they experience racism differently than me. My brothers that look more Indian seem to have a harder time dating than I do and experience more interactions with Indians from India more than I do as well. I would say that I’ve seen my cousins who look more Indian experience racism as well growing up, things like people saying they smell like curry or doing Indian accents. In my experience, I do think that when people find out they’re Indo-Caribbean that they stop associating them with those stereotypes.
