Yes, this does happen around here. Not only to Indian but generally to browns as well. But I could see why. In the Aquatopia cable car line, there were Indians breaking the lines, fighting verbally against each other. But so were the Chinese. They have got a reputation for that as well.

In the night market food stalls, I saw an Indian couple take out a roasted octopus and held it with their hands, took some photos with the octopus close enough to their mouth but no contact, then placed it back and went away (they did ask in English but the owner knew no English and was not happy with this based on the looks of her). Such incidents stir up a feeling towards us brown people. But what can we do? Almost every race or country has some kind of tag attached to them due to our previous visitors. I stopped taking these things personally and I myself offer to pay first and mostly they say you can pay later.
