i am gonna explain why cows are scared in india for ignorant westerners, indis is the lodest living civilisation and when many people in the west were hunting and eating in india agriculture was in its prime and people used to drink cows milk and make stuff like cheese from it so its was regarded as a family member like westerners these make dog and cat their child😂😂also in our texts cows are considered sacred so there is not one reason for it....
In India people will stare at any foreigner.. It's not about the skin color.. People are just curious.. Just smile back, noone is harbouring any ill feelings..
I remember a story told by one of my friends. An Indian travelled to rural area in US. A kid walked towards him and asked why does he look brown ! People do stare in US, if you go into a restaurant or a store in a rural area. the stare could be why this brown guy is in this store ? I recently drove to Niagara from Northern Virginia taking rural roads for fun. Had to do couple of pit stops in rural towns in Pennsylvania. I felt few curious eyes.
As an Indian , Indian people have a staring problem. Even I do it unintentionally I have to reprogram myself not to. thank to my lovely wife who calls me out for doing it when I'm not self aware
Actually I am Indian British Punjabi but I am really tall. I noticed wherever I went in India, people would stare at me and it was so unnerving. Because I didn't know it was because I looked good to them or looked funny to them.
@@Morphysince94 We are Indian girls in India. Atleast I am. My 34 years of existence sure amounts to some experience. Especially last 11 years in Mumbai, the auto walas are always looking for eye contact for confirmation of ride.
In India staring is not considered rude. Even as an Indian I get stared in India when I am in a place where I am an "outsider"... even around my parent's home. You smile and nod at them and the excessively curious will then ask you their questions.
It's not about you being black . Most of the people stare at foreigners irrespective of their race, most of us have never seen foreigners physically and people are just curious to see or maybe have a little chit chat with foreigners, they might also ask for pictures to show their friends and families that they met a foreigner . As a foreigner you might absolutely feel little anxious and awkward but most of the times the intentions are not bad . Love from India ❤
Well, what you said is half-true. What you said about taking pics and chit chat with white foreigners may be correct. But in deep down Indians have different attitudes towards whites and blacks. I am also an Indian lived India for the most of my life and good amount of time outside India. India is the most racist country in the world. The descimination is rampant at every leavel - be it caste, religion, race, language. This is more in north part of India and in the Hindi belt.
@@ekminreviews.8054 There is a fundamental difference. I am not talking about the stares. The behviour and how you are treated is different. Indian schools should include in their curriculum about other cultures and teach the kids about the social etiquette, and how to be a global citizen. I lived in 5 countries.When I was studying outside India, I met a Nigerian guy who studied his Engineering degree in India. He is a big fan of Lata Mangeshkar and Rajanikath. He has good collections of Hindi songs which he listens almost everyday. But he said being a black is not easy. During his college days in India, when he used to enter into his class, the other students used to stare and laugh at him (probably because of his looks, skin color). A couple of other black people I interacted said the same things. Btw, I lived in 5 countries and I could see the difference.
@@krishnak7 well, I'm currently living in US and my experience says otherwise. You might have never seen how they get cautious around a brown skin with a beard. It's because of the Indian diaspora rapidly spreading across the world, people are getting used to seeing brown skins more. The same will happen in India, if foreigners start coming to India. Lack of familiarity with the unknown cultures drives them to act like that.

@@shiningstone6771 Nah, I am talking about black people, bcoz some black people face racism in india. Specially in north india. So if they want to live in india, they should choose southern part of india. I think North indian are most racist and worst people of our country. We NE people also face racisim in north.
I arrived in England in 1968 from India. Whenever I go there, people stare at me, like they just know that I don’t live there. People in India have a sixth sense, they can recognise a foreigner straight away. It is not prejudice, just instinct and curious nature.
This sixth sense regarding foreigners extends to foreign locations, I can look at a pic or a few seconds of footage and know immediately whether it is in India or not. It's quite strange actually.
During my holiday in India I was often told that I look like Indians and yet I’m not Indian. I was asked many questions, including personal ones. I didn’t answer the questions that were too personal. Indians and their descendants in the diaspora always want to know the details. Skin color still plays an important role today, just like the caste system. The Hindustani community in my native country also has these ugly qualities.
@@parulsinha3092 nothing strange about it really. If you see clean streets lined up by trees, less people, empty spaces, then that means you are not seeing India. It is that simple.
Cursing teachers is big No, teacher is treated with respect in Indian culture. At same time teacher is supposed to know her or his subject very well, have high moral values, act like a role model for children in both professional and personal life.
@@puresoul6564 Teacher crush was unheard or 0.0001 percent in total population earlier,kind of very rare. in last 10 to 20 or even prior to that , years lot of media content has been created on this topic, putting thoughts and ideas in heads of both teachers as well as students, so you see young teachers proposing students in colleges , so young students crushing on teachers, also lot of non Indian origin media content has this theme and that has influenced young minds big time, but that is not ancient culture of India. Check KBC kids, how much they talk about crushes and crush etc, on other fellow students and teachers. Media makes things insane. Things are there but they amplify it too much and exaggerate it.
Well cursing is present but that's private, within the students, outside and all. Definitely not on the face or directly in any way because teachers have considerable powers here and the family culture mandates obeying to elders.
@@user-rx9ph2ew2z Actually i watched some korean indian visit vlogs on youtube. I have seen most of our indian people was friendly, helpful and treated them well. They liked india.
If a student curses a teacher directly to their face here in india, first of all that student is gonna get beaten by the teacher and declared a delinquent. Then the parents will be called and the student will once again get a severe beating from the parents. Respect to teachers is a huge part of our culture.
Mathru devo bhava, Pithru devo bhava, Acharya devo bhava, Athidhi devo bhava. Not sure about how many enforce the last one, the first three is still valued.
@@MaxChernov Lol it depends on the school. In more traditional or government schools the teacher could beat the student up. Of course not like punches and kicks but some slaps and perhaps stick on the hand. Or there are other conventional punishments as well. I personally have tested the stick on my hand multiple times during school.
@@MaxChernovI am not sure about present day but back in early 2000 when I was in school it was common to get beaten by Teachers. They would often beat with bamboo sticks and wooden ruler, will also make you kneel outside the class.
@@MaxChernovThese days in cities its rare to get beaten by teachers, but till 5-10 yrs back it was very normal to get 'disciplined' like this. Rural schools still do it. And by beating it's not like your bones will break or anything, it's within the boundaries of course.
What a nice confident cool woman... she is enjoying her life ... doesn't care about stereotypes or prejudices Hope she continues to have a great time here

Indian living in Sweden. Literally everything getting delivered including services is something I miss mostly. Bangalore is different level when it comes to delivering services at your door step. People don't realize this until they step out of comfort zone. Especially when it is cold or snowing I miss it the most 🙃
Stareing can be common is India but if a rickshaw driver is stareing while you are standing on footpath that means he is looking for a signal whether you want to take the ride or not 🙂
I think they might have done slight head up or eyebrow up thing too but maybe she didn't notice. All the rickshaw driver do that even with us, they look and someone they only stare and we understand and nod head in no and they move on
Auto drivers would probably be happy to see a foreigner because it would be the best chance for him to ask for more money to give a ride to a foreigner.
India itself is so diverse, if you go state to state people changes and their skin colour, food , culture, nature and everything. And there are so many Indian tribes are black even have African tribe 'Siddhi' . Even Indians when they go like if someone from East go to the west or south or even north they treat like foreigners specially if you don't the language 😅.
@@msdadsfsx It does change mildly from state to state for e.g. the color of gujaratis as compared to karnatakians. Also, the color changes drastically after you cross a few states going vertically from north to south for e.g. the color of north vs. south Indians i.e. the color of kashmiris and punjabis as opposed to tamilians and keralites. So he's not lying actually, it's you who are ignorant.
I really loved the whole conversation and glad to that she had good experiences in India (so far😅). I hope she collects only and only good things from India. 😊
With her attitude Channa can adapt to living in any part of the world. She has the persona to melt people with her coolness. It is cool that Mumbai is not treating her differently for her color.
Loved this interview with Channa. She was very interesting and it was great hearing her perspectives about living in Mumbai as an African American woman.
She is more disturbed due to honking, noise and road accidents in India. Unnecessary honking causes noise pollution in the environment and also adversely affects human health..
Amazing, I love seeing Black women exploring India. As an Indian it's common to see western white tourists around but never as many Black or other Brown (like Hispanic/Latin) tourists. I also know though that one bad experience in a minority group can really hurt perception so it's important for Indians to stay curious, respectful and loving to all types of tourists.
@@MaxChernovyou seem to have certain biases(negative) towards india looking at your questions as well as the specific comments which you choose to answer. Something cooking up there?
@@MaxChernov ofc, God is Great.. But, in Indian philosophical pov, It's The Mother who Introduces us to our Family, World and Gives us Basic Insight of God... Also, there are some Hindu Texts which say that *"Mother & Motherland is Greater than Heaven"*
Being an Indian, I got stared at when I travelled to South Korea which was a shocker to me. But later I realized that, the reason is simple. Most of the Asian countries are mostly comprised of a single (or a few) ethnic group. And majority of them might not have seen a person from a different ethnicity in their life times. So, if they see anyone from a different ethnicity, they unknowingly stare at them out of curiosity.
@@AshVader No. Racism is discrimination based on ones race. People who stare usually do that with pure curiosity, not to discriminate. If you go and talk to them, they would smile and be happy to talk to you back in most of the cases depending on the culture.
I have travelled to Poland, Finland, Sweden, Norway and remote parts of Italy. I wish I had Meta Ray Ban glasses, so I could record people stare and give a look at me. It's usually 5 to 15 seconds staright up stare, which made me feel like what Indians do is not abnormal (except the creepy guys who check women). Even inside McDonald's 😂 This is usually common amongst older and mid aged people. Maybe they are wondering if I am a refugee or a tourist 😂 In India I could say people are just curious, looks, dressing (what styled dress you wear, gadgets, hairstylesm etc), different sounding languages etc. Indians are dreamers, they wanna come out of the life they live (always think the grasses on the other side is green). Which makes people sometimes get lost in thoughts of how the other persons (foreigners) life is, as they expect all foreigners to be rich. So the starring is quite common in low or middle income area, as they rarely get to know or be rreinds with people abroad. Just my perspective, I might be wrong.
i am gonna explain why cows are scared in india for ignorant westerners, indis is the lodest living civilisation and when many people in the west were hunting and eating in india agriculture was in its prime and people used to drink cows milk and make stuff like cheese from it so its was regarded as a family member like westerners these make dog and cat their child😂😂also in our texts cows are considered sacred so there is not one reason for it....
See i am a north indian from Himachal pradesh, i am 6'3 and fair skinned , i recently took admission in IIT madras, the south indians there stare at me in a similar manner, and I don't judge them for doing so they are just curious to see someone who's different from them.
Loved her beautiful smile and laughter at 9.0... dint want the conversation to end... but it ended abruptly... 😬 would love to watch her full interview.... shes lovely and m sure she would make a very good friend.. lots of love from Delhi ❤
I love these interviews! It helps me a bit how to navigate in India as a foreigner as well. My husband is Indian and recently moved to India after we got married. I still have many things how to get around India and I'm relieved to hear, I'm not the only foreigner experiencing some of these things. India is amazing and it has something mysterious as well. I'm absolutely a big fan of the vegetarian food here! It absolutely amazes me every time, I try something new. Trying my best to learn Hindi as it makes communication easier with the locals. Most importantly, open mind and open heart. It's only hard for me see that there's a lot of racism towards India and Indians, I hope that will change. Hopefully I'll be able to make some female friends as well in India. I always love to watch interviews about foreigners living in India and how they experience their life here. Peace and love!
if someone stares at u, dont worry, he/she doesn't have any ill intentions. We Indian's have some kind of sixth sense, if anyone if from another country we recognize them asap. It's just the curious instinct to know which country they are from and nothing else. Few months ago when i moved to the US, ppl stared at me as well bcz they might have identified im from a diff country and usually walked up and asked what country i was from and how do I like it over here. So usually its just curious instinct of ppl. Enjoy your time
That teacher and respect thing is so true. I was never allowed to disrespect my teacher ever. None of the other kids were too. If parents get to know we talked back to our teacher or be rude parents will make sure to give their kids a core memory 😶.
She is such an amazing person. So open-minded, humble, able to view things from a perspective that tries to understand where the other person is coming from and not being judgemental about it. I really liked her!!
I think it's not skin colour but as a whole she is not one of the Indian genetics..... So for Indians she is a foreigner so people stare.... Recently I saw a group of foreigners... They were black foreigners.... Unconsciously I started staring at their clothes, braiding, hairstyle.... Then I realised it's rude to stare and i stopped
She seems to be a happy and jolly person.. infectious laughter!! Lucky students!! 😊 Staring will be mostly from previous generations… they have not seen foreigners much.. so they are very curious…
I have had a similar experience with rickshaw drivers despite being an indian. imo the rickshaw drivers are generally trying to gauge if they can get a ride. and if you are tourist , they are mostly hoping for a big ticket ride. A lot of the conversation happens in gestures and glances. so if you look back and stare back or wave they want to get the ride before any one else.

This woman has the most important thing to be successful anywhere - a right attitude!! So open, tolerant, and cheerful. Impressed!! Wish her the best. I’m writing from Dallas.
Teachers in india earns utmost respect compared to any country in the world, I did my schooling in early seventies and every morning we used to touch/bow in front of our teachers to get their blessings for the day. Today cosmopolitan cities this culture has changed but I believe it’s still there in smaller towns or village schools. I moved to Canada in early eighties and I remember white people used to stare a brown man walking on the street, may be it’s a human behaviour towards someone new for their culture. Now the time has changed. Wish you the best every time you visit india, love from Canada.
I am indian & people stare at me if i dressed out of the box or looked different. Expecially in old parts of the city. It is very uncomfortable when lots of people stare at you. So i always try to blend in, I wear clothes which are uncomfortable & i don't like(it feels suffocating) atleast its easy for me as a male, but for female it would be hell.. I can understand how a foreigner would feel.. May be better education would improve our civic sense.
THank you for the nice video - Very human, natural, sharing of experience - well done. You are both grounded, kind, candid and giving of your opinions and experience.
I must add I am so happy to see you living here. Some of us do encounter Nigerians in college or a few other areas, but having more African-origin living here and at least some becoming citizens is really good.
Living in India is a unique experience with a welcoming community. It's common for people to ask if you're from Nigeria due to a sizable and friendly Nigerian population. Hollywood's portrayals sometimes lead to amusing assumptions, but it's heartening to see people appreciating our rich cultural diversity. Embracing it makes our connections even more special! 🌍🤝 #GlobalFamily #CulturalDiversity #IndiaExperience

People in India are really curious when they see someone from outside, they mean no harm and are genuinely friendly/welcoming. You would find amazing diversity in India in every aspect.
Regarding "going dutch", when dating during college times, couples usually split the bill.. It is called TTMM in Mumbai and Maharashtra. TTMM = Tuze tu, Maze mi (Hindi : Tera tu, mera main; English : Yours' by you, Mine by me). Almost always, the kids in Mumbai usually go TTMM..
She has such a vibrant, happy energy about her. Im so glad she is enjoying teaching in India. Indian students are usually quite diligent, obedient & respectful of both education & educators. Overall loved listening to this wonderful person & especially loved her hearty laugh. About being stared at - yeah - its going to be hard to get away from that. But generally Indians do realize that they may offend the person they are staring at. Just read the moment, if you feel safe, smile & they will smile back. If you feel uncomfortable, soldier on like you know exactly what you are doing & they will back off.
Seeing a foreigner in India always kickstarts thoughts. You don't get that in New York because like she said it is very diverse in culture and you can say that to most cities in NY. If you go to deep US south you might get stares if your ethnicity is not common there.
Interesting interview coz I always wanted to know opinions and experiences of African Americans who visit India; more so from a New Yorker in Bombay. It's crazy how many similarities New York and Bombay have or have had be it culture, history, evolution etc. of course in terms of sheer scale Bombay was and is way behind. Walking around parts of Manhattan just takes me back to my childhood and youth days in Bombay be it the now fading taxi (not rickshaw) culture, the tiny bars, many restaurants, the architecture, the cosmopolitism, the liberal lifestyle, the distinct styles and tradition of each neighborhood, the street food that get the 'city style', the hustle and local train commute, the industrial areas being gentrified, the mafia history, the town and suburb divide (not anymore), the tenements & chawl history, the apartment culture, the red light districts etc
@@dOVERanalyst so is the highcourt of madras, calcatta, bangalore. b;ut yu call these cities by their current name then why call Mumbai as Bombay. shows ur attitude.. We all know the history of the our Mumbai...
I understand, that staring can get extremely annoying sometimes but I can bet that is because of curiosity only. Nigerians are famous because they sometimes indulge in illegal activity and make news, Indians are still not exposed to the world so they make their opinion based on limited information. It will change rapidly in the coming 20 years since India is on the verge of becoming one of the economic superpowers.
Ngl Nigerians are recognised mostly cause there are lots of Nigerians in india especially in delhi and goa. I actually have an mixed race indian nigerian friend in school too he's father is nigerian so ye that why many Nigerians are in india
In India teachers are like parents. Sikhsha meaning knowledge is the essence of Indian culture. Teachers who show us path, who give us meaning through knowledge we always keep close to our hearts and the head always bows. That is the Indian way
Chama, love your attitude ❤ Its surprising to see that you have only lived here for 6 months! You are absolutely going to be someone who lives here for ever!

Teachers are GOD in Hinduism which is in Indian culture for all Indians. So, respect is obvious. Teacher must also behave worthy of this status & do a great job.
Buddy it never matters for us to know how much money do you make. The only thing that matters to us is what is the message that you pass on through your videos.😊
As economy of India grows in the next 30 years, the cultural dominance will increase exponentially around the world. Already 'namaste' is a regular greeting around the world.
Not just a foreigner- go the slums or to to the village and you are dressed differently but fortunately more often than not , it just communicates that your difference is noticeable and acknowledged-that is all there is to it.
Sorry sir, but I think you took it wrong because here in our country India we consider every foreigner as our guest and yes we stare at any foreigner beacuse we are curious to know about them and their country okay. we don't judge any individual by their color.. So don't spread misinformation about India.. all the countries have their own kind of discrimination and I think this type of discrimination based on color is more prevalent in USA like countries. So please don't just don't spread false rumors about India 🙏
I'm going to India in October and have seen a UA-cam video where a black muslim traveler from Australia claims India is racist to the core. I know Indians value light skin just like Africa-Americans have always done, but your interview with this intelligent black woman (Channa Comer) is very enlightening and I more than ever look forward to my frist trip to India. Thanks for sharing.
In India, staring might be considered normal, but in western countries it is interpreted as rude/aggressive. Obviously if a foreigner is in India, they will just have to get used to it, and equally if an Indian travels to the west and is absentmindedly staring at people, be careful as it could be interpreted negatively.
Staring is Indian habit. Not rude. We stare at Indians too. We stare deep into your soul. And past it.😅 If you're a foreigner we stare more as we are curious. This must be mandatory info by immigration once you enter India.😅😅😅
About staring ... people come from lower income state to work in big cities and they dont see much of foreigner in there and india is diverse but not on skin color ...almost all are brown ... if you are black or white people will notice... 😂😂
People stare here, just because they are not used this, as foreigner living in India,as they just kind of curious.its just surprising for them because its not mostly norml in India ,they dont know that other people may feel bad,beacuse of it🙂

So if they want to live in india, they should choose southern part of india. I think North indian are most racist and worst people of our country. We NE people also face racisim in north.
So you work there? What jobs can an American have living in India?
@@rupaschannel5856not for other Indians like Biharis though
I arrived in England in 1968 from India. Whenever I go there, people stare at me, like they just know that I don’t live there. People in India have a sixth sense, they can recognise a foreigner straight away. It is not prejudice, just instinct and curious nature.
Agree, totally 😄
Quite right. Nothing offensive, just curious as to who they are and where they are from, though others might feel little uncomfortable.
This sixth sense regarding foreigners extends to foreign locations, I can look at a pic or a few seconds of footage and know immediately whether it is in India or not. It's quite strange actually.
During my holiday in India I was often told that I look like Indians and yet I’m not Indian. I was asked many questions, including personal ones. I didn’t answer the questions that were too personal. Indians and their descendants in the diaspora always want to know the details. Skin color still plays an important role today, just like the caste system. The Hindustani community in my native country also has these ugly qualities.
@@parulsinha3092 nothing strange about it really. If you see clean streets lined up by trees, less people, empty spaces, then that means you are not seeing India. It is that simple.
Cursing teachers is big No, teacher is treated with respect in Indian culture.
At same time teacher is supposed to know her or his subject very well, have high moral values, act like a role model for children in both professional and personal life.
And then there is teacher crush 😮
@@puresoul6564 Teacher crush was unheard or 0.0001 percent in total population earlier,kind of very rare.
in last 10 to 20 or even prior to that , years lot of media content has been created on this topic, putting thoughts and ideas in heads of both teachers as well as students,
so you see young teachers proposing students in colleges , so young students crushing on teachers, also lot of non Indian origin media content has this theme and that has influenced young minds big time,
but that is not ancient culture of India.
Check KBC kids, how much they talk about crushes and crush etc, on other fellow students and teachers. Media makes things insane. Things are there but they amplify it too much and exaggerate it.
Well cursing is present but that's private, within the students, outside and all. Definitely not on the face or directly in any way because teachers have considerable powers here and the family culture mandates obeying to elders.
Pichwada todd dete hai teacher agr curse kiya to
Yea most teachers are india are only teachers cuz they cant find better jobs . And they are toxic and also beat children.
I'm from South Korea 🇰🇷when I visited India the people were so honest and kind to me i really love India 🇮🇳❤❤❤❤
But you ban indians out there and treat them bad.
No Koreans hate indian. And so do we. Boycott K drama & k pop
@@user-rx9ph2ew2z Actually i watched some korean indian visit vlogs on youtube. I have seen most of our indian people was friendly, helpful and treated them well. They liked india.
@@rupaschannel5856but most Indians hated Korea when they visited South Korea for the first time. Their racism towards Hindus are insane.
This is a bot account that leaves comments like these in every video @@rupaschannel5856
If a student curses a teacher directly to their face here in india, first of all that student is gonna get beaten by the teacher and declared a delinquent. Then the parents will be called and the student will once again get a severe beating from the parents. Respect to teachers is a huge part of our culture.
are you joking about the "beaten by the teacher" part?
Mathru devo bhava, Pithru devo bhava, Acharya devo bhava, Athidhi devo bhava. Not sure about how many enforce the last one, the first three is still valued.
@@MaxChernov Lol it depends on the school. In more traditional or government schools the teacher could beat the student up. Of course not like punches and kicks but some slaps and perhaps stick on the hand. Or there are other conventional punishments as well. I personally have tested the stick on my hand multiple times during school.
@@MaxChernovI am not sure about present day but back in early 2000 when I was in school it was common to get beaten by Teachers. They would often beat with bamboo sticks and wooden ruler, will also make you kneel outside the class.
@@MaxChernovThese days in cities its rare to get beaten by teachers, but till 5-10 yrs back it was very normal to get 'disciplined' like this. Rural schools still do it. And by beating it's not like your bones will break or anything, it's within the boundaries of course.
What a nice confident cool woman...

Indian living in Sweden. Literally everything getting delivered including services is something I miss mostly. Bangalore is different level when it comes to delivering services at your door step. People don't realize this until they step out of comfort zone. Especially when it is cold or snowing I miss it the most 🙃

Stareing can be common is India but if a rickshaw driver is stareing while you are standing on footpath that means he is looking for a signal whether you want to take the ride or not 🙂
I think they might have done slight head up or eyebrow up thing too but maybe she didn't notice. All the rickshaw driver do that even with us, they look and someone they only stare and we understand and nod head in no and they move on
@@Phoenix.219 ya correct.
Chaman hain ye dono - expecting racial stares and therefore interpreting bhada stare as racial stare
Auto drivers would probably be happy to see a foreigner because it would be the best chance for him to ask for more money to give a ride to a foreigner.
True 😂
As a School Teacher she is much safer in India than in US 😅trust me 😂
🔫 🔫 😅
You are so beautiful lady ❤
India itself is so diverse, if you go state to state people changes and their skin colour, food , culture, nature and everything. And there are so many Indian tribes are black even have African tribe 'Siddhi' . Even Indians when they go like if someone from East go to the west or south or even north they treat like foreigners specially if you don't the language 😅.
No skin colour doesn't change from state to state.. thoda Kam phek
@@msdadsfsx It does change mildly from state to state for e.g. the color of gujaratis as compared to karnatakians. Also, the color changes drastically after you cross a few states going vertically from north to south for e.g. the color of north vs. south Indians i.e. the color of kashmiris and punjabis as opposed to tamilians and keralites. So he's not lying actually, it's you who are ignorant.

I really loved the whole conversation and glad to that she had good experiences in India (so far😅). I hope she collects only and only good things from India. 😊
With her attitude Channa can adapt to living in any part of the world. She has the persona to melt people with her coolness. It is cool that Mumbai is not treating her differently for her color.
Loved this interview with Channa. She was very interesting and it was great hearing her perspectives about living in Mumbai as an African American woman.
She is more disturbed due to honking, noise and road accidents in India.
Unnecessary honking causes noise pollution in the environment and also adversely affects human health..
Except that she took her NYC with her to Mumbai.
Perhaps soon she will start walking around the streets of Mumbai to see what it's like.
She seems so sweet! Glad she's fitting right in Mumbai ❤
I want to visit India. I actually want to live in India and this makes me feel strongly about it
You are most welcome
Amazing, I love seeing Black women exploring India. As an Indian it's common to see western white tourists around but never as many Black or other Brown (like Hispanic/Latin) tourists. I also know though that one bad experience in a minority group can really hurt perception so it's important for Indians to stay curious, respectful and loving to all types of tourists.
Being a teacher in india by foreigners, it feels like perfect and overwhelmed . you will feel that students are hunger for knowledge( Like Want more).
In India we are taught to respect our elders in this order :
Matha (Mother)
Pitha (Father)
Guru (Teacher)
Deivam (God)
Mother is number 1 or 4?
@@MaxChernov Mother is positioned first, followed by Father, then Guru, and finally, God.
@@MaxChernov 1 to 4 everything is equal ..
@@MaxChernovyou seem to have certain biases(negative) towards india looking at your questions as well as the specific comments which you choose to answer. Something cooking up there?
@@MaxChernov
ofc, God is Great.. But, in Indian philosophical pov, It's The Mother who Introduces us to our Family, World and Gives us Basic Insight of God...
Also, there are some Hindu Texts which say that
*"Mother & Motherland is Greater than Heaven"*
Being an Indian, I got stared at when I travelled to South Korea which was a shocker to me. But later I realized that, the reason is simple. Most of the Asian countries are mostly comprised of a single (or a few) ethnic group. And majority of them might not have seen a person from a different ethnicity in their life times. So, if they see anyone from a different ethnicity, they unknowingly stare at them out of curiosity.
are they racist? coz so many people are calling them out nowadays
@@AshVader No. Racism is discrimination based on ones race. People who stare usually do that with pure curiosity, not to discriminate. If you go and talk to them, they would smile and be happy to talk to you back in most of the cases depending on the culture.
South Korea is damn racist
I have travelled to Poland, Finland, Sweden, Norway and remote parts of Italy. I wish I had Meta Ray Ban glasses, so I could record people stare and give a look at me. It's usually 5 to 15 seconds staright up stare, which made me feel like what Indians do is not abnormal (except the creepy guys who check women). Even inside McDonald's 😂
This is usually common amongst older and mid aged people. Maybe they are wondering if I am a refugee or a tourist 😂
In India I could say people are just curious, looks, dressing (what styled dress you wear, gadgets, hairstylesm etc), different sounding languages etc. Indians are dreamers, they wanna come out of the life they live (always think the grasses on the other side is green). Which makes people sometimes get lost in thoughts of how the other persons (foreigners) life is, as they expect all foreigners to be rich. So the starring is quite common in low or middle income area, as they rarely get to know or be rreinds with people abroad.
Just my perspective, I might be wrong.
Very true !
I am india I can your are senseless observe and you are senseless man
No you are spot on.
Somewhat true for old citizen of country
i am gonna explain why cows are scared in india for ignorant westerners, indis is the lodest living civilisation and when many people in the west were hunting and eating in india agriculture was in its prime and people used to drink cows milk and make stuff like cheese from it so its was regarded as a family member like westerners these make dog and cat their child😂😂also in our texts cows are considered sacred so there is not one reason for it....
See i am a north indian from Himachal pradesh, i am 6'3 and fair skinned , i recently took admission in IIT madras, the south indians there stare at me in a similar manner, and I don't judge them for doing so they are just curious to see someone who's different from them.
She doesn't look like she's 6'3, but I could be wrong...

Yesssss true😂
Her laughter is contagious.
What a Sweet Person, Thank You Max for these interviews with real people.
This Lady is beautiful outside and inside. I absolutely love her confidence and positive attitude. Does she have a blog?
Loved her beautiful smile and laughter at 9.0... dint want the conversation to end... but it ended abruptly... 😬 would love to watch her full interview.... shes lovely and m sure she would make a very good friend.. lots of love from Delhi ❤
She seems very nice and self-possesed. Happy she is in India teaching children.
I love these interviews! It helps me a bit how to navigate in India as a foreigner as well. My husband is Indian and recently moved to India after we got married. I still have many things how to get around India and I'm relieved to hear, I'm not the only foreigner experiencing some of these things. India is amazing and it has something mysterious as well. I'm absolutely a big fan of the vegetarian food here! It absolutely amazes me every time, I try something new. Trying my best to learn Hindi as it makes communication easier with the locals. Most importantly, open mind and open heart. It's only hard for me see that there's a lot of racism towards India and Indians, I hope that will change. Hopefully I'll be able to make some female friends as well in India. I always love to watch interviews about foreigners living in India and how they experience their life here. Peace and love!
if someone stares at u, dont worry, he/she doesn't have any ill intentions. We Indian's have some kind of sixth sense, if anyone if from another country we recognize them asap. It's just the curious instinct to know which country they are from and nothing else. Few months ago when i moved to the US, ppl stared at me as well bcz they might have identified im from a diff country and usually walked up and asked what country i was from and how do I like it over here. So usually its just curious instinct of ppl. Enjoy your time
That teacher and respect thing is so true. I was never allowed to disrespect my teacher ever. None of the other kids were too. If parents get to know we talked back to our teacher or be rude parents will make sure to give their kids a core memory 😶.
She is such an amazing person. So open-minded, humble, able to view things from a perspective that tries to understand where the other person is coming from and not being judgemental about it. I really liked her!!
she is a very humble lady with a very positive attitude towards life
If skin colour is on extremes like way too fair or way too dark people will stare. Similarly with clothing.
She has similar to us South Indian.
tbf rickshaw drivers only stare at people to know if wanna take a ride to someplace
Nehh!! Whn I goes to different village people stares at me. It's normal.
I think it's not skin colour but as a whole she is not one of the Indian genetics.....
So for Indians she is a foreigner so people stare....
Recently I saw a group of foreigners... They were black foreigners.... Unconsciously I started staring at their clothes, braiding, hairstyle....
Then I realised it's rude to stare and i stopped
That laugh is contagious. Indians are not used to laughing like that.
Please, I know Indians that laugh like whales
Her laugh is really contagious, but Indians are more emotional and jovial like she is.
Lol who says that. We all are used to that. Just sit with a Punjabi family and experience yourself this is just 1 example 🤣🫴😊
😂 who told you? My aunt laugh like that. Did you watch Kapil Sharma show, there archana laughs like that😂
Who told you friend?
She seems to be a happy and jolly person.. infectious laughter!! Lucky students!! 😊
Staring will be mostly from previous generations… they have not seen foreigners much.. so they are very curious…
I have had a similar experience with rickshaw drivers despite being an indian. imo the rickshaw drivers are generally trying to gauge if they can get a ride. and if you are tourist , they are mostly hoping for a big ticket ride. A lot of the conversation happens in gestures and glances. so if you look back and stare back or wave they want to get the ride before any one else.
This is very wholesome. Thanks so much for sharing, we need more of this…

"Going Dutch" means splitting the bill.

We Indians don’t care about race. People here are curious about foreigners.
It's because there are a lot of african students in India are From mostly African countries like Nigeria, South Sudan... There are atleast a 50+ students in my area Who study engineering in NIT , mostly are from Sudan atleast in the city i live..
Yes you are right. Because who in their right mind think that someone from the US will want to work and live in India. So don't treat that question as offensive but rather reflecting the reality of their city and country that they have built for themselves.

This woman has the most important thing to be successful anywhere - a right attitude!! So open, tolerant, and cheerful. Impressed!! Wish her the best. I’m writing from Dallas.
Teachers in india earns utmost respect compared to any country in the world, I did my schooling in early seventies and every morning we used to touch/bow in front of our teachers to get their blessings for the day. Today cosmopolitan cities this culture has changed but I believe it’s still there in smaller towns or village schools. I moved to Canada in early eighties and I remember white people used to stare a brown man walking on the street, may be it’s a human behaviour towards someone new for their culture. Now the time has changed. Wish you the best every time you visit india, love from Canada.
HER LAUGH IS LOVELY.. AND YEAH SHE MUST BE GOOD TEACHER
9:23 Funny how similarly Americans or Europeans will assume every brown person to be an Indian 😄
Nice vid Max(as always) ❤😄
Really enjoyed the conversation! 😁
I am indian & people stare at me if i dressed out of the box or looked different. Expecially in old parts of the city.
It is very uncomfortable when lots of people stare at you. So i always try to blend in, I wear clothes which are uncomfortable & i don't like(it feels suffocating) atleast its easy for me as a male, but for female it would be hell.. I can understand how a foreigner would feel..
May be better education would improve our civic sense.
It's not about the colour and race
If you are foreigners you are celebrity for Indian people
😊
Our nature are just heartwarming ❤️❤️😎
People you bring up for the interview are so cool.
THank you for the nice video - Very human, natural, sharing of experience - well done.
You are both grounded, kind, candid and giving of your opinions and experience.
I didnt realise at first but her voice is incredibly soothing
This women is a walking W, why can't we have more people like her.
It's great that u r bringing almost unfiltered opinions on this channel, as a society we should know how we treat others & reflect upon ourselves.
I must add I am so happy to see you living here. Some of us do encounter Nigerians in college or a few other areas, but having more African-origin living here and at least some becoming citizens is really good.
Living in India is a unique experience with a welcoming community. It's common for people to ask if you're from Nigeria due to a sizable and friendly Nigerian population. Hollywood's portrayals sometimes lead to amusing assumptions, but it's heartening to see people appreciating our rich cultural diversity. Embracing it makes our connections even more special! 🌍🤝 #GlobalFamily #CulturalDiversity #IndiaExperience
I love this woman. Her laugh reminds me of a friend I had in university when I was in the US.
This video was in my suggestions and I just wanted to watch it in fast forward but there is something special with Ms.Channa, her way of interaction and talking, such a joyous person.I couldn't resist to watch the full video.
Mother, Father, Teacher and Guests are considered Gods by Hindus.. So of course, a teacher is going to be respected in India by the students.
Guests are also treated fine in other cultures as well except for the white west. They don't have much of this guesting culture.
Nonsense.
Not considered but it means to be treated respectfully

People in India are really curious when they see someone from outside, they mean no harm and are genuinely friendly/welcoming. You would find amazing diversity in India in every aspect.
Thank you for speaking abt the cows in such a loving way. Its heartwarming x
Channa what an incredibly beautiful brilliant light you exude! Thank youfor sharing your experiences and perspectives.
Regarding "going dutch", when dating during college times, couples usually split the bill.. It is called TTMM in Mumbai and Maharashtra. TTMM = Tuze tu, Maze mi (Hindi : Tera tu, mera main; English : Yours' by you, Mine by me).
Almost always, the kids in Mumbai usually go TTMM..
Going Dutch is good as per Indian philosophy as well, it doesn’t add any unnecessary give and take in relationship.

Very nice and beautiful conversation. She looked calm and more matured.
She has such a vibrant, happy energy about her. Im so glad she is enjoying teaching in India. Indian students are usually quite diligent, obedient & respectful of both education & educators. Overall loved listening to this wonderful person & especially loved her hearty laugh. About being stared at - yeah - its going to be hard to get away from that. But generally Indians do realize that they may offend the person they are staring at. Just read the moment, if you feel safe, smile & they will smile back. If you feel uncomfortable, soldier on like you know exactly what you are doing & they will back off.
Wishing her all the best.She seems like a cool person.Enjoy your stay
Seeing a foreigner in India always kickstarts thoughts. You don't get that in New York because like she said it is very diverse in culture and you can say that to most cities in NY. If you go to deep US south you might get stares if your ethnicity is not common there.
Superb Max best teacher experience about India
Interesting interview coz I always wanted to know opinions and experiences of African Americans who visit India; more so from a New Yorker in Bombay. It's crazy how many similarities New York and Bombay have or have had be it culture, history, evolution etc. of course in terms of sheer scale Bombay was and is way behind. Walking around parts of Manhattan just takes me back to my childhood and youth days in Bombay be it the now fading taxi (not rickshaw) culture, the tiny bars, many restaurants, the architecture, the cosmopolitism, the liberal lifestyle, the distinct styles and tradition of each neighborhood, the street food that get the 'city style', the hustle and local train commute, the industrial areas being gentrified, the mafia history, the town and suburb divide (not anymore), the tenements & chawl history, the apartment culture, the red light districts etc

The lady here could actually pass for an Indian. I am from the south and I think she will not be stared at as much here
I understand, that staring can get extremely annoying sometimes but I can bet that is because of curiosity only.
Nigerians are famous because they sometimes indulge in illegal activity and make news, Indians are still not exposed to the world so they make their opinion based on limited information.
It will change rapidly in the coming 20 years since India is on the verge of becoming one of the economic superpowers.

In India teachers are like parents. Sikhsha meaning knowledge is the essence of Indian culture. Teachers who show us path, who give us meaning through knowledge we always keep close to our hearts and the head always bows. That is the Indian way
Chama, love your attitude ❤ Its surprising to see that you have only lived here for 6 months! You are absolutely going to be someone who lives here for ever!
Cutoff too soon!! We wanted to hear a lot more what she has to say about her job and work experience dealing with kids and especially the parents in an Indian Professional sense. Is there a part two continuing on the same???
no part two - Max Chernov proceeded to a non-dutch date with Tina the cat
Yes I agree it was too short
Her observation and analyses were to the point, great lady !!
Teachers are GOD in Hinduism which is in Indian culture for all Indians. So, respect is obvious. Teacher must also behave worthy of this status & do a great job.
Great example of teacher as god
Some of my fellow Indians trying to say that India isn't racist, but I can assure you India is one of the most racist country. Accept the reality.
Buddy it never matters for us to know how much money do you make.
The only thing that matters to us is what is the message that you pass on through your videos.😊
As economy of India grows in the next 30 years, the cultural dominance will increase exponentially around the world. Already 'namaste' is a regular greeting around the world.
Not just a foreigner- go the slums or to to the village and you are dressed differently but fortunately more often than not , it just communicates that your difference is noticeable and acknowledged-that is all there is to it.
What a fascinating documentary I enjoyed very much and also love the lady being interviewed.. she has guts to do what she has. Thanks for the upload.
Sorry sir, but I think you took it wrong because here in our country India we consider every foreigner as our guest and yes we stare at any foreigner beacuse we are curious to know about them and their country okay. we don't judge any individual by their color.. So don't spread misinformation about India.. all the countries have their own kind of discrimination and I think this type of discrimination based on color is more prevalent in USA like countries. So please don't just don't spread false rumors about India 🙏
I'm going to India in October and have seen a UA-cam video where a black muslim traveler from Australia claims India is racist to the core. I know Indians value light skin just like Africa-Americans have always done, but your interview with this intelligent black woman (Channa Comer) is very enlightening and I more than ever look forward to my frist trip to India. Thanks for sharing.
I love these series , pls continue , and try to honest , not try to follow views

That peacock feather gives extra indian touch.❤
great interview
I really loved this video ❤ She is amazing
What i learned is black people have lots of sense of humour
Lots of love from Srilanka ❤
In India, staring might be considered normal, but in western countries it is interpreted as rude/aggressive. Obviously if a foreigner is in India, they will just have to get used to it, and equally if an Indian travels to the west and is absentmindedly staring at people, be careful as it could be interpreted negatively.
🎉🎉🎉🕉️❤🇮🇳🎉🎉🎉 Awesome insights. Thank you 🙏
🤩Incredible India.
Staring is Indian habit. Not rude. We stare at Indians too. We stare deep into your soul. And past it.😅
If you're a foreigner we stare more as we are curious.
This must be mandatory info by immigration once you enter India.😅😅😅

About staring ... people come from lower income state to work in big cities and they dont see much of foreigner in there and india is diverse but not on skin color ...almost all are brown ... if you are black or white people will notice... 😂😂
Exactly.
How do you define black - I'm darker than her - and I'm Indian
People stare here, just because they are not used this, as foreigner living in India,as they just kind of curious.its just surprising for them because its not mostly norml in India ,they dont know that other people may feel bad,beacuse of it🙂
