You know I was about to say something snarky, but as I sat down and thought about it, I realized Indian people have a very difficult deck to play in the west. Both male and female are tough sells to noninidians.
I cannot think of a single positive stereotype to help them in the dating arena. they also don't have traditional attractive celebrities in the West for westerners to relate to. Interracial dating is often a game of associations since both parties don't have much information to go off of, so I think this harms Indians
Like off the top of my head if I were to think of a famous Indian woman, Mindy kaling is the first thing that came to my mind, and she isn't exactly a stunner. Honest to God I cannot think of an Indian Lucy Liu or Marilyn Monroe or salma Hayak or beyonce or Sofia Vergara.
Ironically, as racist as the culture is alot of them f/w black guys low key. The reasons vary, but half of them wont tell their family and cut it off, and the other half will want long term. But they're not really on most brehs radar which is related to what you said. I think it's the sex appeal is lacking for the most part and that's probably why.
