There are racists in every community, and many who don't like blacks also hate Indians.
In fact even in NJ I have heard lots of "curry jokes" about Edison and surrounding neighborhoods. ALL of this from whites, who swear that they prefer middle class blacks, as at least they don't "smell up the neighborhood".
Kal Penn in fact describes much racism that he has faced. You know he has a harder time getting acting roles than do many blacks, and this is a common lament from Asian American actors.
But why do house prices fall when Blacks move in? The proof is in the pudding. When Indians move in, the prices go up. This is the fact. Check Edison prices pre Indian and now and you will see for your self. You wouldn't know this from a section 8 rent controlled apartment in Brooklyn, you have to get out more to experience the world.
