Most North Indians are, indeed, Caucasian. South Indians are largely Dravidian. Some Pakistanis ̣including Patels are Dravidian. Some are IndoEuropean/Caucasian.

(Someone here informed me that Indians are considered to be Caucasian; they aren’t — unless you’re color blind.)

Technically, any ethnic group that scores above the black average on any test of IQ or academic achievement is officially designated as white or white adjacent. This includes Romulans, Klingons and Vulcans. This is how the DEI sorting cap works.

S hole people make s holes. Just stay in a Patel photo hotel. They are all dumps.

Motels, not hotels. Big difference.

.

That may have been me.

They’re Caucasians for The U.S. Census purposes.

Anthropologically, their skulls are Caucasoid; meaning, not African nor Asian...

1) Retired, I make a “migration” of a typical snowbird. Nearly every motel overnight involves a “Patel”. Sometimes, the boss and an underling are both Patels.

2) A relative was in the airline reservation business. She said Patels drove her crazy with coupons, discounts, and cancelations.

Then what are they? Certainly not Negroid or Mongoloid...

I asked the same question. Apparently, it has to do with the skeletal structure and not skin color>

FReeper “Does so” explained it to me this way:

“Anthropologically, their skulls are Caucasoid; meaning, not African nor Asian...”
