I don’t know if I would recommend it necessarily and saying this is an Indian living in America.

Indian Americans are no means more forward thinking than other communities, they just have different things they would be nosy about, for example many parents would disapprove of American boyfriends and even some Indian ones from different caste or communities.

While i agree in part with your generalization about Indian parents, issues of caste have come down a lot over the past 75 odd years...

I cannot speak of (or for) the indo-american community though, given that most of my life experiences have been in large cities, but amongst fairly diverse strata of society.

yes homogeneity brings higher levels of trust. people just talk to each other, going to law enforcement isn't the first instict.

Depending on your ingroup, espousing this opinion can ruin your life and career in the US. It is true regardless, as measured by numerous and repeated studies.

A tight community breeds abuse coverups when people in power abuse the weak (children), because the weak have nowhere to go for help.
