I'm white and my husband is British Indian. Back in 2010 now before we were married he got a few rental rejects, one specifically mentioned the curry issue. He's never cooked a curry in his life. I just want to give him a hug when these things happen, it's awful.

I'm a white canuck, and love curry and other hot spices.

I feel like if I ever rent there, I should invite you guys over, the use the opportunity to cook curry.

Even if we just eat steaks, and I put the curry in the fridge for later, your husband will likely get the blame.

It would be an interesting test/data point. Does the landlord approach me, and say no more Indian guests?

Plus, at least you guys get a free meal out of it.
