Dont blame it on the host country. Its your choice to make friends with people of different cultures. Nobody prevents you from talking to ppl of other cultures. Paying lakhs/crores doesnt matter at all. A lot of the Americans/Europeans are willing to accept Indians in their circle of friends. Quite a few of my Indian cousins are married to Americans, Australians, Thais, Japs and all sorts of weird mixes. They did face racism, they did find friendship and love.
