Happens to me all the time, and I'm white and live in the US. Maybe you just look unfriendly? I always assume that's why people avoid sitting near me...but then again people I've never talked to before from various classes have no problem approaching me to ask questions about the class, so I'm not so sure.
I *am* unfriendly and antisocial. Aren't we all? Seriously though, I look rather average. BTW you don't look particularly unfriendly to me.

I'm ruining your image. Lets hope not too many people read this. :) Good thing USians don't use public transport much.

Well, why would anyone downvote that? I kinda have a good guess as to who he is. Very few Indian CPians write good English with a british-slant and the fact that he's a little overly sensitive to potential racism has backed up my guess. That closely matches his character (historically speaking) :-)

Would you sit next to a foreigner in a bus or train? I look similar to Nish's profile pic, and most of the time, the place next to me is the last to be filled on public transport. I really shouldn't give a sh*t, but I've realized that I no longer sit, even if the entire f***ing carriage is vacant. Stupid Chinese / Vietnamese / Brits / French / etc (real country disguised)
If you travel on the underground in London, you'll find it doesn't matter what race you are. It's just that people on the underground are an antisocial lot.

I used to take a monthly shower like everyone else but I had to stop because Apple threatened a lawsuit. It appears my shower had a large central window, rounded corners and to access it I made a left to right swiping motion (to open the door). Their lawyers also mentioned "streaming input and output and a touch interface" but I don't think that they can actually support a patent claim on that.

If yu travel on the underground in rush hour, and the seat next to you is empty, then you worry!

Why not give them the vacant seats? Sitting in the occupied ones would be rather uncomfortable for both parties.

Consider the following... 9/11 (not having this argument again). 7/7 London 21/7 London Bali Bombings Shoe Bomber The Srinagar Bombing US Consulate Bombing in Karachi The Haifa Bus Massacre Riyadh Compound Bombings Gateway of India (Mumbai) Bombings The Glasgow Airport Attack As you see from this VERY TINY SELECTION there have been a lot of islamic terror attacks. Therefore anyone who looks even vaguely like they may be islamic is going to be viewed with suspicion. Mind you, if you do get on a train and cannot find a seat, simply pull out a prayer mat, a koran and start wailing allah akbar and you will have a whole carriage to yourself.

Didn't vote you down What do you mean by looking islamic? Does Nish look islamic? Do all indians? (I can't tell the difference between chinese and japanese or several other east asians, is it the same as that?) Anyway, I'm not (and don't think I look) islamic. I doubt this is anything to do with terror attacks. Does it matter whether you are sitting next to a bag full of semtex, or 10 feet away?

To be honest I don't want to sit next to anyone on a bus or a train. Last time I was on a plane I sat next to a woman who whipped out an iPhone and showed me over 200 pictures of her trip to France. Unfortunately, I had to leave my toe nail clippers in security so I had no way to stab myself to death.

In all honestly, to the majority of Britons(and I guess that is where you are), YES you do. I can tell the difference between an Indian and a Arab and I reckon I could even tell the difference between an Indian and a Pakistani 75% of the time. Unfortunately most people, or at least half of them would think an Indian is a Muslim. I doubt you could tell the difference between an Englishman and A French man, or even an English man and a German, whereas us white people can. I expect you could even tell what part of India someone comes from just by looking at them with reasonable accuracy?
