I came to the US for my undergrad and I am from Bangladesh. During my undergrad I realized that most of my good friends were from India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, China, Africa and very few were actually Americans (Caucasians). I was also more attracted to white women and I wanted to date them; but I was often just ignored by them or looked down upon. It was awful, I continued to study hard, I got a good job in a reputed firm in Silicon Valley and moved to the bay area. Here I was able to move away from the corrupt background where I grew up and I found a lot more opportunities in the valley to network with top VCs and top engineers. Now I am on my way to starting my own company with my friends and past colleagues and I feel I can contribute a lot to the world. I am 31 and I still do not have a girl friend as I am still stereotyped by women and being brown with an accent does not help :P
Now I have the opportunity to achieve something in my life and share my experiences with the world with the hope that next generation is more kind to people from poor countries. It definitely helps to have girlfriend for emotional and physical needs. But racism is still present and affects dating also it is harder for men than it is for women. Unfortunately, being a brown male with an accent is just hard. You should continue to work hard and make a good career for yourself, do things that please you and make you happy. Happiness is contagious. If you are truly happy and passionate about what you are doing, its very likely you will be successful and attract women, money and much better personal life.
This is one of my favorite songs, listen to it when you are down:
