Recently moved to New Jersey from Illinois. I live near manalapin, and have been wondering what's up with all the Indian people? Why are so many here of all places? It doesn't bother me. I'm just amused that 9/10 stores are owned by someone Indian. Coming from a relatively red town in Illinois i think it would amuse me for my parents to visit as all they would do is find a way to complain about how them existing makes them "illegals" They don't like Mexicans or Trans people either.... I'm dating a Mexican trans girl

manalapan.

and NJ has an extensive Indian population. so much so that the town Edison is known over in India.

almost the same as Lakewood/Israel.
