I think people needs to look from the perspective of the Indo girls,hehehe...
To these girls, Bangladeshi and Indian national Foreign workers from Singapore, Singapore-locally-born Indians from Singapore , or those Sri Lankanese etc were being mostly categorized as Indians,hehehe....
I think what the girls didnt like about Indian were their habits and not the race itself. If you are going to (or not going to) tip an overnight booking girl 2k to 4k rupiah after the whole night of booking in the next day morning, if you are going to force an overnight booking to drink alcoholic drinks even tho she says she doesnt want to anymore (she still drinks a bit to entertain but she will reject if she finds its too much for her), or if you are going to have a couple of friends who shared only one room and be sleeping together with her or be make to run errands like going to money changer to change money in small amount etc (there may be others)...then you are more likely to fall under the unfavorable category of Indians.
Above mentioned were taken from booking girls and taxi drivers i have met in Batam,hehehe...
Having said the above, while the girls may not favor the above category of Indians, the booking joint's OKTs love them,hehehe...becos most of the above category of indians were charge 30% to 100% higher than the usual normal pricing. And most of them dont bargain down. I said this becos i met 2 incidents where the Indians (Singapore foreign workers) tries to out-bid the price that my friend/s was being 1st quoted by the mami in 2 different occasions at 2 different booking joint. Meaning to say, Mami quote my friend 1.3 juta for a girl, the "indian" tells mami he's willing to pay 1.8 juta for the same girl.
In the end, my friend paid 1.2 juta for the girl (surprisingly we could still bargain down),hehehe... the girl chose my friend and turned down the Indian man's offer. During our get-together dinner time, the girl whom my friend booked tell us one of the reason why she choose my friend is becos she could smell the Indian's alcoholic body scent from more than 5 meters away,hehehe.... so i am guessing body odour is another one of the key thing that the girls didnt like about Indian customers too.
