Was surprised to see “Singapore”, expected “Bay Area.”

When I left my last rental after buying a house, my elderly white landlord asked me to help him put the property on Craigslist. When I did so and mentioned the Cupertino school district, he asked me to remove that part because “it would attract too many Indian families with kids” to avoid the curry smell. He had no issue with other Asian ethnicities, the previous tenant was Chinese.

I did not remove it, but I don’t know anything about the next renter.

I’ve since heard the same comment from people at work who rent out property. The curry smell is always the issue.
