Has it ever occurred to you that maybe because you're not indian, and not part of that tribal behavior / beliefs, that they treated you nicely because "you're an outsider"? Had you ever seen them interacting with others Indians when they didn't know yiu weren't around?
I once sat near a table in a restaurant where an Indian man was on an arranged date (probably arranged by their families) with an Indian woman, and she was fairly pretty, and seemed nice, but he was an absolute prick, he kept bragging about how rich he was and kept telling her negging shit like "I could afford to pay to have your crooked teeth fixed" and "I could buy you a nose job if I wanted to" and dude she had good teeth and a very pretty face, no corrective surgery needed. I couldn't believe what I'd heard until my co-worker asked me after lunch "Did you hear that fucking dude at the next table? Damn!"
