The term Anglo-Indian can refer to at least two groups of people: those with mixed Indian and British ancestry and people of British descent born or residing in India. The latter sense is now mainly historical,[6][7] but confusions can arise. The Oxford English Dictionary, for example, gives threepossibilities: "Of mixed British and Indian parentage, of Indian descent but born or living in Britain or (chiefly historical) of English descent or birth but living or having lived long in India".[8] People fitting the middle definition are more usually known as British Asian or British Indian. This article focuses primarily on the modern definition, a distinct minority community of mixed Eurasian ancestry, whose first language is English.

but that's them straight off the boat. Im also reffering to indians that came in the 60s and 70s because i think the newer ones come from a different place

Those guys in OP aren't Anglo Indians I think. I've seen Anglo Indians they are usually quite light skinned. Often have light eyes too in fact
