Long time New Yorker here and of any city, I have spent the most time running game in NYC out of any other city.
Most minority groups can do well in the city if they have decent looks and good game but I would say that Middle Eastern, Indian, and Pakistani guys should avoid running game in this city. The one group almost everyone hates in NYC are "brown" people that aren't Hispanic, they definitely have it the worst. Even women of their own race don't date them as much, most younger Indian and Middle Eastern girls I knew went interracial and avoided men of their own race.
As for white girls? Never saw it unless the dude looked completely white. The only Middle Eastern guys I knew who were doing well in the city were those that practically looked white to where you would not have even guessed that they were Arab.
I never saw any hot white girls with Indian or Pakistani guys in NYC. Some West Indian dudes did luck out with black women and occasionally Hispanic women but white women? Not a chance!
One of my friends was a decent looking Indian guy from Toronto, we went out to run night game for a few nights. Every single time he would approach girls, he got that look of disgust and the girls would immediately turn away. I mean they did not even wait to hear what he had to say, they just turned away like that. I have never seen any guy get blown out as hard as he did, never.
The one time I did know a couple that involved an Indian dude with this tall hot blonde, they got stared at a lot. Guy was very good looking compared to most Indian men and the woman was a model 10 but people looked at them like they were gross, one of the girls I was out with even said "why is she going with one of those, she can do way better". Both of them were from Chicago so if you're a brown dude with a thing for white girls, Chicago is a better bet than NYC.
NYC is good for black, Hispanic, and these days even Asian guys that have their **** together. On the other hand, brown guys have it really really bad here. I've talked to cute girls in the city that run in the club scene that have said some very racist **** about brown people behind closed doors and tons of brown girls admit that they will never go for a guy of their race.
I've never in my life met an Indian, Pakistani, or Arab dude have success here. In case of Arab dudes though, if they look completely white they can do well but other than that; not a chance.
