I don't want to stereotype, and I don't want to insult, but GIVING YOU HONEST feedback from the ladies: pretty much exactly what above poster said, they don't like indians because they smell and are cheap. (And some of the bouncers in wan chai don't like indians because years ago some indians were causing trouble, getting into fights with people).
Of course there are a few gross dudes (could be ANY NATIONALITY OR ETHNIC BACKGROUND, all guys stink without proper hygiene) and those few Indian guys ruin it for everybody, which causes a stereotype.
It's easy to OVERCOME this prejudice, this is what I recommend:
WAN CHAI
#1) Look your best. Don't head out to Wan Chai in casual jeans in Tshirt. You are trying to defeat a stereotype, so dress up and look sharp even if it's unnecessary. A nice collared dress shirt goes a long way.
#2) Of course shower right before you go out, especially if it was a humid day, and use DEODORANT. You can add a mild spray of cologne, but don't do the following (skip the DEO and spray cologne 50 times. This can backfire as sometimes the sweat mixes with the overpowering cologne and a weird new smell is formed). So keep it simple, shower, DEO, and a mild touch of cologne.
#3) Don't be stingy with the cash. By the ladies a drink, smile and be friendly.
#4) Don't get drunk and become aggressive or possessive. Once in a while guys buy a couple drinks for the ladies, then the girl, runs off to the bathroom, finds something better and 30 minutes later she's on the dance floor with a different bro. Shit happens, if she was into you, she would have stuck around, let her go bro. Be a gentleman at all times, you want her back in your hotel room for a great night, she has to trust you that you are not some pyschopath that's going to chop her up (because unfortunately it happened a couple years ago). So be friendly, be a gentleman, make her feel comfortable with you. Try to play with the illusion you actually met a girl at a bar and are trying to charm her and pick her up. Don't be a dick and buy her a drink and grab her by the arm and tell her let's go to your hotel and fuck (Although sometimes in wan chai you will find a girl that does that to you!!1   Can you tell I love wan chai?)
Not necessary but:
#5) If you are really worried about being indian, but come from a different country you can lead with, "I'm American." And if the bouncers are giving you shit, you can flash your USA Drivers License and show them you are not indian.
The above advice #1 - #4 applies to everyone doing the wan chai rounds, not just indians. But it will definitely help your cause if you are indian, sorry if it's not politically correct, but just want to give you bros the the real facts.
WALKUPS
Also if you are doing walkups or checking out the 141 DB three things:
#1) Check their ad, sometimes it says, "Foreigners welcome"
#2) Check their ad, sometimes it says, "English" as a language. Probably they are open to non chinese clientele if they put english on their ad.
#3) Call or message them. Ask them if "Foreigners are OK?"
FINALLY, if all else fails, head to one of the big FS saunas, plenty posted about on this site, and as long as you are not an ass or anything, you should be able to get in NO PROBLEM.
