    the german far right leader (female) is married to an indian woman and when asked about how that relates to her plans of deporting brown people she said her wife ‘does not count because she was adopted by a white family in switzerland’

    i mean, they also run a populist platform aimed at poor people with a libertarian program to wipe out social assistance though, so why am i even suprised by the hypocrisy?

      Also maybe the idiot who married The Couchfucker™ is full of so much self loathing that it’s “trickled down” to the kids.

      We all know that conservatives love the trickle down idea…

    Diaspora Indians are, somehow, white Europeans. Also, some confused Latinos. They’ll learn eventually that Western imperialism cannot be separated from white supremacy, requiring the dehumanisation of others as a foundation, and they’ll be a main target sooner or later before white infighting takes place (“are Italians even white???”/“fucking Krauts!”).

      Diaspora Indians already know this. There’s a ton of racism directed at Indians today, it’s not for off from the post 9/11 period, but arguably less physically violent. There is no brown person in America that thinks themselves white and, even if they did, American society has a way of constantly reminding them that they are not.

        My two cousins are half-Thai but thanks to the genetic dice they both look vaguely central american. They got abused quite a bit growing up both for being asian and for being “mexican”. This taught them empathy for others who … lol just kidding. They’re both trump-loving white supremacists who rant against immigrants despite their own mother being an immigrant from Thailand.

        It took me a moment to realise you made a typo and meant to write “far off”. Mistyping o instead of a makes me think you might be a fellow Dvorak user, but I’m prepared to be disappointed.

    Most Indians in American politics are Republicans. Those repubs think they are white. I feel Usha and her kids don’t see the brown when they look in the mirror. Sad.

      Many certainly have been but there have been several on the left also. Arguably the most prominent on the left today in American politics is also of Indian heritage - ZM.

      funny that there hasnt been many INdian related hate compared to other POC. yea doge definitely increased it, but it hasnt stuck for long, part of it might be that many "industries depend on indians to survive.

      its because indians coming from a HIgher caste in indian culture, they believe they are above the lower caste. so when they see whiteness as epitome of wealth and power, thats how they identify it as. and many indians from these castes are often very wealthy. "almost all not so rich " ones i know are more progressive.

        It’s much simpler buddy. Indians back home love Modi, and they see Modi in Trump. That’s also because how during first term Modi was trying to warm upto Trump, and go as far as endorsing him, something no other Indian leader had done before. And Modi is a fascist. Hence they love Trump

    Vance is one of those freaky shapeshifters whose positions and principles contort anew as necessary to stay adjacent to power.

    His kids are likely not just traumatized by him but terrified of the kind of monster he is.

    They hate and fear him already.

    Conservatives are EXTREMELY good at indoctrination. The kids will unfortunatley probably never question their racist father’s racist remarks.

      It’s not really that so much as Indians of high caste (which his wife is) basically consider themselves ‘white’. So as far as they’re concerned he’s talking about other people, not them.

      Between home schooling and only hanging out with other church folk it’s evil and apparently not really effective if it can be all undone with a year of university.

    His kids will grow up and learn to hate him. Just like Musk’s and Trump’s do them.

    I also predict when he loses in '28, his wife will leave him, then run for Congress as a Democrat a couple of years later. It will be a very messy and public divorce.

    I am waiting for the Right to say that saying the N Word isn’t racist.

    They already believe that (they gave a woman millions of dollars for calling a child that)

    I just want them to admit it.

    He said it’s become dirtier and poorer since Trump’s first term, which is actually true.

    It’s just that it also got dirtier and poorer during trump’s first term too.

    trump broke a bunch of shit, and Biden didn’t fix it. Now Trump’s breaking more shit and we’re gonna keep getting dirtier and poorer.

    Has nothing to do with with ethnic makeup tho.
