    “A multi ethnic America is dirty!” he said about a country that exists from the colonisation and immigration of a hundred different ethnicities.

      Maybe he thinks that the whites in America should go back to England???!

      Because the one true original ethnicity in America are Native-Indians and everybody else who came afterwards, including his own ancestors, were the ones making it multi-ethnic.

    Sociopaths only ever care about themselves and for them everybody else - even their children - are only worth as much as the utility they have for the sociopath.

    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.

    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.

          Most Indians are right wingers based on what data? According to Carnegie’s 2024 Indian American Attitudes Survey (IAAS) 60% of Indian Americans intended to vote for Harris and 30% for Trump. There is no granular post election data at this demographic level, only for Asians in general, but this is skewed towards democrat more than almost any other minority group, most of which were closer to a 50-50 split this election.

      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

      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.

        Casteism and racism are functionally equivalent. Both are based on how / where you’re born rather than who you are.

        For centuries, people of European descent saw themselves as the global upper caste because of their skin tone and heritage.

        It’s taken time to undo that regressive thinking, and even though there are some white people who continue to think themselves superior today, most are not racist.

        Similarly there are people of Indian upper caste heritage that do not support caste discrimination / supremacy.

        I can’t speak for Usha Vance herself but her mom, in her capacity as provost of the University of California San Diego’s Sixth College, created a pilot course on race, ethnicity and gender in biology and medicine, served on the university’s biological sciences diversity committee, and wrote proudly of her school’s commitment to diversity.

        I strongly doubt that she sees herself as “white”. She also does not strike me as a woman that would raise a family with racist or casteist values. Where Usha went wrong is anyone’s guess (probably at some point in her education in the US / meeting Vance) but her heritage likely has little to do with it if her mom was championing these values openly.

        Both casteism and racism must be abolished.

      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.

    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.
