Last month, FBI Director Kash Patel wished his followers on X a happy Diwali. It did not go over well.

Far-right Christian nationalist and white nationalist accounts flooded his post with bigoted memes and rhetoric. “Go back home and worship your sand demons,” a far-right pastor wrote. “Get the f**k out of my country,” read another reply. Said another, “This is America. We don’t do this.” These responses, some of which were seen millions of times, were on the tamer end of the spectrum.

Similar hostility followed Diwali greetings on X from former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, as well as posts about the holiday from the White House, the State Department, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Some Indian American conservatives seem shocked that segments of the political right are now taking aim at them.

Honestly, it seems like racism against Indian people is disgustingly accepted even here in Canada. I know some otherwise very progressive people who will just straight up make very racist generalisations/commente without a second thought and for some reason it's just accepted

In no way excusing the behaviour, but there’s a massive exodus of people from India globally, and as a visible minority, it makes it easy to pick on them in particular.

Globally the money is accumulating towards wealthy individuals but it’s somehow easier to blame the new neighbour because he puts spices in his food.

They are damn good spices and put my American cooking to shame. Share your secrets to Vindaloo or GTFO.

Kashmiri chili powder. This is not to be confused with either "chili powder" or paprika, it's a COMPLETELY different spice.

Goan Pork Vindaloo

3 to 3.5 lb pork shoulder, cubed
1 large onion, chopped fine
1 cup water
1 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and sliced, 1/8" thick.
6 garlic cloves, peeled and trimmed
3 tablespoons kashmiri chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons table salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayanne pepper (opt.)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup coconut vineagar

Blend water, ginger, garlic, and spices until the consistency of thick tomato sauce.

Pour over pork in large bowl.

Heat oil in dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering, then cook onion until translucent, 7 to 9 minutes.

Pour in the pork, spread into an even layer and cook until bubbling. +2 minutes.

Cover, put in 325° oven for 40 minutes.

Stir in coconut vineagar.

Cook another 40 to 50 minutes until fork tender.

Rest for 10 minutes and serve!

Where the heck can I find coconut vinegar

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Check your local upscale/asian markets or mail order.

I'm lucky in that we have an entire store that sells nothing but oils and vineagars.

Spent any time in Surrey? Lol

Gf used to live there and whenever we went to the mall (literally the only thing to do in Surrey BTW) there were an alarming amount of young guys visibly staring at her chest etc

India is culturally broken, change my mind

Richmond is almost all Chinese people and when I'm there I never feel unsafe and people aren't staring at me just because I'm white

Drives me insane they hate the cheap rent for indians only, those conditions are ass thats why its cheap and the indians know to expect and tolerate the shitty conditions, and also they typically wont allow cooking meat and sht, these are the downsides yet all they see is cheap price indians only they must be monsters, its like cheap housing around indians for ppl who dont speak english well or make much money

Its often a one bedroom in an indian household, with daughters, thats why its usually woman only too, but they act like theyre perverts, its normal for indian households to support immigrant woman and accept them more because its safer for the woman in the house
