I also note that some of the more westernized/ integrated east Indian immigrants are also openly critical about the off the boat ones who show lower levels of integration. Same goes for the Asian population. We're just a bunch of xenophobic, racist fucks.

India has always had their caste system, which is essentially a systematized cultural bigotry. They grow up with the idea that some Indians are better than others, just by virtue of their birth, and you can't expect that attitude to disappear just because they came to America.
This isn't about caste though, usually it's about self preservation

Am an immigrant, not true.

Do brown skinned MAGA really think they are exempt? If so, see Exhibit 'A': JD Vances wife.
Oh you mean his soon to be ex wife???
Yes. Especially upper caste Indian Americans. But your average right winger from bumfuck doesn't know or care the difference between a Brahman or a Dalit. When it comes to east Asians it's basically this scene. They think of all west Asian, Arabic, and north African people as basically terrorists. The only group they might actually think of as different is very light skinned Cubans who don't speak Spanish.
Some Indian American conservatives seem shocked that segments of the political right are now taking aim at them.
"Are we not the right shade of brown?"
There is no right shade of brown to them.
They didn't think the leopards would eat their faces.
My only surprise is that it took this long. MAGA probably calculated that they could get the Indian vote in the election, so they kept their mouths closed.
Now they are turbocharging their cruelty, and burning the goodwill they have with multiple groups, and the only conclusion can be that they have already determined that they don't need those votes because there won't be any more elections.
Whaaat, MAGA being racist and hostile towards members of their own cesspool? Who woulda thought?
Patel should've seen this coming, or at least have the epiphany now. But he probably won't care, given that he's an asshole who's in it for his own benefit...
Platform run by a nazi is full of nazis, it's shocking.
They're shocked that the leopards are eating their faces?
Its so weird to me that 80% of the undocumented immigrants being deported are christian but these people say nothing. But when Kash Patel talks about Diwali that's the end of the world.
Its 100% about racism not christianity.
To be honest, as a South Asian, racists have always been openly bigotted in our direction. It was never really taboo in most Western countries. We have no StopAsianHate or BLM equivalent.
That being said I appreciate the author for highlighting the issue. Despite our faults (by virtue of being human) we value family and education as ideals and that has helped us create prosperity, especially in the US where Indians are the highest earning demographic. This rubs some the wrong way, even if it is fairly earned.
Though its not surprising, it is disappointing when it occurs in a nation that sees itself as a land of opportunity.
a nation that sees itself as a land of opportunity.
This nation has always been divided, even before it was a nation. My ancestor was a pastor in present day new england in ~1630 and was arrested for baptizing too late on the lord's day by the strict puritans on massachussets. Then there was the civil war (which never really ended).
China<>Taiwan is a civil war.. I bet if I looked into it, Pakistan and India's beef is considered a civil war in terms of why it started.
People think racism is a white export (import? heh). Try telling a person from Thailand they look Vietnamese or vice versa. Clan-based war is the human way. I spent the first 40 years of my life thinking we conquered human nature (despite my family members' behaviors - I thought they were just stupid).
Nope - water is wet, and people kill people from other clans. Xenophobia is a hell of a drug.

Sadly, it's less to do with your prosperity and a lot more to do with the fact that you're not white.
From the regressive perspective, if you're nonwhite and poor you're a leech on society and if you are well off you must have took it from them by gaming the system. The core is not seeing others as equally human.
Being financially secure is a multiplier to their bigotry as they feel it challenges 1) their collective power and 2) their worldview that anyone that shares their melanin level is innately superior in every way.
a nation that sees itself as a land of opportunity.
A nation whose propaganda claims it is a land of opportunity for all.
The reality is (and has always been) very different.
Couldn’t happen to more deserving people.
At first I thought "people" here meant "Indians" instead of "Conservative Indian Politicians" mentioned at the end.
Reddit has truly ruined my mindset about the internet.
I mean, racism against brown people ranges pretty far and wide on the internet and I’d frankly be shocked if lemmy proved to be an exception
At this point they're going after anyone who could so much as get a tan. If you aren't almost translucent and an evangelical christian, you are their enemy.
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!
Welp, now I have plans to my next Sunday dinner.
Where the heck can I find coconut vinegar
Check your local upscale/asian markets or mail order.
https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/organic-raw%20coconut%20vinegar,%2012.7%20fz-b003xb5lo8
I'm lucky in that we have an entire store that sells nothing but oils and vineagars.
Fuck yeah!

What did these people think white Christian nationalists were? What did they think a white Christian ethnostate was going to be?
Some Indian American conservatives seem shocked that segments of the political right are now taking aim at them.
But but but, we are different brown people,we are not those dirty Latinos,we are clean Indians!
No no no, not THOSE indians, those aren't even calle... Ok, never mind, we are the GOOD brown people, you have to like us!
Am I close? Fucking leopards again!
Some of these people are truly despicable and deserve all the hate they get and more …. But even they don’t deserve this.
Really, you couldn’t find anything better to object to Kesh Patel than wishing people a happy Diwali?
I don't like his speech cadence
On one hand racism is bad, and no one should be discriminated or targetted because of their race
Kash Patel ... Nikki Haley ... Vivek Ramaswamy
But then again, Fuck em.
Don't be surprised your face gets eaten if you hang out with leopards.
The MAGAt Indian Americans can piss in the wind . They voted for this BS and I have zero sympathy for their problem with the Christo-Fascist nutters. In Japan, Toyota's CEO wore a fucking MAGA hat and t-shirt at a NASCAR event. SHAME!!! Fuck him and I will boycott Toyota.
Indian Americans spent a weirdly long time with so many of them actually believing the model minority shit. There is no model minority. The people who hate Mexicans and Venezuelans hate you too if you're darker than a german or you speak a non English language.
Don't worry, Kash Patel is on it.
So, people on Elon Musk's far right, racist social network are being racist. How is that news?
Why are you all pretending people on X are representative of society as a whole?
Indian Americans have been pretty visible in Republican spheres.
