While speaking on the final night of the GOP midterm convention, Vice President JD Vance said the country was āpoorerā and ādirtierā before President Donald Trump was reelected for a second term.
āWe were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer, and less safe and less prosperous,ā Vance said on the final day of the two-day convention in Dallas, Texas.
His sentiment appeared to reflect the administrationās efforts to combat rising immigration rates in the U.S., a key campaign point during the 2024 election. Vance himself promoted unsubstantiated claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, in September 2024, spreading misinformation about the community abducting and eating pets.
Donāt know why youāre downvoted like that, casteism/colorism is well-known within the Indian community. The Brahmins and White nationalists are like-minded in that sense, although the White nationalists still see themselves as superior.
They are religiofascist to a degree and demonize Muslims and enforce the āsuperiorityā of Hinduism. There are definitely some mirrors to what has happened in their government versus ours.
I mean, some Indians have a fetish for Hitler, rooted in stupid legends about Aryanism. The pick-me-ism is insane.
I think the down votes are probably because Iāve never encountered a space where Indians are considered white, maybe in Silicon Valley? I hear more racist jokes about Indians than any other ethnic group in the Southeast US, though I hear more racist comments about black people and Hispanics.
