[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing they could pin on him as offensive was his statement that he didn’t know Kamala Harris is Black. That’s it. She’s Indian-American isn’t she? [b]She looks more Indian than Black to me, too. Look at her hair.[/b] If her trolls are going to keep screaming anti-White screeds while she makes her entire candidacy about her descriptors, she might want to develop a thicker skin. Unless she’s ashamed of her Indian heritage that is.[/quote] Just WOW. Speechless. [/quote] She was raised by her Brahmin mother, raised Hindu, speaks Hindi — and her father also has Indian ancestry. She wasn’t even raised in the United States from the time she was 12. She can identify however she wants, but she is not a product of the African-American experience, and certainly not ADOS. She is not even part of the American immigrant experience, in that neither of her Ph.D. parents became U.S. citizens. As a Brahmin, the dirty little secret is that she is against anti-caste legislation in the United States. Someone should ask her about that, if she ever does give an unscripted interview.[/quote] If you are going to twist facts you should at least get the actual facts right. Her mother spoke Tamil around the house. That is not Hindu. Like, really not Hindi. And Kamala can't say much more than "I'm hungry" or "Hello" or other childhood basics. She went to churches WAY more than any Hindu temples. And Obama wasn't ADOS. Still got elected. Twice.[/quote] Yes, let’s get all the facts straight. Summers in India are way more than “hello.” Churches are simply wrong. Mom is Hindu. Mom raised her since 7… And, golly, no comment on her pressuring Newsom to veto anti-caste legislation in California? Or the fact that she is Brahmin? Or that her dad is part Indian? Here’s the link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/22/indian-americans-caste-discrimination-newsom-veto/ Imagine if Obama supported discrimination amongst, say, Hutus and Tutsis in the United States. Then we would have a story. Or if Obama’s dad said he was superior to other African tribes because of a "Gopalan bloodline that goes back more than 1,000 years". That’s what Kamala’s mom said. And that, by the way, is a slave-owning bloodline in India. Here’s the link for that: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55786214 [/quote] I'm gonna tell you the truth - I don't think a whole lot of people here care more about anti-caste legislation in California then we care about Dobbs.[/quote] If Kamala identifies as black and as Indian-American, she needs to address 1) the black experience in America and 2) the Indian experience in America. If she can’t do both, she has no business leading this country. And for the ignorant out there: it is not possible to address the Indian immigrant experience without addressing caste.[/quote] I'm sure that means a lot to you. I care more about abortion. And literally everything else. [/quote] Do you agree that Kamala needs to address the issue? Call me crazy, but where I come from presidential candidates need to address all issues, since, you know, they will represent all the people.[/quote] You know what? I don't think she does as there are about 1,000 issues with much higher priority. But then, we're actually discussing policy. I'm sure Project 2025 has a great piece on anti-caste legislation and civil rights, MAGA. Why don't you check that out if you're interested in seeing how Indians of lower castes will be treated by Trump.[/quote]
