    I’m not shocked to see JD Vance supporting racism against Indian people despite having an Indian wife, but it sure is disgusting to watch regardless

      He was just posting about how the left twisted Christianity into having to care about a stranger more than you care about your own family.

      Here he is throwing his family under the bus for the benefit of a stranger

      I’m pretty sure that during the election, one of his Republican colleagues made a anti-Indian remake and he did nothing to defend his wife, not that h8s wife needed defending since she is Republican, a lawyer, and can speak for herself and said nothing because I’m sure she’s just like the Twitter guy.

    It’s odd, I remember my brother telling me that MAGA (in america) unexpectedly supported Imran Khan in pakistan. If you look through lemmy, you’ll see some leftists supporting him as well

    Yo, lemme tell you something: a lot of indians are some of the biggest asskissers for racist white folk. I think they believe they’ll get brownie points for being servant-like. Probably a hold over from the colonial days.

      a lot of indians are some of the biggest asskissers for racist white folk.

      Which Indians? What other people have said, but this is such a uselessly vague description of a hugely diverse grouping of cultures, ethnic groups and skin tones.

      It’s also an incredibility caste based group and if you’re a member of the higher castes, it’s not at all surprising that you would identify with MAGA beliefs. If you’re a member of a lower caste, not so much, but those groups have a hard time leaving the country.

        I’m Indian and among my parents’ generation, there is a lot of colourism. White skin is the ideal. They look down on darker skinned people even within our own ethnicity (I was never called pretty, unlike my lighter skinned sisters, because I got the dark genes). That’s a whole other discussion though.

        They fall for right wing propaganda easily, like anti-EU immigration, antivaxx, etc. My parents used to watch GB News and talktv unironically.

        Here in the UK, sadly I can name two prominent ethnically Indian MAGA-type MPs: Suella Braverman and Priti Patel. Both nasty pieces of work.
