Despite putting "Hindu" on my forum profile, I hesitated due to the ridicule faced by figures like Ramaswamy. Tried to keep identity politics out in the Vivek thread I started on the old forum, but trolling continued.
I have met and worked with a lot of Indians and most are nice people, but I highly highly doubt Vivek would do jack squat for the white / non Indian population. The ones I have know and one I knew very well (I’ll get to that) mostly just hung out with each other and helped each other and looked down upon almost everyone else. I will admit that Indians looked most favorably upon whites and I even had one Brahmin woman claim she was Aryan. Don’t even get me started on Ghandi’s opinion on black people. Only naive black people would vote for Vivek because of some lame oh he’s a POC too thing.
But the caste system still plays a role with many modern Indians and many can be so arrogant it’s intolerable and they walk around with their Indian superiority complex. Vivek seems no different and believe me, if he did win (he has no chance) he would offer Nikki Haley a cabinet position. It’s all a show brother.
I once dated a Gujrathi woman and dealing with her family and the garbage because she was considering marrying me was ridiculous because I am non Indian. Not only did I make more money than her and most of her relatives, and got along with her but the family dynamics made me cut it off. I couldn’t deal with that, she’s now in an arranged marriage to an alcoholic, great pick dad!
I've said this before. Many white forum members blame politicians without taking personal responsibility for their own cultural preservation. I probably do more for their cultural presentation locally than they do for themselves.
We thank you for this, but you are not the norm.
Then you have those that say "I don't like Vivek because he's Hindu" but then reluctantly acknowledge or even admire his actions.
Some Hindu customs are weird and will be weird to outsiders. My ex would perform a pooja?? as a deity offering and ask for money. How is this different than say making a demonic pact for riches? Or even thinking of God as some type of Genie?
Truth is Trump has been just as shady if not a hell of a lot shadier in business dealings and connections than Vivek, but of course he gets a pass.
No he doesn’t. Trump is also a conman.
It's an obvious level of cognitive dissonance that doesn't even need to be pointed out.
Personally, I think Vivek is great, because he's clearly the most intelligent and articulate one on the ballot. As someone said before, he speaks up more for the white and Christian population in the US than many Christian candidates.
Articulate and intelligent yes, but he’s a product of the Ivy League establishment and can not be trusted.
Look at Nikki Haley, another Indian, but a convert to Christianity, yet her warmongering values are not very American and I presume not Christian.
They are probably laughing behind stage and to the bank.
Ever been to a trial where the attorneys put up an act and go after each other and then you see them sipping whiskey, laughing, and slapping each other on the shoulder at the bar right after?
Same concept bro. It’s all a circus.
