    Dumbasses. You will NEVER be one of “the good ones” to these people. You are nothing but a useful idiot and will be treated as the enemy THE MOMENT you are no longer useful.

      They’re not trying to be pick-me brown folks. They’re just also fascists, and have been kind of blind to the fact that their ideas of fascism and class power are different from the average MAGA WASP’s.

    I remember seeing a video of an Indian couple berating a black woman because she was black. I read into that that they think they’re adjacent to white (I hate using those terms).

    Anyway from the article

    “Christian voices should be the main voice of America. And I want to know basically why you seem to be, and I don’t mean to be horribly offensive, but why you seem to be masquerading as a Christian?” one woman in the crowd asked. The young man who followed her was even more direct. “If you are an Indian, a Hindu, coming from a different culture, different religion, than those who founded this country—those who grew this country, built this country, made this country the beautiful thing that it is today—what are you conserving? You are bringing change,” he said. The man went on to ask Ramaswamy how he could represent Ohioans, when 64 percent of them are Christian.

        It’s not based on skin color, but it often is that low caste are darker. That being you totally have dark skinned high caste and light skinned low caste people.

        Racism is definitely there culturally in India, but it’s complicated on who they considered superior and who is inferior, like Middle Easterners are fairer but Indians would think they are inferior, while same white boiis of Europe are equal or superior. It’s very weird. I think we as humans just don’t want to get along with each other just take a shit on someone all the time.

    Many Right-Wingers Can’t Stand Them

    From what I can tell, most right-wingers can’t stand anybody from other right-wing groups. The different religions can’t stand each other. The social conservatives can’t stand the libertarians.

    If they didn’t all mindlessly vote against their own self-interests, American right-wingers wouldn’t have anything in common.

    In my own experience in Britain during the Leave Referendum, lots of Indians are conservatives and even Indian-Nationalists and they absolutelly are anti-Immigrant in the country were they themselves are immigrants as long as they think it’s other immigrants that will suffer rather than they themselves.

    In fact, this is a general rule, not just for Indians: immigrant rightwingers are no less calously selfish or relishi the hurt of others they see as lesser than local rightwingers, though granted people do usually bring along cultural faces from their country, such as for example a normalized perspective on discrimination against people from other casts for those from India.

    Never assume that just because somebody is an immigrant they’re inherently better (or worse) than the locals - the main difference between them is how much power they have in the country they live in and expectations informed by the culture they grew up in, not in Moral, Ethics or Principles.
