Most Indians in American politics are Republicans. Those repubs think they are white. I feel Usha and her kids don’t see the brown when they look in the mirror. Sad.

funny that there hasnt been many INdian related hate compared to other POC. yea doge definitely increased it, but it hasnt stuck for long, part of it might be that many "industries depend on indians to survive. its because indians coming from a HIgher caste in indian culture, they believe they are above the lower caste. so when they see whiteness as epitome of wealth and power, thats how they identify it as. and many indians from these castes are often very wealthy. "almost all not so rich " ones i know are more progressive.

Many certainly have been but there have been several on the left also. Arguably the most prominent on the left today in American politics is also of Indian heritage.
