Part of this website is raking up things said against Indians, Hindus, Muslims etc. Some commentators seize on these articles to imply Democrats/Liberals etc. aka the Left stand for the "rights" of said groups ["embarrassing to claim him as a democrat"]. You cannot do that when males of those groups are adversely affected by the policies they espouse.

I suppose you can make a case for historical male privilege in America and the need for affirmative action for women, but have male children of Indian immigrants benefited as much as white males? Have female children of Indian immigrants, compared to White/Native American/Black women, been just as adversely affected? If men/women mix with other races then the interests of Indian women and Indian men are distinct in proportion to the level of mixing among Indian women and Indian men.

I wasn't trying to turn this into a gender debate. Just saying you - as an Indian woman -can't hijack every issue that affects, somewhat equally, Indian men and Indian women like this article here, to gain sympathy for your own political interests that benefit you at our cost.

I am not sure where I assumed you were in the same "group" as me. I was speaking as a Democrat myself, that I was embarrassed by the association. I am also not quite sure how you used my comment as a podium to espouse your beliefs that the Democrats are an Indian Man hating party.

I say potato, you say chicken fried rice, my friend. Not sure how you got from point A to B, but enjoy your chicken fried rice.

Errr…that would be after he whines about “call centers, rushed overseas, hundreds of thousands!”I mean, its one thing to argue that Newt’s “food stamps” wasn’t racist. Its quite another thing to argue that he didn’t say it.

And last I checked, Segregationists weren’t exactly opposed to the New Deal or even the War on Poverty. Joey’s boogie man in contrast actually aligns with the Dixiecrat zeitgeist.

Democrats promote women quotas which, since Indians are not a minority, is anti-Indian male. God knows how many Indian men have lost jobs/higher-ed to make room for Indian women. Don’t confuse us as being part of the same group, because we have Indian parents.

I’ve watched this 3 times and still can’t find a trace of any alleged Indian accent. This is a non-story.

I doubt he was trying to imitate but even if he was, that was a pretty pathetic impression of the Indian accent.

So embarrassing to claim him as a democrat. It’s only appropriate that I thought, “what a donkey!” while reading this given his quickie mart and gas station comments from a few years ago. lame. Kiran

Let’s not be too hard on him. He’s suffered some brain damage after his aneurysms and he’s was never that smart to begin with.
