A whole host of Indian American silicon valley investors and founders threw in their lot with Trump this election.

Now that their side has won, other Trump fans are specifically targeting them by calling them various slurs.

Turns out being upper class in India doesn't carry over here, who knew (everyone who didn't spend all day on WhatsApp, that's who)

Still, it's quite a tightrope you have to walk, being loathed as an idiot suck-up class/race traitor by one side, and despised by those you're sucking up to on the other.

That’s not a tightrope. Those are both happening simultaneously. You mean being a loathed, despised suck-up and actually having self-respect (like even acknowledging that you don’t like having racism being directed at you).

Hijacking top comment: "TPOT" stands for "this part of Twitter". Mostly her personal feed, I'm guessing.
