Why is this nonsense even upvoted? Indian Americans are pretty liberal, if anything. Something like 70% of registered Indian Americans voted for Biden in 2020. They are literally one of the most liberal groups among Asian Americans. But apparently, it's okay to be racist to them because they're successful?

I know Indian Americans who run the whole gamut from very liberal to qanon true believers. There are a number of high profile MAGA Indians today. This post is trying to make sense of them, given that they don't fit the statistics.

Every ethnicity will have members that span the whole political spectrum. That's not unique or insightful. Indian Americans are the highest earning demographic in the United States. It was inevitable some of them start getting positions of political power. However you went on a tirade calling most Indian Americans high caste members who see everyone as lower caste members. Not the small number that is MAGA, most Indian Americans. Widely making up beliefs of a minority group because some of them didn't vote for you is pretty racist, sorry to break it to you.

I worked for very large corporations. I've seen whole teams become Indian - it's natural. Forever whites hired only whites, men hired only men. Then we became cognizant that leaving out talented people due to bigotry was stupid. We made sure to bring in diversity , which is a good thing.

So it's been kind of weird watching an immigrant population throw diversity away and hire only Indians. Pretty soon I was the only white person left. 3 levels up all Indian. They also have a caste system.

Before attacking me, I'm from an immigrant family and I believe in immigration. But I'm not going to hide an ugly truth.
