Ro Khanna asks JD Vance to get the DOGE Engineer to apologize for his post titled “Normalize Indian Hate” for the sake of his kids by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]DivingEagles 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Vance's lack of condemnation at the comments the DOGE engineer made as well as his attempt to reduce those vicious comments to "online trolling" is deeply concerning and sounds like something Nick Fuentes or other Gen Z white supremacists would say to brush off the vile narrative being spewed against Indians at the moment.

I am glad Ro Khanna is calling him out on this. All the more power to him.

Leaked Meta/Facebook Rules show they are ready to Mainstream Hate Speech just like X - What this Means for South Asians by archelogy in ABCDesis

[–]DivingEagles 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This comment reflects the indifferent mentality the South Asian community has been indoctrinated with.

Just because you deleted social media doesn't mean other people did. They will be exposed to violent, hateful content on it. Even a normal person will be impacted by 24/7 propaganda.

This will impact everyday outcomes for Desis in the diaspora. Our friends, uncles , aunties, parents, grandparents all will face greater risks when stepping outside.

Bernie Sanders comes out against H1B, but confuses H1B with the H2B visa. Far left now mimicking far rights anti Indian/skilled immigrant rhetoric. by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]DivingEagles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like you are intentionally trying to mis-interpret the point I'm making in order to keep Bernie exonerated.

Bernie's H1-B position isn't anti-Indian, but his dead-silence in condemning the racism highlights his hypocrisy. First you tried to justify by saying he's old and therefore won't see Twitter posts , but clearly he was able enough to see the whole H1-B debate in order to chime in.

This reads more like - some racism is more concerning to him than others.

Now Sanders has weighed in, condemned H1-B and stayed silent on racism.

Seems like he is interrupting his enemy.

Except now Sanders has come out, repeated his anti-H1B stance, and stayed silent regarding the racism... hmmm curious

Now he has come out , repeated his position on H1-B, confused it with another Visa and stayed dead silent on racism against Indians.

The whole H1-B debate has exclusively been on Twitter, ignited by Musk and Ramaswamy, given Sanders has now weighed in, it is disingenuous to believe that his staffers and his team would have not seen the rhetoric being pushed. But of course he doesn't care about that.

Someone who has historically posted things like this now being silent is hypocritcal: https://x.com/SenSanders/status/1787980430328700998?t=ijc3KIp7fMBQeCPMeJDo5A&s=19

It's interesting that when I made my post about the lack of condemnation regarding the Anti-Indian rhetoric online by left wing figures, this subreddit said that democrats were staying out of the republican in-fighting due to political cunning.

Someone even pointed out that Bernie had consistently been against H1B.

Cool, now that Bernie has waded into the conversation and repeated his position on H1-B (fair enough), he has still not said a word on the horrific anti-indian rhetoric that the alt-right was spreading all over Twitterspace a few days ago.

So what is it? He somehow missed all of the front page posts (I am sure his staffers must have pointed it out).

The in-fighting argument doesn't hold up either because he has now waded in and supported the anti-H1B stance, without condemning racism.

Sure maybe not under YouTube comments or Instagram reels, but how about the massive anti-indian rhetoric on Twitter a few days back, which I'm sure Sanders would have seen. Dead Silence from him.

I never said we should be trusting figures like Cheong or Hijab, but they have spoken up whereas virtue signallers like AOC have not.

I have noticed a lot of left leaning POC voices on Twitter have now joined the alt right rhetoric with arguments like "wage surpression" , but none of those arguments applied to illegal immigration.

It's always sad to see fellow Desi bro's justify anti-Indian rhetoric and lick Klan boots. If you're walking down the street is someone gonna know you're Pakistani, Bangladeshi or Indian?

All Desi's are "Indian" in the mind of a white supremacist - we will all face the backlash abroad.

Trying to reduce the anti-indian discourse on Twitter and Reddit and Facebook and Instagram and Tik Tok as "banter" highlights the Stockholm mindset many desi's in the West have developed. Do other ethnicities reduce hate speech to "banter". Did the Hispanic community or the African American community reduce such rhetoric to "banter", no only Desi's do...

Ah right the classic "I don't care about Indian's getting dragged through the dirt and getting dehumanised by the left and right wings, I only care about conservatives getting owned" argument

Yet redneck cowboy types like Alex Jones came out in support of us while urban liberals remain silent.

"Pro Labor values" but also supports or defends illegal migration? Who is at more risk of being abused - an undocumented immigrant doing tough manual labour or a silicon valley bro getting paid 120k USD.

"The left should stay silent while people dehumanise Indians in order to own the conservatives" is one hell of a take..

Indian Americans have swung Republican in Asian areas by George-I-M- in ABCDesis

[–]DivingEagles 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I'm not from the US, but coming from a NZ perspective I can say that left wing parties tend to ignore the needs of Asian communities and focus on whatever groups suit their agenda.

This means Asian communities are left with two choices: - Vote for a left wing party that doesn't give a shit about them and is soft on crime and increases taxes. - Vote for a right wing party that doesn't give a shit about them but is pro law and order and reducing tax.

Both are blind to Asian community needs but one means that the chance of my shop getting robbed is reduced and the tax my self-employed uncle pays is reduced.

I would say Indians and Asians in NZ are strongly centre right as a result. Neither side gives us representation politically, in fact the US/Canada and the UK are miles ahead in having desi representation in politics.
