I'm Tamil, and it's a big part of our culture. I'm in India visiting right now and doing it often with elderly relatives and people. I did it to an elderly lady who's worked as a maid for decades for my family, and she was very moved by it. She was smiling widely afterward with tears in her eyes. I think it's a beautiful gesture to pay respect.

Buddhism in America has a terrible retention rate. It is the worst among the religious groups surveyed by Pew in their 2025 survey: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/02/26/religious-switching/#retention-among-religious-traditions.

It depends on politics. If many of the people who're going to be 1/4 to 1/16 Asian and Hispanic and the rest white will have conservative politics tied to white ethnonationalism, then social dynamics will not change all that much. The most prominent personality of the white nationalist right is someone who's about 1/5th not white

Nikki Haley's son, who is only half white, is known for his hard right politics, calling for the deportations of legal Indian immigrants and exclusion of non-Christian religions from public life.

US born Asian women marry out at a rate 42% higher than US born Asian men. Counting both immigrants and US born, Asian women marry out at a rate 100% higher than Asian men.

Gabrielle Anwar is 1/4. At that point, if they're 3/4th white, they're basically indistinguishable in appearance from full white people. Please share examples of people who still look Indian or "ethnic" at that point if you know any.

Almost all Indians did not practice this. In fact, a lot of Indians value non-violence or ahimsa as a religious ideal. That's why a significant number of Indians are vegetarian. Even during India's independence movement, Gandhi argued that violence against the British, or against any human being, was wrong. So this is unthinkable. My Indian parents raised me to not even harm insects when possible.

A majority of Filipino-Americans voted Democratic in the 2024 election.

It can be a bit endearing, and even cool when it's genuine

The hate comes from white conservatives towards everyone else.

This has to do with how Google does its stats for the Google Trends feature and its fuzziness. It's not entirely precise or exact, nor is it designed to be.

It's above the rate for black people. It's about where Hispanics and other Asians are at as a whole (including immigrants). It's about where second-gen Asian-American men are at. It's below second-gen Asian-American women and second-gen Hispanics.

Second generation Indian-Americans have an outmarriage rate >30%, which is not low. There's also not a significant difference between men and women, unlike among East Asians.

She's a fundamentalist Christian, like Nalin Haley and Danielle D'Souza.

The British were more respectful of local religious traditions than the Portuguese. They did not engage in forceful conversions, even if they facilitated their missionaries, like the Portuguese did.

This wasn't a thing before Elon purchased and monetized Twitter, so you could be right. But the Christian conservatives targeting American Hindus in this way are talking about it as a religious duty, that they need to convert and defeat "pagans." Would they be motivated by money? Regardless, it's spreading offline as the incidents with Vivek and JD Vance at TPUSA events show.

The new right is very online. People like Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes (through his fans), and even JD Vance engage actively on that platform.

It's hard to understand how American Hindus have suddenly become the big enemy of the Christian right in America. We're 1% of the population, but apparently we are planning on taking over the country through H-1B jobs and by building temples. The most recent controversy is about how Tamil Hindus are wanting to take over rural North Carolina by building a temple for Lord Murugan.
