And JD Vance's children are really Indian. How about that?

For the life of me I will never understand how someone with 3 half indian children can align himself with someone that campaigns on racism with the argument that his opponent is half Indian.

Imagine how this feels for these children. They are small now, but they will grow and this won't just be forgotten. How can you forgive your father for something like this.

With all his "family values" and shit, he just sacrificed his family and his relationship with his children for fame and fortune.

Hypocrisy is in republicans nature. I'm sure if you pushed him, he would claim his wife is "one of the good ones". In fact I think I read an article saying something to the effect of he couldn't help falling for her, regardless of her background, which sounds okay, until you realize why he said it like that.

"Obviously my wife is not a white woman..."

He knows she doesn't have the supple curves of a leather recliner, but she's good enough

It isn't really about race to Vance. It's about caste. Just checked and of course his wife's maiden name Chilukuri is a Brahmin name, the highest caste in India. Everything he does is to elevate himself from his low-class upbringing.

He (and likely his wife) thinks that they are the exception and whatever rules won't apply to them.

His children are likely taught the same thing that if you align with the right values, you will be the exception....

Except that the leopards will absolutely bite their and their parents' faces off.

If you think Indians all see themselves the same and they don’t have any racism and artificial hierarchy, I got some bad news for you.

I have two cousins who are white supremacists ... while being half-Thai. They think being white is so great that you only need half a dose of it.

White worshipping self hating Asians are really common. It’s why white male - Asian female couples are the most common interracial combination. These Asian women often say it’s because Asian men are terrible men. But if that was true you’d see many more Asian women with men from other races and not just Caucasian men. It’s just racism plus misandry.

Some of these Asian women are so racist against Asian men that if they have sons that are Asian passing they will emotionally abuse their sons.

I once met a guy in the Philippines, fully Filipino, not even a little bit white, who told me that Hitler was a good guy with the right idea. In all seriousness. He wouldn't believe that the Nazis would've happily gassed him too.

Made me speechless.

People want to think they are the exception and stand above others. Until the leopard eats their face and their hateful pals turn against them.

It’s because they hate Jews. It’s weird how many East Asians and Southeast Asian have something against Jews when Jews are non-existent over there.

I had same experience in Singapore after a lady asked me if I was German. She then said Hitler was a good strong leader…

I didn't know jd was Indian for years he was white then all of a sudden he is Indian maybe we should have the authorities look into that it must be against the law to lie about that

Check his birth certificate.

The title feels awkward to me. Try:

"Trump attacking Kamala for not being black is really weird".

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, your title is worse because it implies that Kamala really isn't black, rather than that Trump is weirdly lying about it.

[–] Timii@biglemmowski.win 3 points 1 month ago

Good point. How about "Trump attacking Kamala by falsely claiming she isn't black is really weird”?

Is JD Vance really white? 🧐🤔 or is he just in whiteface and that really isn’t mascara after all 🤯

[–] moon@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

No that implies he's a POC and white people should not be absolved of raising a smarmy little shit like JD

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

I honestly think the more likely explanation is that he doesn't realize Kamala Harris and Nikki Hayley are different people. They're both just "that woman I'm running against" to him.

Dementia brain has him in a place where he's like, "No! The woman I'm running against was Indian dammit!"

They are such an adorable couple and he looks so cute back then. It sucks he's such a horrible person.

Someone should ask him about his kids

[...] while discussing the possibility of Ivanka's posing for Playboy magazine: "It would be really disappointing — not really — but it would depend on what's inside the magazine. I don't think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
