Most white Americans regard
by piri on Jan 12, 2019 10:32 AM  | Hide replies

PIOs (persons of Indian origin) and other South Asians (they really dont care to make any distinction between Indians, Pakis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, etc) with much more distaste than than they regard Afro Americans with.

Afro Americans have been with them for centuries and are more accepted as fellow Americans than PIOs are. PIOs are contemptuously referred to as *rag heads* (an obvious reference to what whites regard as the ugly looks of Indians).

And now such a rag head, who is one of a few Indians who won an election in the US from constituencies with very large immigrant populations, wants to run for President !

Forget the Presidency, this rag head might find it tough to end up even third or fourth place in the race for the Democratic party nomination !

please, she will win or not is not at all of my concern. But what you are telling about reputation on Indians, is utterly false, Either you are not aware of the ground reality or you have hatred for Intelligence and wisdom of indians. Good luck..

Utterly false ??

Indians are not referred to as *Rag heads* by many whites in their private conversations ?

And this label does not imply utter raxcial distaste and derision ?

You are ignorant and ill read, arent you ?

Tulsi is not Indian, she is a convert to Hixduixm, or reconvert depending on who you ask.
