JD Vance accused Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of having “definitely committed immigration fraud” and said that he’d recently spoken with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller about how best to “go after her.”
Speaking on a podcast hosted by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on Friday, Vance was asked about claims that Omar had defrauded the United States by marrying her brother to secure his legal residency.
The unsubstantiated claim has circulated in MAGA circles for years but has been denied by Omar multiple times. The congresswoman was born in Somalia but moved to Minneapolis with her family in 1997, fleeing the civil war.
She’s probably a self hating Asian who would rather have a racist partner as long as he’s white than be with an Asian man. It’s like short women who only want a tall partner because they feel insecure and need to compensate. But here it’s a woman who feels that her non-whiteness is inferior and thus she needs to compensate by marrying a white man. And with that inferiority complex she attracts racist men.
There are way too many racist white man with an Asian wife for it to be a coincidence.
I’ve literally never heard of that take on short women. Not saying you’re wrong, but that’s new to me.
Her family is from India. They have a caste system and you bet your ass she’s from the top of that. She’s from a long line up “upper class” people who look down on the poor and disenfranchised. She just happens to be a little brown.
This is such a poor understanding / oversimplification of Indian culture and history.
First it’s important to point out that much of America was an apartheid state predicated on a race based caste system for most of its history. You know which race was high caste and which was low. If not, ask your grandparents (or parents for that matter).
Can anyone today look at those of the race that was high caste and assume that they continue to look down on the historically low caste? No, it’s not that simple.
Usha came from a family of scholars who were well regarded as philanthropists and educators in their village.
Assuming you know anything about how she thinks of others based on her caste is actually incredibly regressive. Its equivalent to assuming every white person must is a racist.
I think she made a terrible choice in JD. But let’s not assume to know the woman based on archaic presumptions. We can do better than that.
I went to school for Anthropology. I know not to make assumptions about cultures. I’m not making an assumption about members of caste systems today, but what it was like and what some continues to be like. And there is absolutely no way she isn’t racist or hates the low class if she can still stand by her husband. It’s not like it was an arranged marriage. She picked him, she can leave him.
It’s like looking at a white guy who’s racist and saying, yep, it’s because he comes from a long line of racists. It’s as simple as that.
The higher caste Indians hate darker skinned Indians and thus many in the upper caste are insecure of their own brownness.
The short woman in my office give the lots of reasons of only dating tall men
Few more: i don’t want short kids Need someone to get high stuff Dwarves ( in reference to blokes under 6 feet) are not hot Need someone to protect me
Its all steps from insecurities
That’s all insane. Firstly imagine calling the average man of every country but the Netherlands a dwarf. But also as a woman who’s nearly 6’ short women hurt my back. I still date them because I don’t really consider height a major concern in partners. Also I’ve hidden behind multiple short exes. One is 5’2" and built like a bear with an attitude of pure willingness to do violence for loved ones.
Sigh, but yeah I’ve noticed a lot of short women are insecure about their heights as well. And it’s weird because many of us tall women are also insecure about ours. I have to try not to loom over other women (and sometimes over men). When I wear heels (which is usually formal events) I stick out like a sore thumb even more. Back on reddit the tallgirls community was really helpful to find other women experiencing the same awkwardness.
Peculiar, while accurate, to see folks from india referred to as Asian.
Did you know that in the UK when people use the term Asian they mean people with South Asian ethnicity.
What do they use for east Asian?
East Asian or Chinese, Japanese etc. Or oriental if they are racist.
It gets confusing because usually people just call them asian too 💀 i say “east asian” though because everyone knows you mean chinese, korean et cetera in that case, and you might specify south asian for indians, pakistanis etc.
In the UK we have more south asians than east asians, but I’m pretty sure it’s the inverse in america. So if somekne in the uk says describes someine as “asian,” it’s a safer bet that they mean “indian subcontinent” or middle east rather than East-Asian.
Isn’t that a joke they made in Pineapple Express? “What sort of Asian!? Indian people are technically Asian!”
