Ramaswamy: ‘It’s Just a Hard Fact’ Indian Americans Are Offended that Harris Abandoned Her Indian Heritage
EXCERPT:
RAMASWAMY: “Yeah. So, look, on a very personal level, my parents were immigrants to this country, legal immigrants from southern India. The very same part of India that her mother also emigrated from. I think it’s a hard fact, Martha, it’s just a fact, whether you like it or not, that many Indian Americans in the United States are indeed somewhat offended by the way Kamala has suddenly has cast aside the Indian-American side of her identity. She leaned into it when she ran for office in California, big Asian American and Indian-American population. So, she wore that when it was convenient, she is wearing a different identity now when it’s politically convenient on a national stage. Personally, I don’t think we should be relying on these ethnic identities at all.”
