    “A multi ethnic America is dirty!” he said about a country that exists from the colonisation and immigration of a hundred different ethnicities.

      Maybe he thinks that the whites in America should go back to England???!

      Because the one true original ethnicity in America are Native-Indians and everybody else who came afterwards, including his own ancestors, were the ones making it multi-ethnic.

        Pretty sure there were also Germans, and Poles, and French, and Swedish, and Dutch, and Spanish, and Portuguese, and Italians, and quite a lot of Irish and one particular point in history.

          Oh, yeah, the “Go back home to England” is just a saying rather than representative of historical reality.

        The remaining tribes would then proceed to kill each other (as they did before the English ever arrived).

        The tribes were not one ethnicity, either.

    the german far right leader (female) is married to an indian sri lankan woman and when asked about how that relates to her plans of deporting brown people she said her wife ‘does not count because she was adopted by a white family in switzerland’

    i mean, they also run a populist platform aimed at poor people with a libertarian program to wipe out social assistance though, so why am i even suprised by the hypocrisy?

        fair enough, corrected!

        also, who is openly pride, alice or her wife? apparently they also have some kids and are in a civil partnership, but she does oppose same sex marriage (because ‘tradition’ of course?). i always have that mental gymnastics meme in my head when i read about her or hear her speak… x)

    Sociopaths only ever care about themselves and for them everybody else - even their children - are only worth as much as the utility they have for the sociopath.

    Conservatives are EXTREMELY good at indoctrination. The kids will unfortunatley probably never question their racist father’s racist remarks.

      It’s not really that so much as Indians of high caste (which his wife is) basically consider themselves ‘white’. So as far as they’re concerned he’s talking about other people, not them.

        Casteism and racism are functionally equivalent. Both are based on how / where you’re born rather than who you are.

        For centuries, people of European descent saw themselves as the global upper caste because of their skin tone and heritage.

        It’s taken time to undo that regressive thinking, and even though there are some white people who continue to think themselves superior today, most are not racist.

        Similarly there are people of Indian upper caste heritage that do not support caste discrimination / supremacy.

        I can’t speak for Usha Vance herself but her mom, in her capacity as provost of the University of California San Diego’s Sixth College, created a pilot course on race, ethnicity and gender in biology and medicine, served on the university’s biological sciences diversity committee, and wrote proudly of her school’s commitment to diversity.

        I strongly doubt that she sees herself as “white”. She also does not strike me as a woman that would raise a family with racist or casteist values. Where Usha went wrong is anyone’s guess (probably at some point in her education in the US / meeting Vance) but her heritage likely has little to do with it if her mom was championing these values openly.

        Both casteism and racism must be abolished.

      Between home schooling and only hanging out with other church folk it’s evil and apparently not really effective if it can be all undone with a year of university.

    His kids will grow up and learn to hate him. Just like Musk’s and Trump’s do them.

    I also predict when he loses in '28, his wife will leave him, then run for Congress as a Democrat a couple of years later. It will be a very messy and public divorce.

    Hating your parents and making your kids hate themselves and you - is that what family values means to Republicans?

    I mean, I get it.

    It’s why you don’t buy a white couch. It shows all the stains. You want a darker colored couch to hide dirt, orange juice spills, that kind of thing.

    Only rich people have money for a white couch. Because if you spill some wine on it, and the stain won’t come out, they can afford to replace it, no questions asked.

      I guess it depends on the stain. Maybe there’s good reason Vance needs a white couch

    I would like this dude to come to queens in NYC, the most ethnically diverse area in the world. The actually when there to study genetics with DNA samples. They’ll give him a NY welcome for racists.
