Jindal whitewashed, Vivek's doubling down
Bobby Jindal spent his entire political career erasing his identity to appease white Republicans. Vivek's doing the opposite - leaning INTO his desi roots, his actual culture, his real self.
Republicans will lose their minds over it. That's the point.
It’s actually crazy that race is becoming a major hurdle for Vivek in the year 2026. Nearly 20 years ago, Louisiana, a state in the deep south, elected an Indian Republican named Bobby Jindal as governor and he easily won a second term 4 years later.
