As a black man listening to this conversation….. my emotions were all over the place, but i definitely enjoyed the conversation and learned some new views. I’ll be back!
Hey Nimesh. I am a fitness chica. My total joy every time I go into the gym is to wear my Harris camo hat and my Harris Walz childless cat lady shirts. It appears for some reason I make the MAGA peeps nervous? It might be because I can out lift a good deal of them lol :). Thanks to the both of you for the great conversation and laughs. ❤❤❤
I have news for you. There is full on repeat of Bangladesh plan going for you. Indians should not get emotional because of her Indian name. Do you know what stance has she taken on Kashmir and abrogation of Art 370? Will shock you. Look up her Anti-India views. Vibhuti Jha and Sham Sharma have done detailed videos. Please look up how Dems treated Sunanda Vashistha and Arti Tikoo in hearings about Kashmir. Plenty of info out there. Do you want Kashmir NOT to be part of India anymore.
Thank you Nimesh for injecting much-needed humor into these crazy times. It is crucial to consider that supporting a candidate based on a single policy overlooks the broader implications of their overall platform; by doing so, one risks endorsing policies that may erode the foundations of our democracy.
Two cities were quoted in the debate Springfield, OH and Aurora, CO. NO ONE is talking about Aurora, CO, WHY??? There is VIDEO FOOTAGE everyone has seen. Extremely dangerous people. SCARES ALL OF US even to think such people could be knocking our door. Regarding Springfield, OH, forget the pet eating issue for a minute, how fair it is to dump 20k people in a town of 58k. Isn't that destruction of our country??? Think about your children and grand children's future in such cities. If this continues, USA will become a 3rd world country (like Venezuela, Haiti, Columbia etc.) soon.
Thank you so much. This is the first time I heard a thoughtful humorous stance on the reality of the Black and brown folks living in this country. I am a Haitian mother of 3, who came to this country, right after High School in 1986, at the right time. I appreciate your sense and sensibility - Be kind!
You have as much right to be here as anyone! This land is our shared home, and all of us here now are immigrants, however recent. We all arrived from elsewhere *Except for the First Nations People* so anyone white claiming to be a Native, well, they are dishonest and arrogant and racist imo. We are still healing from the atrocities committed by conquistadors and European settlers, and in the process our country has become better and healthier because of the African & Asian diaspora, people coming together, elevating our culture, and improving our communities. 💓 Appreciate you!!!
agreed, being an Indian living here since 1994.. fully get what you are saying.. I mean Ramaswami is perfect poster child of what wealthy Indians like Trump..
Do you think Nimish is NOT wealthy??? Indian Americas are worried that Pakistan lovers are running the show in one party. Indians like a strong leader (avoid puppets) because they suffered under Manmohan Singh and know how much damage they can do. Why do you want USA to have an equivalent of Manmohan Singh (minus his education or experience) running the country? Don't you remember what happened in the November of 2008 when India did a surrender to Pakistan? Source: 'The Promised Land' written by Obama. Putin, Khameni, Sinwar and Xi will celebrate her win. Our allies Taiwan, Israel will vanish. Weak and 'Word Salad President' will create EMBARASSMENT, and the entire WORLD will LAUGH at US Americans (whether Blue or Red or IND).
@@VK-md7jm I don’t know 1 thing about Ramaswami besides that he is a Republican so I could not criticize. Vance reply to racism against Usha saying, “ of course she is Indian, but she is a good mother?” like she is not good enough because she is Indian? He could have said my wife is the most extraordinary woman period. When Vance said,” women without children are not contributing to this country?” Usha doubled down saying, “ he just meant women who could get pregnant.” This is insane, disgusting, sexist, racist. The point here is not about money but character. If Nimesh has money good for him, so does Bill Maher and other comedians money is not the point here but character.
@@claudiabrown6016 The media has been bad mouthing Vance since he came into the picture just like they have Trump for nearly 10 years now. We are not searching for a friend, marriage partner etc. Please hear the full address regarding women. We are electing a President, a leader who can lead us, keep us SAFE, deal with internal & external THREATS and grow ECONOMY to increase our prosperity. Biden-Harris policies are hurting us. Our savings are getting depleted. Border is not secure affecting our future generations. Weak President will be risky. BIG DIFFERENCE. Walz is a CHINA LOVER and Vance is USA lover and a patriot.
The thing that I've noticed is a lot of South Asian people in the US don't actually know their history. The first South Asians to come to the US were labourers from Punjab and Bengal in the 1800s. People in the US act like everyone who came was a software engineer or doctor. I'm Canadian and I always have to explain to my American cousins that Indian people don't have that same reputation of being doctors and stuff in Canada as in the US. LoL
You are correct. Such a great nation with 5000 year history and their culture spread from Afghanistan to Indonesia. But reduced to a small area because of mistakes and weakness. If you ask Indian Americans if they heard of Dalip Singh Saund, probably 1% would have heard his name. Most of them here try to ape Americans and drink Kool-Aid. I feel pity for Indians here that they lack pride in their culture and religion and unable to stand up or see what is in their interest or who is on their side. Right now, Pakistan lovers are running the show among Dems. They fail to see it. Bangladesh recently reversed to become East Pakistan. How many Hindu and Sikh lives were lost in 1947? As an Independent swing voter, I can tell you it will get worse for them if Dems win.
I’m a black chick and they’re also saying it’ll smell like collards greens…I thought that ish was funny because collards and curry are the bomb, and saying stuff like this only makes the people who say it look insane, and us black and brown folk continue on enjoying our damn food like 🤷🏾♀️
as I am an African American female and I was very fascinated with your conversation. I did not know young men, other than DL Hughley, still had the kind of intellectual bandwidth do discuss such nuanced and salient topics. I am impressed. I needed this after trying to hook up a college educated young lady with a guy who turned out to be MAGA. As he began to talk about the vaccine conspiracy, I could see her physically moving away in her body language. These guys are more and more going to become incels. And that is sad.
Hilarious guys! I am Greek American and i love Indian food and culture😊 That said, i watch Family Karma tv show and although it's highly entertaining and i love to learn more Indian culture i am seriously repulsed by the wealth displays and sort of money wars that go on. It's sad, Greeks do it too here in America as do lots of other ethnicities. tons of pressure to get rich and that's all people judge you by .. how much money you've amassed. Really- the happiest and funniest and most decent people i know are very middle class. And they generally are not fooled by the orange clown😂 I really connected and laughed with allot of what you said. Keep em coming!
I support Kamala and all the democrats in my state. As an Indian man, why wouldn’t I support my fellow Indians that have the same values and views of the world as me…… plus, she reminds me of my sister - plus plus.

The ability to attain a level of complaining about taxes is a direct result from systems that exist because taxpayers pay taxes. The more you make, the more they SHOULD TAKE from your taxes
To the non-indian americans in the comments confused about where "Indians" stand on Kamala - first of all, we are not a monolith or a brown blob of unthinking racists and casteists who all think the same, you wouldnt want people putting words in your mouth, so dont do that to us. India itself is more diverse than the United States, with more languages and cultures etc, the "Indian identity" americans know is just privileged caste north indian culture. There are vile racists who are Indian and anti-black, and there are Indians who receive casteist oppression from other Indians and many who identify with the history of systemic discrimination faced by black americans as slavery was not unique to the US, we also had it in India where privileged castes enslaved marginalized castes. By stripping us all of individuality and nuance you dehumanize us. Kamala is South Indian, many south Indians, including me, claim her to be both South Indian and Black, and we also notice how Kamala's indianess is dialed down by other Americans in many conversations because of the accepted hatred towards Indians online and in the media.
Why is Harris Indian ness dialed back? Because of the intense racism toward blacks which overrides everything. The white supremacists are the demographic Trump is trying to reach. Oh my, how did we get here?
Kamala's heritage is South Indian Brahmin, so the real oppressors. Lower Caste is not a South Indian thing, In India oppressors and oppressed because of caste system is a whole India thing. It's not like North upper caste South lower caste. North has more lower castes than south India and they are still oppressed. Tamilnadu with all their progressive governments still couldn't end caste system, it's still very much prevalent and I have been to Tamilnadu and as relative of mine married a Tamil tribal girl and their village is still in the dumbs, they can't get their MLA's to give them toilets and water system, they had to travel few kilometres to another village to get those resources. I am from B.T.R. Assam.
I grew up with some vile racist Indians in Kenya. Straight after high school, I worked part time for an Indianl nursery school where the black teachers weren't even allowed to step foot into the staff room . We literally took our breaks standing outside watching the kids play and ate our lunch standing, while the "real teachers"(Indian) ate and relaxed in the plush room that i never ever saw in the 2 months i forced myself to work there. The only Indian that socialized with us was Goan- and basically was one roti above the Africans. Lucky for me I only took the job to keep busy while waiting to go to Uni. There were African Staff who'd worked under these conditions for over 10 years with no other options 😢. That being said, over the years I have met a diversity of Indians and I am much more aware of how diverse the diaspora is. And this is not unique to Indians but given how huge the Indian population is, it's more visible now worldwide. Kamala/Waltz 💙💙
Kamala Harris's mother is a Brahmin. So is Ramaswamy. It's funny how you yourself stereotype "North Indian upper caste" while calling out stereotypes😂😂
He is absolutely correct! I have many Indian friends who pray for Trump win as in their opinion he is going to speed up GReen Card process. *Which really blows my mind away* It is extremely rare to find an Indian in America or back home who is on the compassionate side of the society!

@@CassandraCassandra. True, as far as Government, All he believes in is understaffing the Government. Not sure which paradise the folks live in that understaffing will speed up Green card processing.
This is a great discussion. I think rich conservative leaning Indians just forget this basic principle - tax is a fee you pay to live in a civilized society. They enjoy and proud of the privileges of living in a relatively civilized country but don’t want to pay for it, especially when they have the success to contribute more. They use an easy excuse of inherent political corruption they left behind back home when pressed.
Very well said. It’s an inherent selfishness and lack of social cohesion that our culture builds in us that contributes to this mentality. I am Indian by culture and I am proud to pay more taxes - well contributing through various means to the society I live in.
@@dumbtydumptydonuttrumpisal8563 Thanks for your contribution to your country. You are welcome to Sweden and Scandinavia any day, and you have the right idea of democracy and taxes 👍🖖✊please vote for Kamala Harris and not the Psycho Trump, You are helping the whole world and democracy if you do that..
They just don’t want to pay any taxes. Period. They don’t believe in contributing to the society or paying back. They don’t want their tax dollars paying for programs for the underprivileged yet have no problem using every available government program to take care of their older parents who have not paid a cent in taxes in this country. Totally selfish people who don’t have any interest in the welfare of this country. Sorry but ashamed to call them fellow Indian Americans.

Thank you Namish for this conversation. I’ve always struggled to understand the dynamic of Indians willingness to accept a person like trump to support considering his position on Non - white immigration
He has accomplishments to show everyone e.g. secure border, booming economy, low inflation. She needs to tell us what accomplishments she had in last 3.5 years and particularly on 'border issue'.
@@ajm-wu6wd many white veterans used the GI bill to get a free education and to buy homes…helping them to move into the middle class. Black veterans didn’t have those same advantages.
@@ajm-wu6wdit has not been rectified. Its a HUGE part of why there is huge wealth gap. Its why so many white families are able to pay for college for their kids or help then with a down payment on a new home and black parents can't. Google the wealth gap between white and black households. It's HUGE! If it had been rectified that gap wouldn't exist. There's only one way to fix it...years later saying "ok, now you have access to this" doesn't fill that gap. You sound very uninformed saying it's been rectified. Denying people access for decades then suddenly giving them access doesn't fix the damage that's been done.
Good conversation guys! Thanks! And by the way Nimesh here is a lady, grandmother of two, 62 year old that just moved to Germany after living 33:59 41 years in the states…I agree todays USA is not the USA I moved to 41 years ago… not even close….. You asked 33:26 for the ladies to respond and come t on your videos…
I'm impressed that you just used the "Abraham Wald and the missing bullet holes" anecdote to make a point regarding survivorship bias. Knowing about this phenomenon, it's surprising how common survivorship bias is. Great example, Nimesh.
I'm SE Asian-American, and my dad is like your rich cousins. Except my dad isn't Porsche collecting rich, he's more financially secure and has an investment home kind of rich (which is rich to me as someone who grew up poor, but not that rich when you plot my dad on a line of wealth). He just doesn't want to pay taxes, which I think is short sighted. As long as the government isn't wasting my tax dollars (too much) or suction-corruption it, I'm fine, spend my money to improve the lives of all Americans. All that benefit will come to me eventually, one way or another, whether that is a safer, more stable, educated and wealthier society, etc.
In that case it doesn`t even make sense, because Trump has cut taxes for the 1%, not for middle class people and promised to cut taxes for the 1% again. Your dad is not even profitting from Trumps tax cuts. He just hears the rhetoric of "we wanna cut taxes" and doesn`t ask: For whom? Also I wonder where these rich people wanna drive their Porsche`s if we don`t have tax dollars to fix the potholes in roads.
@anthill1510 I mean, if people are that rich, then I guess they'd have enough money to fly over to a foreign country that does invest money in its roads enough that they can just drive their Porsche over there instead.
I love the example for survivor bias. It is a really great story. Bias recognition should be a mandatory subject in school. In the intel analysis career field there training in critical thinking and structured analysis that includes such things because incorrect biases can mean someone dies unnecessarily. Same can be said about policing in the US. And I hear and understand the comments about military budget, but I’ll say the world of industry, politics, and national security is more complicated than a dollar amount. The defense industry has been stripped down by their CEOs to be as efficient as possible to maximize profits. This leaves threadbare production, fewer jobs, and just enough research to keep things viable with other companies trying to do the same. Neither party will address that. But one will at least be decent for the economy, according to economists, and won’t stoke xenophobic fears.
Amazing conversation and takes by a fantastic comedian - and looks like a great all around person. Will make sure to catch your standup when you come to our neck of the woods in the upper midwest (Minneapolis) next.
Extremely informative. We were great friends with a nice /sweet/warm Indian Family from Punjab . “ Tim “ crossed the Mexico border in the 80’s into CA & worked in Hospitality as a Bartender at a private golf club he rubbed shoulders with Famous/Rich Conservatives ( he dropped names of Hollywood actors etc ) worked hard , brought the family & became successful. Being a conservative was never an issue for me. MAGA goes beyond the common sense because it is centered in Whiteness/White folks are loosing everything etc & not putting Country Before Party . It is a WhiteNationalist agenda . “ Tim “ & family embraced MAGA. We were shocked . They are single issue voters ! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ -Taxes ! My wife is first generation Greek & me from Africa 34 yrs ago , gave us a moment to really reflect .
Hey Nimesh! Our healthcare is privatized. They're afraid of it becoming "socialized"......available to all, because their salaries will go down. What? Take away capitalism in medicine????
STRUCTURAL RACISM The other day I worked for an Indian couple who told me they are not interested in Kamala because she will raise their taxes. However, they did not explain how a change from the current administration from Biden to Kamala would increase their taxes. Why would this couple deprive the pride of over a billion people over taxes? Is it greed or something else? The other question I asked this Indian couple was would you risk our democracy over taxes? They did not really answer the question directly but said they don't believe our democracy is at risk and that Kamala is for "justice and equality", as if that is a bad thing. Let's assume our democracy is not at risk, why do this Indian couple think justice and equality is so bad. Logic leads you to conclude that they are racist, and believe they would be better off than others whether or not they lived in a democracy. They believe they are a higher class of society, and therefore they should not have to pay an equal poportional rate of tax to society. However, they will not come out and say it because they know it is unpopular. "A proportional tax is sometimes referred to as a flat tax. It is an income tax system that levies the same percentage tax to everyone regardless of income. A proportional tax is the same for low, middle, and high-income taxpayers." So, for the independant voter, if you think this political shit show by republicans is about money, you are completely wrong!
Im not sure I follow this, but I do find it informative. I can understand not voting for identity politics. And can understand not voting to raise your taxes when the governments of this country are so corrupt. Kamala, on technicality, is better than the alternative. But America has never been a legitimate democracy.
The something else is because she has black blood in her. Don’t fool yourself that Indians, Asians whatever like black people. The disrespect black people all the time. Go to the shops and see how they treat blacks. Nothing new there
OMG you could be describing my experience with my rich Indian-American friends (Im a middle-aged Indian living in India). I was shocked when they denied Trump was a threat to democracy or even that he was a corrupt person. You are right in saying they seem to think they won't be affected by voting a fascist, racist group into power. Additionally I feel they may be anti-Muslim, pro-Putin and Netanyahu, as bad as it sounds. "Taxes" and "immigration" are perhaps just the facades they hide their bigotry behind.
Nimesh, this is the most important podcast you ever have done ❤❤🖖🖖👍👍💙💙👍🖖✊💙💙👍👍 Thank you for caring about your Country, and speak up against idiocracy and trying to inform people 🎉
To answer what I did with our neighbor's dog shit: I, and my son, lived with both of my brothers. My son was running up the hill in front of our house and slipped in the shit of our neighbor's dog. I had several conversations with the man about making sure not to leave ANY of his dog's shit in our yard because it's gross and unneighborly. So, what I did was something he'll never forget. One day, after my son slipped in his dog's shit, I walked my son to school, then, before I had to go to work, I grabbed an empty pita bread bag and walked through both of our yards (front and back) and collected all of the turds his dog left in our yard that he didn't clean up. I took the bag and set it on his doorstep before I headed to work. Later, I get home to my older brother asking what the fuck was I thinking. I ask him why he's so pissed and what he was talking about. He then told me that our neighbor came over and asked who set the pita bag full of shit in front of his door, he just tracked shit all through his living room before he realized he had shit on his shoes, that whoever did it was really passive-aggressive and blah, blah, blah. I simply said to my brother, "Well, it's good to hear he got the message." To which my brother agreed WITH NEIGHBOR that it was really passive-aggressive of me to do that. To which I countered, "It would have been IF, AND ONLY IF, I hadn't had the same conversation with him three or four times before." What do you say about what I did?
@@JusticeisforeveryoneI went next door at 11pm after what my brother told me that he called me passive-aggressive and I yelled at him what was passive-aggressive about politely asking him to clean up his dog's shit in my yard 4 times before I had to resort to something that he'll never forget. I told him if happens again, it'll be a fucking horse's head! My brother heard, busted out laughing and didn't understand it was a Godfather reference 🤣. I shut him down when I called him a fuckin' Fredo Corleone. He's like what are you talking about and I told him to read or watch "The Godfather, Part(s) One & Two".
Us Brits🇬🇧 love curry and hit red brick lane in London which is famous for its Indian restaurants it goes straight through me lol but love a good curry .
Listening to you guys gave so much knowledge about what happened in this country to black and brown people and why so many India people are doctors and it’s difficult to find a black doctor in Sacramento California. I enjoyed you two I got two big words emoluments and extractive.
This conversation is so meaningful coming from you guys who are in the culture, and I really appreciate the serious subject interspersed with humor. With respect to the divided support forVP Harris, back, there is definitely selective racism invovled, as when she was still Senator, and was running, I got into a heated comment fight with an Indian woman who said some rather disgusting stuff about her. Essentially, the woman was a racist, but selectively so. She denigrated the black side of Harris, saying how she isn't really Indian, and is only Indian when convenient, and pretty much said that she was a mongrel. But, at the same time, this woman was bragging about her own kids being half Indian, half white, and she was hella proud of it. I reacted as badly as I did and got a bit mean and petty on the comments because of my own experience, several years back. The thing about immigrants and survivor bias is so dead on. For my culture, it was the Cultural Revolution, and the stories I heard were directly from my parents and grandparents and their close relatives. I grew up on those stories, as I'm a bit older. But I also heard stories from friends and their relatives who dealt with the Indian Partition. It was horrifying, on par with the stuff I heard about my family dealing with having to leave China. Not all my friends who left were rich or highly educated, so they really had to work hard here to have a comfortable life. And they all put up with crap, and tried to be invisible to keep the peace, and just survive.
Mate, England didn't give the Indian govt a penny 😅 The institutional development was almost entirely inhouse, public funded, with a little bit of help from USSR
Comrade Nimesh: please consider bringing Roy Wood Jr into the mix. I love his remix of HIGNFY and his journo skills could create some serious class struggle comedy!
While I do like the idea of affirmative action being based on class and not be based on race, until more people stop being racist I think affirmative action needs to have race in it. But I do really think the true difference in people is their economic class, the haves vs the have nots and those who have (imo) way too much.
Merit should be thing that matters the most. And there is nothing more racist than race based quotas. Economic based quotas are good because they will help those who need it regardless of color. Other than that, people aren't really that racist anymore. People have equal rights, and things have come a long way. Race is no longer a barrier to getting ahead in life. Money is. Some ethnic groups are poorer, but it's still a money problem.
@@ThatPokemonFan-uq7oz I agree about merit, but I don't think affirmative action is racist. Racism also definitely exists and is something I've experienced intimately throughout my life. The question of whether race is a barrier to getting ahead of life is up for debate, But I would agree with the statement that it is becoming less relevant and that socioeconomics and class have more to do with one's future success in life. The last time I checked, the biggest predictor to future wealth is how much past wealth one self or one's family has access to.
@@thejinn99 Racism exists for sure, but is that really what's stopping you from getting ahead in life? From a legal perspective, the answer is no. And think about how Asians are negatively affected by affirmative action. If we agree that socioeconomics and class are more important factors, why should colleges have racial quotas than? Because then a rich or middle class black person has a higher chance of getting in than a poor white or Asian. And in general the merit of someone's work is being ignored just for racial reasons. In the end it's also insulting for black and Latino people because it implies that they only got where they are through quotas. And it seems the people that have benefited the most from affirmative action actually are white women. For some reason, they also get quotas based on gender.
Also those from India apply the caste system ideology; most come to the US benefit from the non capitalistic services provided from the govt., but some, usually the wealthy caste families, come over to exploit the US system for their own benefit. Not only applies to Indian culture but all cultures: the wealthy come to the US to exploit for their own benefit (racist gonna be racist basically), everyone else comes to the US for opportunity.
It's fascinating how little of their own history they know. I almost burst out laughing when one dude starts telling a third party how our families get along. Long story short, their family was pro-British Raj and my family were very much against the whole thing. Apparently my great grandpa went a bit psychotic with it. There is this one story which I found the paper records for and the dude apparently put himself on trial, and a whole trial was conducted, and the reason he got found not guilty of the accused murders was and I quote "Impossible to determine case due to Lord Vishnu cursing bloodline for treason against mother India."
Jokes aside, (but only for a minute) thank you for this conversation. Refreshingly intelligent, compared to a lot of other socio-political conversations being had. And entertaining to boot. Regardless of race/culture… if you teach people, (and they’re willing) they can learn. The ones who are unwilling… fuck ‘em. No joke.
Thank you guys for affirming many of the things that I long sense came to believe was true about America and it's American Dream, which you truly can only believe if you're asleep or sleep walking!!!
A less understood fact about "Capitalist Indian uncles" is that they suffered under Socialist regimes in 20th century India which as you mention was a key factor why private enterprise & jobs were extremely poor in India which forced them to move to US.
When I thought of South Asian politicians I thought of Pramila Jayapal and Ro Khanna!. Guess ignorance was bliss. Agree with economic status tied to affirmative actoon. But diversity is good regardless of past as well. GI Bill was a grest societal success.
Love your comedy, man, you're funny as hell in a wry kind of fashion, imo. Right-wing Anarchist I think is the right qualifier, maybe, that you're looking for rather than activist 🎉
OMG..too funny. I am 50 years old now but I didn't have any idea what Indian or Thai or middle eastern or even Mexican food was. I grew up in Vermont and we just had standard American new England food. My parents were poor. My favorite food was homemade macaroni and cheese with the food shelf Velveeta cheese and fried chicken. I went to California when i was 17 with some friends and i didn't even know what a quesadilla was.. LoL. Then i moved to Colorado and had Indian food and Thai food for the first time. And the Indian food was sooo good and flavorful and amazing. I didn't know food that good existed anywhere in the world. Thai food was also incredible. And middle eastern hummus is soo creamy and tastes way better than zionist or American hummus. In London England the most popular food now is Indian food. So yeah i like spicy hot food but I also love spicy flavorful food. Coconut curry is one of my all time favorite dishes. I love sag paneer and the naan bread especially with garlic and onion is soo good. And when my son was little he used to tell everyone his favorite food was chicken tikki masala. So yeah i think people are mad that there food tastes like shit and they don't even know it. But also claiming the white house would smell like curry isn't the insult loomer thinks it is. These people are so fucking hypocritical and ridiculous. Saying the most horrible racist divisive awful disgusting things on a regular basis and then freaking out and claiming they are the real victim when given a dose of there own medicine. You can't take them seriously!!
Vivek being told by Anne Coulter she would never vote for him because he was not what she perceived as American was a pathetic beautiful moment because Vivek deserved that pretending that Republicans are blind to racism, he is too far gone, money is God to him .
The only thing I share with Trump is that I also would have chosen Stormy Daniels any time over Melania, because she's smart, humorous, beautiful and kind .. and she doesn't deny her mistakes, with mushroom Donald 😅😊

It is crucial to consider that supporting a candidate based on a single policy overlooks the broader implications of their overall platform; by doing so, one risks endorsing policies that may erode the foundations of our democracy.
Their strategy is to distract us with nonsense. They know the media will gobble it up and so they won’t have to talk about their policies.
Imagine people who eat burnt dead animals complaining about smells of exquisite cuisine that was developed over 1000s of years.
Sadly many of these people are ignorant and uneducated and have yet to experience things outside of their little bubble.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Need to make a T-shirt slogan out of this 👍
I mean we all eat burnt dead animals, but curry just enhances that by a lot.
There’s a great Indian restaurant near me and you can smell curry in the parking lot. They have a sign in the window that says “Smells are free” 🤭
I wish I had money for some curry and dhal right now. And garlic naan... Lamb Biryani... I'm freaking hungry!! 😭
@@Toywins Why do I crave curry at my poorest moments?
😂
@@Toywins yes, Garlic Naan and some butter chicken and palak paneer please!!!
I can smell BK, McDonalds, KFC, Popeyes down the street from the locations.🤔
Then Vance doubles down with: “whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken” smh
Im Bahamian and this Vance character doesn't understand what he's fucking with in my Haitian brothers and sisters. He should stop........
My eyes 😳😳😳... It's unbelievable, but I'm not surprised.
Chicken...like orange chicken boss😂
Two cities were quoted in the debate Springfield, OH and Aurora, CO. NO ONE is talking about Aurora, CO, WHY??? There is VIDEO FOOTAGE everyone has seen. Extremely dangerous people. SCARES ALL OF US even to think such people could be knocking our door.
Regarding Springfield, OH, forget the pet eating issue for a minute, how fair it is to dump 20k people in a town of 58k. Isn't that destruction of our country??? Think about your children and grand children's future in such cities. If this continues, USA will become a 3rd world country (like Venezuela, Haiti, Columbia etc.) soon.
Isn't Vances wife Indian?
Thank you so much. This is the first time I heard a thoughtful humorous stance on the reality of the Black and brown folks living in this country. I am a Haitian mother of 3, who came to this country, right after High School in 1986, at the right time. I appreciate your sense and sensibility - Be kind!
You have as much right to be here as anyone! This land is our shared home, and all of us here now are immigrants, however recent. We all arrived from elsewhere *Except for the First Nations People* so anyone white claiming to be a Native, well, they are dishonest and arrogant and racist imo. We are still healing from the atrocities committed by conquistadors and European settlers, and in the process our country has become better and healthier because of the African & Asian diaspora, people coming together, elevating our culture, and improving our communities. 💓
Appreciate you!!!
agreed, being an Indian living here since 1994.. fully get what you are saying.. I mean Ramaswami is perfect poster child of what wealthy Indians like Trump..
Do you think Nimish is NOT wealthy??? Indian Americas are worried that Pakistan lovers are running the show in one party. Indians like a strong leader (avoid puppets) because they suffered under Manmohan Singh and know how much damage they can do. Why do you want USA to have an equivalent of Manmohan Singh (minus his education or experience) running the country? Don't you remember what happened in the November of 2008 when India did a surrender to Pakistan? Source: 'The Promised Land' written by Obama.
Putin, Khameni, Sinwar and Xi will celebrate her win. Our allies Taiwan, Israel will vanish. Weak and 'Word Salad President' will create EMBARASSMENT, and the entire WORLD will LAUGH at US Americans (whether Blue or Red or IND).
Or Usha
Why criticize Vivek or Usha for their success? Most Indians work hard and save and give good values to their kids. Is Nimesh not a millionaire?
@@VK-md7jm I don’t know 1 thing about Ramaswami besides that he is a Republican so I could not criticize. Vance reply to racism against Usha saying, “ of course she is Indian, but she is a good mother?” like she is not good enough because she is Indian? He could have said my wife is the most extraordinary woman period. When Vance said,” women without children are not contributing to this country?” Usha doubled down saying, “ he just meant women who could get pregnant.” This is insane, disgusting, sexist, racist. The point here is not about money but character. If Nimesh has money good for him, so does Bill Maher and other comedians money is not the point here but character.
@@claudiabrown6016 The media has been bad mouthing Vance since he came into the picture just like they have Trump for nearly 10 years now. We are not searching for a friend, marriage partner etc. Please hear the full address regarding women. We are electing a President, a leader who can lead us, keep us SAFE, deal with internal & external THREATS and grow ECONOMY to increase our prosperity. Biden-Harris policies are hurting us. Our savings are getting depleted. Border is not secure affecting our future generations. Weak President will be risky. BIG DIFFERENCE. Walz is a CHINA LOVER and Vance is USA lover and a patriot.
The thing that I've noticed is a lot of South Asian people in the US don't actually know their history. The first South Asians to come to the US were labourers from Punjab and Bengal in the 1800s. People in the US act like everyone who came was a software engineer or doctor. I'm Canadian and I always have to explain to my American cousins that Indian people don't have that same reputation of being doctors and stuff in Canada as in the US. LoL
Indians in Canada are seen as what Hispanics in the US are, probably worse even
You are correct. Such a great nation with 5000 year history and their culture spread from Afghanistan to Indonesia. But reduced to a small area because of mistakes and weakness. If you ask Indian Americans if they heard of Dalip Singh Saund, probably 1% would have heard his name. Most of them here try to ape Americans and drink Kool-Aid. I feel pity for Indians here that they lack pride in their culture and religion and unable to stand up or see what is in their interest or who is on their side. Right now, Pakistan lovers are running the show among Dems. They fail to see it. Bangladesh recently reversed to become East Pakistan. How many Hindu and Sikh lives were lost in 1947? As an Independent swing voter, I can tell you it will get worse for them if Dems win.
I’m a black chick and they’re also saying it’ll smell like collards greens…I thought that ish was funny because collards and curry are the bomb, and saying stuff like this only makes the people who say it look insane, and us black and brown folk continue on enjoying our damn food like 🤷🏾♀️
as I am an African American female and I was very fascinated with your conversation. I did not know young men, other than DL Hughley, still had the kind of intellectual bandwidth do discuss such nuanced and salient topics. I am impressed. I needed this after trying to hook up a college educated young lady with a guy who turned out to be MAGA. As he began to talk about the vaccine conspiracy, I could see her physically moving away in her body language. These guys are more and more going to become incels. And that is sad.
Hilarious guys! I am Greek American and i love Indian food and culture😊 That said, i watch Family Karma tv show and although it's highly entertaining and i love to learn more Indian culture i am seriously repulsed by the wealth displays and sort of money wars that go on. It's sad, Greeks do it too here in America as do lots of other ethnicities. tons of pressure to get rich and that's all people judge you by .. how much money you've amassed. Really- the happiest and funniest and most decent people i know are very middle class. And they generally are not fooled by the orange clown😂 I really connected and laughed with allot of what you said. Keep em coming!
While this is generally true to some extent, please remember that those are Florida Indians LOL
I support Kamala and all the democrats in my state. As an Indian man, why wouldn’t I support my fellow Indians that have the same values and views of the world as me…… plus, she reminds me of my sister - plus plus.
If you are an Indian or of Indian origin, I have news for you. There is full on repeat of Bangladesh plan going for you. Indians should not get emotional because of her Indian name. Do you know what stance has she taken on Kashmir and abrogation of Art 370? Will shock you. Look up her Anti-India views. Vibhuti Jha and Sham Sharma have done detailed videos. Please look up how Dems treated Sunanda Vashistha and Arti Tikoo in hearings about Kashmir. Don't you see under Biden-Harris how Pannu is being protected & promoted. Do you want Kashmir & Punjab NOT to be part of India anymore????
She doesn't even acknowledge as indian rather as black😂. More tax, more wars, more illegal immigrants. Perfect reason to vote.for her
The ability to attain a level of complaining about taxes is a direct result from systems that exist because taxpayers pay taxes. The more you make, the more they SHOULD TAKE from your taxes
To the non-indian americans in the comments confused about where "Indians" stand on Kamala - first of all, we are not a monolith or a brown blob of unthinking racists and casteists who all think the same, you wouldnt want people putting words in your mouth, so dont do that to us. India itself is more diverse than the United States, with more languages and cultures etc, the "Indian identity" americans know is just privileged caste north indian culture. There are vile racists who are Indian and anti-black, and there are Indians who receive casteist oppression from other Indians and many who identify with the history of systemic discrimination faced by black americans as slavery was not unique to the US, we also had it in India where privileged castes enslaved marginalized castes. By stripping us all of individuality and nuance you dehumanize us. Kamala is South Indian, many south Indians, including me, claim her to be both South Indian and Black, and we also notice how Kamala's indianess is dialed down by other Americans in many conversations because of the accepted hatred towards Indians online and in the media.
Why is Harris Indian ness dialed back? Because of the intense racism toward blacks which overrides everything. The white supremacists are the demographic Trump is trying to reach. Oh my, how did we get here?
Kamala's heritage is South Indian Brahmin, so the real oppressors. Lower Caste is not a South Indian thing, In India oppressors and oppressed because of caste system is a whole India thing. It's not like North upper caste South lower caste. North has more lower castes than south India and they are still oppressed. Tamilnadu with all their progressive governments still couldn't end caste system, it's still very much prevalent and I have been to Tamilnadu and as relative of mine married a Tamil tribal girl and their village is still in the dumbs, they can't get their MLA's to give them toilets and water system, they had to travel few kilometres to another village to get those resources. I am from B.T.R. Assam.
I grew up with some vile racist Indians in Kenya. Straight after high school, I worked part time for an Indianl nursery school where the black teachers weren't even allowed to step foot into the staff room . We literally took our breaks standing outside watching the kids play and ate our lunch standing, while the "real teachers"(Indian) ate and relaxed in the plush room that i never ever saw in the 2 months i forced myself to work there. The only Indian that socialized with us was Goan- and basically was one roti above the Africans. Lucky for me I only took the job to keep busy while waiting to go to Uni. There were African Staff who'd worked under these conditions for over 10 years with no other options 😢.
That being said, over the years I have met a diversity of Indians and I am much more aware of how diverse the diaspora is. And this is not unique to Indians but given how huge the Indian population is, it's more visible now worldwide.
Kamala/Waltz 💙💙
Kamala Harris's mother is a Brahmin. So is Ramaswamy.
It's funny how you yourself stereotype "North Indian upper caste" while calling out stereotypes😂😂
Got the most basic thing wrong for all this verbal diarrhoea
He is absolutely correct! I have many Indian friends who pray for Trump win as in their opinion he is going to speed up GReen Card process. *Which really blows my mind away* It is extremely rare to find an Indian in America or back home who is on the compassionate side of the society!
There is full on repeat of Bangladesh plan going for you. Indians should not get emotional because of her Indian name. Do you know what stance has she taken on Kashmir and abrogation of Art 370?

That is absolutely not going to happen, bless their hearts. The green card process is an extremely long process regardless of administration.
Hate to say this but last time around Trump basically froze the whole green card process - everything was greatly slowed down or halted entirely.
@@CassandraCassandra. True, as far as Government, All he believes in is understaffing the Government. Not sure which paradise the folks live in that understaffing will speed up Green card processing.
What a great nuanced conversation. I wish my NIMBY/turning into uncles desi friends had the mental capacity to comprehend this.
This is a great discussion. I think rich conservative leaning Indians just forget this basic principle - tax is a fee you pay to live in a civilized society. They enjoy and proud of the privileges of living in a relatively civilized country but don’t want to pay for it, especially when they have the success to contribute more. They use an easy excuse of inherent political corruption they left behind back home when pressed.
People are not against taxes as a concept. Its the excessive taxing through various means and the wasteful handling of government finances.
Very well said. It’s an inherent selfishness and lack of social cohesion that our culture builds in us that contributes to this mentality. I am Indian by culture and I am proud to pay more taxes - well contributing through various means to the society I live in.

Thanks for your contribution to your country.
You are welcome to Sweden and Scandinavia any day, and you have the right idea of democracy and taxes 👍🖖✊please vote for Kamala Harris and not the Psycho Trump,
You are helping the whole world and democracy if you do that..
They just don’t want to pay any taxes. Period. They don’t believe in contributing to the society or paying back. They don’t want their tax dollars paying for programs for the underprivileged yet have no problem using every available government program to take care of their older parents who have not paid a cent in taxes in this country. Totally selfish people who don’t have any interest in the welfare of this country. Sorry but ashamed to call them fellow Indian Americans.

That’s why i love Nimesh… this discussion over here.
Both of you… great podcast.
Thank you Namish for this conversation. I’ve always struggled to understand the dynamic of Indians willingness to accept a person like trump to support considering his position on Non - white immigration
Why should non white Americans be forced to support non white immigrants lol
The Single issue "I vote Republican because they lower my taxes" Desis really piss me off. This is such a brilliant discussion.
You must be a millionaire then to have your taxes lowered by Republicans
Republicans reduce taxes for a millionaire not middle class.
@@jhasemiAll the desi uncles that Nimesh and Asif are talking about are millionaires.
He has accomplishments to show everyone e.g. secure border, booming economy, low inflation. She needs to tell us what accomplishments she had in last 3.5 years and particularly on 'border issue'.
@@jhasemiThey often make tax cuts for middle class people as well.
Remember that the GI bill was orginally not for black soldiers. Check it out.
1.2 million black WW II veterans were denied the benefits of the GI Bill because of how the bill was structured.
Don’t start speaking facts my brother.
We in here.. speak the truth bro
@@ajm-wu6wd many white veterans used the GI bill to get a free education and to buy homes…helping them to move into the middle class. Black veterans didn’t have those same advantages.
@@ajm-wu6wdit has not been rectified. Its a HUGE part of why there is huge wealth gap. Its why so many white families are able to pay for college for their kids or help then with a down payment on a new home and black parents can't.
Google the wealth gap between white and black households. It's HUGE! If it had been rectified that gap wouldn't exist. There's only one way to fix it...years later saying "ok, now you have access to this" doesn't fill that gap. You sound very uninformed saying it's been rectified. Denying people access for decades then suddenly giving them access doesn't fix the damage that's been done.
Good conversation guys! Thanks! And by the way Nimesh here is a lady, grandmother of two, 62 year old that just moved to Germany after living 33:59 41 years in the states…I agree todays USA is not the USA I moved to 41 years ago… not even close…..
You asked 33:26 for the ladies to respond and come t on your videos…
Well I had to watch this as soon as it appeared in my feed!🙌🏽
I'm impressed that you just used the "Abraham Wald and the missing bullet holes" anecdote to make a point regarding survivorship bias. Knowing about this phenomenon, it's surprising how common survivorship bias is. Great example, Nimesh.
I'm SE Asian-American, and my dad is like your rich cousins. Except my dad isn't Porsche collecting rich, he's more financially secure and has an investment home kind of rich (which is rich to me as someone who grew up poor, but not that rich when you plot my dad on a line of wealth). He just doesn't want to pay taxes, which I think is short sighted. As long as the government isn't wasting my tax dollars (too much) or suction-corruption it, I'm fine, spend my money to improve the lives of all Americans. All that benefit will come to me eventually, one way or another, whether that is a safer, more stable, educated and wealthier society, etc.
Thanks for your enlightened attitude.
In that case it doesn`t even make sense, because Trump has cut taxes for the 1%, not for middle class people and promised to cut taxes for the 1% again. Your dad is not even profitting from Trumps tax cuts. He just hears the rhetoric of "we wanna cut taxes" and doesn`t ask: For whom?
Also I wonder where these rich people wanna drive their Porsche`s if we don`t have tax dollars to fix the potholes in roads.
@anthill1510 I mean, if people are that rich, then I guess they'd have enough money to fly over to a foreign country that does invest money in its roads enough that they can just drive their Porsche over there instead.
Wow, eye opening. Thank you Nimesh and Asif!
I love the example for survivor bias. It is a really great story. Bias recognition should be a mandatory subject in school. In the intel analysis career field there training in critical thinking and structured analysis that includes such things because incorrect biases can mean someone dies unnecessarily. Same can be said about policing in the US. And I hear and understand the comments about military budget, but I’ll say the world of industry, politics, and national security is more complicated than a dollar amount. The defense industry has been stripped down by their CEOs to be as efficient as possible to maximize profits. This leaves threadbare production, fewer jobs, and just enough research to keep things viable with other companies trying to do the same. Neither party will address that. But one will at least be decent for the economy, according to economists, and won’t stoke xenophobic fears.
Amazing conversation and takes by a fantastic comedian - and looks like a great all around person. Will make sure to catch your standup when you come to our neck of the woods in the upper midwest (Minneapolis) next.
Extremely informative. We were great friends with a nice /sweet/warm Indian Family from Punjab . “ Tim “ crossed the Mexico border in the 80’s into CA & worked in Hospitality as a Bartender at a private golf club he rubbed shoulders with Famous/Rich Conservatives ( he dropped names of Hollywood actors etc ) worked hard , brought the family & became successful. Being a conservative was never an issue for me. MAGA goes beyond the common sense because it is centered in Whiteness/White folks are loosing everything etc & not putting Country Before Party . It is a WhiteNationalist agenda . “ Tim “ & family embraced MAGA. We were shocked . They are single issue voters ! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ -Taxes ! My wife is first generation Greek & me from Africa 34 yrs ago , gave us a moment to really reflect .
Hey Nimesh! Our healthcare is privatized. They're afraid of it becoming "socialized"......available to all, because their salaries will go down. What? Take away capitalism in medicine????
Righteous! Digging Asif's perspectives.
Thanks for being who you are Nimesh🙏🙏waiting for Netflix special
This was a very thoughtful discussion - thank you for this. From a first gen immigrant
SO much better than the usual. I appreciate the independent thinking. Thanks Nimesh, I just subscribed.
Loomer has TH-cam Channel and she ate dog food live to promote it.
No wonder she's been in a mental institution twice, yikes.
STRUCTURAL RACISM
The other day I worked for an Indian couple who told me they are not interested in Kamala because she will raise their taxes. However, they did not explain how a change from the current administration from Biden to Kamala would increase their taxes.
Why would this couple deprive the pride of over a billion people over taxes?
Is it greed or something else?
The other question I asked this Indian couple was would you risk our democracy over taxes?
They did not really answer the question directly but said they don't believe our democracy is at risk and that Kamala is for "justice and equality", as if that is a bad thing.
Let's assume our democracy is not at risk, why do this Indian couple think justice and equality is so bad.
Logic leads you to conclude that they are racist, and believe they would be better off than others whether or not they lived in a democracy. They believe they are a higher class of society, and therefore they should not have to pay an equal poportional rate of tax to society. However, they will not come out and say it because they know it is unpopular.
"A proportional tax is sometimes referred to as a flat tax. It is an income tax system that levies the same percentage tax to everyone regardless of income. A proportional tax is the same for low, middle, and high-income taxpayers."
So, for the independant voter, if you think this political shit show by republicans is about money, you are completely wrong!
????
Im not sure I follow this, but I do find it informative.
I can understand not voting for identity politics. And can understand not voting to raise your taxes when the governments of this country are so corrupt.
Kamala, on technicality, is better than the alternative. But America has never been a legitimate democracy.
These type of caste- oriented immigrants scare me a lot more than the Haitians in Springfield.
The something else is because she has black blood in her. Don’t fool yourself that Indians, Asians whatever like black people. The disrespect black people all the time. Go to the shops and see how they treat blacks. Nothing new there
OMG you could be describing my experience with my rich Indian-American friends (Im a middle-aged Indian living in India). I was shocked when they denied Trump was a threat to democracy or even that he was a corrupt person. You are right in saying they seem to think they won't be affected by voting a fascist, racist group into power. Additionally I feel they may be anti-Muslim, pro-Putin and Netanyahu, as bad as it sounds. "Taxes" and "immigration" are perhaps just the facades they hide their bigotry behind.
Curry food is awesome. I'm Jamaican, and I love ❤️ curry.
Nimesh, this is the most important podcast you ever have done ❤❤🖖🖖👍👍💙💙👍🖖✊💙💙👍👍
Thank you for caring about your Country, and speak up against idiocracy and trying to inform people 🎉
this pod was good, fam.. after seeing your stand up clips and this pod.. I have to subscribe and this pod in my rotation 👍🏽✌🏽
I love curry. I met a lot of Indians in University and they were smart. Very hardworking.
To answer what I did with our neighbor's dog shit:
I, and my son, lived with both of my brothers. My son was running up the hill in front of our house and slipped in the shit of our neighbor's dog. I had several conversations with the man about making sure not to leave ANY of his dog's shit in our yard because it's gross and unneighborly. So, what I did was something he'll never forget. One day, after my son slipped in his dog's shit, I walked my son to school, then, before I had to go to work, I grabbed an empty pita bread bag and walked through both of our yards (front and back) and collected all of the turds his dog left in our yard that he didn't clean up. I took the bag and set it on his doorstep before I headed to work. Later, I get home to my older brother asking what the fuck was I thinking. I ask him why he's so pissed and what he was talking about. He then told me that our neighbor came over and asked who set the pita bag full of shit in front of his door, he just tracked shit all through his living room before he realized he had shit on his shoes, that whoever did it was really passive-aggressive and blah, blah, blah. I simply said to my brother, "Well, it's good to hear he got the message." To which my brother agreed WITH NEIGHBOR that it was really passive-aggressive of me to do that. To which I countered, "It would have been IF, AND ONLY IF, I hadn't had the same conversation with him three or four times before." What do you say about what I did?
Hopefully he learned since he didn’t understand when you talked with him.
@@JusticeisforeveryoneI went next door at 11pm after what my brother told me that he called me passive-aggressive and I yelled at him what was passive-aggressive about politely asking him to clean up his dog's shit in my yard 4 times before I had to resort to something that he'll never forget. I told him if happens again, it'll be a fucking horse's head! My brother heard, busted out laughing and didn't understand it was a Godfather reference 🤣. I shut him down when I called him a fuckin' Fredo Corleone. He's like what are you talking about and I told him to read or watch "The Godfather, Part(s) One & Two".

Education should be free for everyone. Starting a business should be a priorty for every community. Helping small business should also be a priority.
This conversation is so meaningful coming from you guys who are in the culture, and I really appreciate the serious subject interspersed with humor. With respect to the divided support forVP Harris, back, there is definitely selective racism invovled, as when she was still Senator, and was running, I got into a heated comment fight with an Indian woman who said some rather disgusting stuff about her. Essentially, the woman was a racist, but selectively so. She denigrated the black side of Harris, saying how she isn't really Indian, and is only Indian when convenient, and pretty much said that she was a mongrel. But, at the same time, this woman was bragging about her own kids being half Indian, half white, and she was hella proud of it. I reacted as badly as I did and got a bit mean and petty on the comments because of my own experience, several years back.
The thing about immigrants and survivor bias is so dead on. For my culture, it was the Cultural Revolution, and the stories I heard were directly from my parents and grandparents and their close relatives. I grew up on those stories, as I'm a bit older. But I also heard stories from friends and their relatives who dealt with the Indian Partition. It was horrifying, on par with the stuff I heard about my family dealing with having to leave China. Not all my friends who left were rich or highly educated, so they really had to work hard here to have a comfortable life. And they all put up with crap, and tried to be invisible to keep the peace, and just survive.
Mate, England didn't give the Indian govt a penny 😅
The institutional development was almost entirely inhouse, public funded, with a little bit of help from USSR
Sorry Mate! UK funded the Madras IIT and gave development funds every year, not much but in few millions

Thank you.
Appreciated the raw honesty of this discussion. Subscribed.
While I do like the idea of affirmative action being based on class and not be based on race, until more people stop being racist I think affirmative action needs to have race in it. But I do really think the true difference in people is their economic class, the haves vs the have nots and those who have (imo) way too much.
Merit should be thing that matters the most. And there is nothing more racist than race based quotas. Economic based quotas are good because they will help those who need it regardless of color. Other than that, people aren't really that racist anymore. People have equal rights, and things have come a long way. Race is no longer a barrier to getting ahead in life. Money is. Some ethnic groups are poorer, but it's still a money problem.
@@ThatPokemonFan-uq7oz I agree about merit, but I don't think affirmative action is racist. Racism also definitely exists and is something I've experienced intimately throughout my life.
The question of whether race is a barrier to getting ahead of life is up for debate, But I would agree with the statement that it is becoming less relevant and that socioeconomics and class have more to do with one's future success in life.
The last time I checked, the biggest predictor to future wealth is how much past wealth one self or one's family has access to.
@@thejinn99 Racism exists for sure, but is that really what's stopping you from getting ahead in life? From a legal perspective, the answer is no. And think about how Asians are negatively affected by affirmative action. If we agree that socioeconomics and class are more important factors, why should colleges have racial quotas than? Because then a rich or middle class black person has a higher chance of getting in than a poor white or Asian. And in general the merit of someone's work is being ignored just for racial reasons. In the end it's also insulting for black and Latino people because it implies that they only got where they are through quotas. And it seems the people that have benefited the most from affirmative action actually are white women. For some reason, they also get quotas based on gender.
fuck it..I watched some clips so I am going to check this out

this "insult" would have worked 20 years ago. today though many people love curries.
Also those from India apply the caste system ideology; most come to the US benefit from the non capitalistic services provided from the govt., but some, usually the wealthy caste families, come over to exploit the US system for their own benefit.
Not only applies to Indian culture but all cultures: the wealthy come to the US to exploit for their own benefit (racist gonna be racist basically), everyone else comes to the US for opportunity.
It's fascinating how little of their own history they know. I almost burst out laughing when one dude starts telling a third party how our families get along. Long story short, their family was pro-British Raj and my family were very much against the whole thing. Apparently my great grandpa went a bit psychotic with it. There is this one story which I found the paper records for and the dude apparently put himself on trial, and a whole trial was conducted, and the reason he got found not guilty of the accused murders was and I quote "Impossible to determine case due to Lord Vishnu cursing bloodline for treason against mother India."
Why are democrats so obsessed with the caste system
Indian descent and proud to see thru the cesspool of Trump and his Trumpers. Proud democrat here
Why do you support democrats? You do realize democrats have been thoroughly anti Indian right?
You guys are hilarious! Keep it up!
Loving This shit 💯💯💯
Not the one in the bag I hope. lol
Jokes aside, (but only for a minute) thank you for this conversation. Refreshingly intelligent, compared to a lot of other socio-political conversations being had. And entertaining to boot. Regardless of race/culture… if you teach people, (and they’re willing) they can learn. The ones who are unwilling… fuck ‘em. No joke.
Jamaican food is amazing which is due that culinary blend
The food will be slamming either way
Indians hated Obama
Curry aroma is infinitely better than trump's waste solids and air.
@@delbre55 😮😮😮😮 😂😂😂
Never heard of Indians hating Obama.
Indians hated Obama? Since when?
You two should run for the white house! I would vote for you even if I'm an illegal!
Thank you guys for affirming many of the things that I long sense came to believe was true about America and it's American Dream, which you truly can only believe if you're asleep or sleep walking!!!
We are so back
Such a thinking person!! Taxes are good for you .. safety nests are life saving!!
A less understood fact about "Capitalist Indian uncles" is that they suffered under Socialist regimes in 20th century India which as you mention was a key factor why private enterprise & jobs were extremely poor in India which forced them to move to US.
It's should be an easy decision Curry smell or stale dipers i am going with the curry.😅😅😅
When I thought of South Asian politicians I thought of Pramila Jayapal and Ro Khanna!. Guess ignorance was bliss. Agree with economic status tied to affirmative actoon. But diversity is good regardless of past as well. GI Bill was a grest societal success.
Yeah they are the better representatives . Ro khanna and pramila are very good
Nimesh seems like the people's champ.
Love your comedy, man, you're funny as hell in a wry kind of fashion, imo. Right-wing Anarchist I think is the right qualifier, maybe, that you're looking for rather than activist 🎉
Ramaswamy Types 😂😂😂😂 I know exactly what u mean. Had a few in school.
OMG..too funny. I am 50 years old now but I didn't have any idea what Indian or Thai or middle eastern or even Mexican food was. I grew up in Vermont and we just had standard American new England food. My parents were poor. My favorite food was homemade macaroni and cheese with the food shelf Velveeta cheese and fried chicken. I went to California when i was 17 with some friends and i didn't even know what a quesadilla was.. LoL.
Then i moved to Colorado and had Indian food and Thai food for the first time. And the Indian food was sooo good and flavorful and amazing. I didn't know food that good existed anywhere in the world. Thai food was also incredible. And middle eastern hummus is soo creamy and tastes way better than zionist or American hummus.
In London England the most popular food now is Indian food. So yeah i like spicy hot food but I also love spicy flavorful food. Coconut curry is one of my all time favorite dishes. I love sag paneer and the naan bread especially with garlic and onion is soo good. And when my son was little he used to tell everyone his favorite food was chicken tikki masala.
So yeah i think people are mad that there food tastes like shit and they don't even know it. But also claiming the white house would smell like curry isn't the insult loomer thinks it is. These people are so fucking hypocritical and ridiculous. Saying the most horrible racist divisive awful disgusting things on a regular basis and then freaking out and claiming they are the real victim when given a dose of there own medicine. You can't take them seriously!!
Remember when they warned us that there would be taco trucks on every corner? These scare tactics are dumb af
Oh my God, you guys are awesome. Funny as hell. 😂
Nimesh, Loomer makes money from Russia. That's her employer.
Vivek being told by Anne Coulter she would never vote for him because he was not what she perceived as American was a pathetic beautiful moment because Vivek deserved that pretending that Republicans are blind to racism, he is too far gone, money is God to him .
Your effortlessly awesome Nimesh.
Having an affair with stormy when his wife was pregnant
The only thing I share with Trump is that I also would have chosen Stormy Daniels any time over Melania, because she's smart, humorous, beautiful and kind .. and she doesn't deny her mistakes, with mushroom Donald 😅😊
You know the answer my friend! Everyone wants a piece of the pie.
