I don't know how his wife accepts what he says

[–] Stolas@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I feel so sorry for her and her children.

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

Why, she married the couchfucker.

She could and should have left ages ago. The kids, yeah, they're getting the shaft on this.

[–] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Women can be racist as well, you know

[–] Molvorin@feddit.dk 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It's not because of her gender. But her parents are immigrants from India

Their own children are multiethnic

She wasn't coerced AFAIK. She chose this scumbag and continues to stay with him. I don't have much sympathy for that. I feel bad for the kids though.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I'm okay thanks

Couchfucker

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

He may be rich enough.

He seems like the kind of guy who has a couple couches though.

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.

Pretty sure they already do

First daddy came for...

(Yes couch, I know, valid, but chill out - this is a Holocaust reference. Let it be...)

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 95 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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

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.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

He said it's become dirtier and poorer since Trump's first term, which is actually true.

It's just that it also got dirtier and poorer during trump's first term too.

trump broke a bunch of shit, and Biden didn't fix it. Now Trump's breaking more shit and we're gonna keep getting dirtier and poorer.

Has nothing to do with with ethnic makeup tho.

[–] nomen_dubium@startrek.website 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

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?

Vance is one of those freaky shapeshifters whose positions and principles contort anew as necessary to stay adjacent to power.

His kids are likely not just traumatized by him but terrified of the kind of monster he is.

They hate and fear him already.

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

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

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

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Married to a brown woman, but the backdrop behind him is almost all white, young, able-bodied, thin women.

Uh huh. Yeah. Tell us how much you actually love your wife, you couchfucking pressure sore of a human.

Most Indians in American politics are Republicans. Those repubs think they are white. I feel Usha and her kids don't see the brown when they look in the mirror. Sad.

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

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

Diaspora Indians are, somehow, white Europeans. Also, some confused Latinos. They'll learn eventually that Western imperialism cannot be separated from white supremacy, requiring the dehumanisation of others as a foundation, and they'll be a main target sooner or later before white infighting takes place ("are Italians even white???"/"fucking Krauts!").

That's jumping to conclusions, that they don't hate him already.
