"I want to know how the Indian community feels about this.

 

Mainly the fact that Vivek apologised after she was racist to the whole community not just him and he thanked her afterwards."

"A lot of us have inferiority complex due to the British rule towards the anglo saxion, well in the internet age we realise that entire continents native population got wiped out America(Native americans), Australia(natives) somehow we survived. We were slaves too, seeing Vivek take a bow reminds us the psychological things our ancestors did to survive infront of the colonialists and it hurts deep we keep quite to this day. But may be because it's our own fault we were not strong enough.

We need to be humble and learn from other communities especially africans who have suffered the most I feel.

The only ethnic community that didn't take a bow or defended against the colonialist were the slavic people current day Russia..

We have a lot of learning to do... from all the other community.

And I deeply apologise the way Vivek has acted treating black community differently. No matter how educated he is or how much money he has."

"As an Indian myself, I already knew this about majority of GOP (and many Dems too), but good on Coulter to at least tell him to his face.

 

I don't like him and wouldn't want him as president but if that whiteworshipper sticks to GOP by 2040, they might give him a chance by then."

"As an Indian I agree and this should be a lesson for my community. We have to learn from how other races deal with racism especially black folks. I hope your community overcomes from what has been done..."
