BACKGROUND -WHO IS ANN COULTER AND WHO IS VIVEK RAMASWAMY?
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter

Coulter has also written 13 books.[3]
Early life
Ann Hart Coulter was born on December 8, 1961,[4] in New York City, to John Vincent Coulter (1926–2008), an FBI agent from a working class Catholic Irish American and German American family[5] in Albany, New York, and Nell Husbands Coulter (née Martin; 1928–2009), who was born in Paducah, Kentucky."...

THREE EXAMPLES OF SUMMARY STATEMENTS FROM AFRICAN AMERICAN PODCASTS ABOUT ANN COULTER'S COMMENTS ON VIVEK RAMASWAMY'S PODCAST
Pancocojams Editor's Note: These summary statements from African American podcasts that covered this subject are only a small sample of the African American podcasts about this subject.
These summary statements are given in no particular order and are numbered for references purposes only.
Podcast Summary Statement #1 [This is the summary statement for the video that is given at the top of this pancocojams post.]
From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH7wSl2dvcw "Coulter is When Racism Doesn't Dress Up in Public", published by Reese Waters, May 14, 2024 #anncoulter #vivekramaswamy
"Conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter told former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy that she would not back him for the GOP nomination because “you’re an Indian.” Because of course she did. She's Ann Coulter. On Vivek Ramaswamy's podcast released Wednesday, the pair spoke about nationalism and the basis of American identity.
“I agreed with many many things you said during — in fact, probably more than most other candidates — when you were running for president, but I still would not have voted for you, because you’re an Indian,” she said.
When challenged, eventually, by Ramaswamy, Coulter then said she would only vote for candidates who are WASPs — White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.#anncoulter #vivekramaswamy #racism"

Podcast Summary Statement #2
From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgIhBjC9jqk "Ann Coulter Makes RACIST Comment Against Vivek Ramaswamy!" published by Marc Lamont Hill, May 11, 2024
"Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter sparked controversy during a conversation with ex-GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. In a video capturing the exchange, Coulter bluntly expressed that she wouldn't have voted for Ramaswamy due to his Indian heritage.
During their discussion on Ramaswamy's "Truth" podcast, Coulter unabashedly stated her stance, asserting that despite agreeing with many of Ramaswamy's viewpoints, his ethnicity would have deterred her vote. She went further, articulating a belief in a core national identity centered around the acronym WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant), suggesting that individuals outside of this demographic are somehow peripheral to the nation's values."

Podcast Summary Statement #3
From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcsIU5orXXM&t=36s "VIVEK RAMASWAMY: Now What Did We Learn??? Ann Coulter Said Not So Fast... Race & U.S. Politics", published by Calvin Michaels, May 11, 2024 #anncoulter #vivekramaswamy #Race
"The thought of inviting an openly racist public figure on your platform and thinking you had any leverage with them. Every now and then for some folks reality sets in and becomes a painful pill to swallow. Sadly Vivek will still indulge in the same foolery for his come up.
Now let's see how many people dance around what was said by Ann Coulter."

Americans about the culture of this country. I guess Vivek had to learn the
