“You can tell that an ethnic group is really flourishing in the United States when they start to produce prominent xenophobes and racists, particularly of the anti-Black variety. The trajectory from victim to victimizer is one of the surest markers of upward social mobility.” This is how Jeet Heer, writer for The Nation and guest on the show this week, opened his recent piece on the rise of nationally prominent Indian American politicians.
Indian Americans overwhelmingly support Democrats at the ballot box these days, with an estimated 74% choosing Biden over Trump in 2020, but whiteness in American society is flexible. Some immigrant groups that faced intense xenophobia would eventually be folded into whiteness, like German or Irish Americans. That often changed their political beliefs.
And with prominent Indian-Americans like Nikki Haley running as Republicans, will there be a right-ward swing for the community?
