If I were an Indian politician in America I would do everything in my power to make people forget I'm Indian. I couldn't change the color of my skin but I could dress like a westerner, speak in a neutral accent, and not take my shoes off indoors. I would also never bring up race or racism, and never ever bring up the subject of India.
Would this get me elected? Maybe, maybe not, but it would help tremendously.
But that's my strategic White Man brain thinking. A brain that is capable of comprehending consequences. I know in the real world, Indians are so arrogant that they can't drop the fucking Indian supremacy shtick for two fucking seconds, even if it would help them get ahead in life.
Like if you shipped me off to Elbonia and I were running for governor of Blowhio province, I would never, ever, ever bring up the fact that I was American, and only talk about Elbonia and Elbonian people, and never play the race or identity politics card. Because I'm not blindingly obsessed with America to the point that I would sabotage myself over it.
