South Asians are a powerful, visible minority in the Trump administration. They’re also facing a racist backlash, fueled in part by the white nationalist Groyper movement.
JD and Usha were put together by the literal “tiger mom” as the right’s very delayed response to Bill and Hillary as a “two-for-one” future presidential candidate. She paired them up, got Usha her SC clerkship, taught Vance how to “write” his book, and got him linked up
trump came out of nowhere tho and doubled down on the white supremacy, which is why Vance is gonna switch to Erika.
People always say Thiel made Vance, but the only reason he showed up on Thiels radar in the first place was Amy Chua.
She’s the real leopard here, and she served up a lot of other people’s faces alongside her own.

Like, if you only know her from “Tiger Mom” books, it sounds crazy. But she’s always been a piece of shit. And why there’s no proof or likely every will be (she is actually very intelligent) I’ve always saw her pushing for Republicans to include Indians, was because that would give her demographic a chance to swoop in between. She had always wanted Chinese in the Republican fold, but didn’t want to try a conventional path that would place them lowest on the totem pole.
So they bring in “South Asians” and as soon as white supremacists are able to tolerate them, “Asians” show up with the same propaganda laid negative connotations against “South” and with a lighter skin tone. And unit with the white supremacists punching down on others.
I’d never in a million years give trump or even Vance enough credit to come up with that plan.
But the literal Tiger Mom?
Putting into place a plan a couple years before he kids graduated ivy law school that would make them racially palpable to the Republican party?
I mean, they were set up to be folded in…
