Why isn't the American right talking about this sort of "cancel culture?"
Oh boo-hoo, you got shadowbanned on Facebook? This journalist's father got arrested and sent to a military camp and told to tell his son to write nicer articles about India or else.
I can’t help but think that part of many Americans indifference to this is their feeling that Indian Americans and residents don’t really count and they’re still more Indian than they are American, so it’s not great but isn’t the same as meddling with a “real” American. I feel like we saw something similar with Khashoggi’s execution. “Of course modi can interfere in their lives, they’re of Indian heritage…” as if they’d tolerate a European premier telling white Americans what to do or else
Yeah I don’t see the American right identifying with a person of south East Asian heritage enough to care.
I wouldn't be so sure...
There's always Vivek. It rhymes with cake.
Also, Dinesh D'Sousa.
This is literally the first I've heard of this (fwiw)
The only time I've ever gotten in trouble on instagram was for making a joke about how Indians don't use turn signals. Almost immediate account restriction for hate speech, but I'm in canada amd we've imported a lot.
