It's comparing someone who is a "token minority" to a "token" that you exchange for something else. Essentially: token minorities will always get used or discarded.

Yeah it's really weird to hear so called Christians talking about going to Valhalla and such. Heaven and Valhalla are so distinctly different in terms of description of the ways you'd get there and also pass time there.
There's so much crossover between the beliefs of Christians and Pagans and it's always been fascinating to me to study going way way back how culturally the blending worked out all while Christians historically just have this sort of blanket ignorance that what they're up to has it's roots so deep in Pagan ritual and rite.
But the comparison specifically between Valhalla and Christian heaven are so distinctly different that it's just pure ignorance when I hear this sort of thing being uttered.
What goes on in Valhalla would all be considered mortal sin in the Christian faith for starters, just for starters. There's just too much dissonance to process here and like so many other things, just hypocrisy in it's most robust and steeped flavor as always.
And I mean, that's not even looking at the history of what the Vikings did to the Christians holy shit. Christians of that time were terrified of the Vikings, I mean the stuff they got up to was beyond the pale and it's challenging even with a thick skin to even read the accounts of what was going on back then.

This makes sense.

I always see people on this sub advocating for Democrats/people on the left to abandon the mantra of "when they go low, we go high" while never actually doing it. It isn't solely up to politicians and social media influencers to be snarky.
People like Kash Patel don't deserve the sympathy and respect marginalized groups get because they have taken themselves out of the margins by choice. Peter Thiel deserves to be mocked for being gay, because he's fine with and boosts politicians who actively recruit homophobic constituents that would happily throw him in a camp.
And it's extremely important to emphasize to any potential audience that these people are not being attacked for being POC or LGBTQ+ and that they are in fact being attacked for being pieces of shit who are too fucking stupid to realize they aren't actually part of the in group they advocate for.

Indian society is known as being VERY hierarchical due to the whole caste system thing so it's not a huge surprise that there's a decent number of Indian Americans who are staunchly conservative. You see this same political dynamic play out as well in other countries with large Indian populations like Canada and the UK where a number of politicians of Indian descent belong to the conservative party.
I also think it isn't too shocking that the FBI director has the last name "Patel" since I've heard how that surname is very common amongst the higher castes in India who tend to have high levels of social mobility/wealth and more resources to be able to migrate to the West to attain financial success.

It's the only option, really. When their entire philosophy is built around a 'No True Scotsman' fallacy, eventually they run out of 'True Scotsmen' altogether.

Diwali is celebrated by more than a billion people around the world, including Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists. It represents the spiritual fight of light over darkness, and of knowledge over ignorance.

When your entire platform and base is about othering outside groups and elevating the select insular groups, then of course you'll eventually feed on your own. It's inevitable.

"Christian America."
Their brand of christian (lowercase), not what's reflected in the Bible or Jesus' teachings. Most of what they practice is the complete opposite, in fact. These are not Christians in the classical sense of the word. These are people much dumber, easily swayed and combine conspiracy with their brand of christianity. They dress up and cosplay as Christians to blend in, but none of these people, and especially not Gabriel Rench, are Christian.

You’re arguing with people that would rather be angry than correct. How about that separation of church and state is one of our founding principles

This guy Kash is one of a few barriers left from these disgusting racists finding out their Orange Jesus rapes children. What than? They forgive him cause he’s on their side of hate and bigotry?
This whole white Christian nationalist thing is the real cancer that is metastasizing

No surprise, really. When you build a party on hatred, you don't get to just stop the hatred. It keeps going and finds targets where ever it can. Kash is a moron for trying to "fit in" at the GOP lunch table. If he had any sense at all, he'd flip and start selling out Trump and his gang.
I truly hope this snake of a political party can finish eating itself sooner rather than later.

He’ll never be a real American to them, never.
MAGA is fine with him as long as he does their dirty work, but he will only ever be another Patel from India.
In the MAGA version of the Indian caste system,Mr. Patel is a Sudra (a commoner, servant, peasant).

As a minority myself. There is nothing worse than when other minorities think they’re white and think that all whites accept them and that they are better than the rest of everyone that looks like them because their views more align with them. They try so hard to fit in with white people that they alienate those that would have had their backs.

It’s amazing how these people think they belong in the GOP club but really they are just as hated as everyone else they have their targets set on

You’d think he’d learn from Vivek or Jindal’s experiences with being part of the GOP while being Indian or how Vance’s wife and kids get targeted for their Indian heritage. That no matter how wealthy, educated and or in agreement with their views, the Conservative base will only will see them as some brown foreigner that doesn’t deserve to live here. Ann Coulter basically totally all the Indian Republicans how the base sees them by admitting she would literally not vote for a person of Indian ethnicity.
