Maybe it's some sort of confirmation bias, but it seems like there's a lot of prominent right wing people of Indian ancestry (Vivek Ramaswamy, Dinesh D'Souza, Nikki Haley). Is it confirmation bias or is this a real thing? If the latter, what is driving it other than US immigration policies excluding leftists?

I've noticed it too and it feels like white supremacy is at least tolerating people of Indian descent. Until there's a leopards eating face moment like Haley having to bend the knee to Trump or Ann Coulter telling Vivek she won't vote for him because of his skin color.

white supremacy has been known to tolerate minorities who serve it (I forget the exact phrase that sums this up pithily), but i even see this phenomenon on my local level here in a smaller city... its really quite odd
