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?

You would be surprised at how many top Dem staffers are Indian like Kaivan Shroff, etc. They aren't running in national office yet but they keep the machine going. Also Indian Americans agree with the goals of BLM more than any other ethnic groups. Sadly they may very well not be anti-Modi, and also blocked an anti-caste discrimination bill in California lol.
