Snip, key parts in the middle somewhere.
[PJ Media] President Biden on Thursday made one of his most head-turning comments since being sworn in when he told an Indian American aerospace engineer that immigrants from the subcontinent are "taking over" the US.
"It’s amazing. Indian-descent Americans are taking over the country — you, my vice president, my speechwriter," Biden told Swati Mohan, NASA’s guidance and controls operations lead for the Mars Perseverance rover landing.
This isn’t Biden’s first cringeworthy remark about Indian-Americans. There was this classic from the ’08 campaign trail:
"In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."
Well, Obama obviously didn’t mind.
Is this stuff racist? I dunno. It doesn’t seem racist to me, no matter who’s saying it. I don’t think Joe Biden has hate in his heart when he says these stupid, stupid things. He thinks he’s relating to people by saying this crap about them. He’s not racist, he’s just old.
