My goodness. Again, you're just so far left in your views on Government and the power it should have.

Encouraging the hiring and promotion of women and minorities is also discouraging them from hiring and promoting me.

I’m against it in principle. Encouraging the hiring and promotion of women and minorities is also discouraging them from hiring and promoting me. Not okay.

Yippee! More Chinese- and Indian-Americans in institutions of higher learning!! Has anyone seen the Scripps Spelling Bee over the last 20 years?

Maybe it’s விவேக்’s secret plan to turn America into the Spelling Bee

Look everyone! It's "African American" Barak Obama. Oops! I mean "Indian American" Vivek Ramaswamy.
Let the hypocrites have a circle jerk on this one.

Not sure I understand where you’re seeing hypocrisy.

I'm not seeing it. I'm assuming it.
Hypocrisy being there were people who didn't care for Obama based solely on his brown skin and/or perceived arrogance/cockiness/confidence.
My guess is some/many of those people who didn't like Obama for those reasons alone - like Ramaswamy.

Is it possible that most of us didn’t hate Obama because he was a brown Muslim with a funny name, but because he was a socialist ass clown? If you accept that premise, Ramaswamy’s popularity isn’t hard to understand.

"Most of US"? Who is "us"?
Regardless of who "us" is and is not, there absolutely were people who didn't like Obama based solely on his skin color and/or mannerisms. I'm not saying a lot of people but there were some.
I'm saying Ramaswamy has a similar skin color and similar mannerisms.

"Hate" is a strong word. Did/do YOU really "hate" Obama before the 2008 election? If so, why? Other than you thought he was a socialist ass-clown - and based that on what?

I can and do accept those premisses you listed. Just as I believe there are some/many people who don't like Ramaswamy for the same exact reasons they didn't like Obama - but I still feel there are some people who are hypocritical based on the party they support. Completely forgetting/ignoring what Ramaswamy's and Obama's "talking points" are/were.

Religion has nothing to do with it, but notice Psych keeps repeating the racist Muslim lie. Anything Psych and co. accuse the other side of doing is their own SOP.
