In this instance he is not wrong though. I would not shed even a single tear for Omar. She should be expelled from Congress; not for "criticizing Charlie" but other stuff she said like her allegiance to Somalia and calling Somalia is better the the US. Which US she is living in?!!!
Vayutuvan ji,
I was never a fan of these creepy crawlies, especially not this venomous jihadi
certainly, she needs to be taught an exemplary lesson, and one that includes deportation, as an example and warning to other jihadis

For decades, Indians were the good immigrants who kept their heads down and followed the unwritten rules of assimilation(1). Somewhere over the last year though that vision has soured. 20 minutes on any social media platform will confirm the bitterness with which Indians are viewed. Right-wing accounts take immense pride in scapegoating a population that were the darlings of Silicon Valley until last year.
Favorability toward India has declined across 15 of 24 countries surveyed with particularly sharp drops in traditional allies like Canada and Australia (2)
...
Earlier this year, a Canadian woman posted about a loud and disruptive Indian wedding that had been going on all night. (3) The caption accompanying her post said, "Everyone will despise the Indians given enough time."
The worst thing you could once have said about Indians was that they followed the rules of a foreign country, but not their own. That seems like an antiquated memory. Now drunk on the Kool-Aid of India's imminent Vishwaguru status, we are convinced that our obnoxious behavior will be accepted wherever we go. (4)
... Now we are watching a new generation of Indians squander away that respect. As we go viral for our brashness every other week, entire communities pay the price for individual arrogance. (5)
(1) Majority of us never followed nor or we following now. Look at the Indian only neighborhoods in Dallas, NJ, etc. Locally we have a group of people who want to set up a community for older people and make HOA rules such that non-hindus are excluded. Majority of the old timers married Indians only. Even those meat eating Indians in the US. Those who married non-Indian origin, very few have married an AA or hispanic.
(2) Canada and Australia are traditional allies? That the print reporter seems to be so totally ill-informed about the world or living in Lutyens la la land. Maybe a progeny of some babooze.
(3) That is true. That is happening in India and they are bringing "Sangeet" BS to the US also. India got punjabified/Gulteed. Gults (I am one so I can say that word) are bringing their ostentatiousness to the US. They are also doing "destination wedding" BS.
(4) Yes. True. But this reporter seems to be placing this at the feet of Modi ji. What can we expect from the Print anyway?!!!
(5) This is the only sensible thing in that video transcript.
I wonder if someone can look back in the 10-15 years when China was the darling of the west and till it was not .. pretty sure this replicates the western behaviour towards a rising power.

100%. Chinese were arrogant at that time, especially the kids ABCs. Not adult Chinese from PRC/ROC in my PhD batch. Singaporeans though were arrogant as well. Others were all well behaved; South Americans, Europeans, SoKo, Japanese, Canadians, Mexicans, Latin americas folk, Africans and AAs. But then it is an academic setting.
