Ted Cruz’s first name is Rafael (but it didn’t stop him from going after the more Hispanic-sounding nickname of Beto).
Bobby Jindal’s first name is Piyush.
It’s almost like the racism in the GOP causes GOP politicians to anglicize themselves in order to fit in, but they still get mocked for doing so and/or mock others if they have a less “American” sounding nickname.
This shows that they don’t fit in, not really when it comes down to it. But they still stay in their horrible party and take it. And the fact that Haley is a woman is another strike against her in that club….yet she still considers herself a member of the club.
During and not long after WWI, some states banned languages other than English. Louisiana even amended their state constitution to ban French in public schools…even though it was a first language for many of the children. It was under the guise of patriotism, but let’s be honest.
Just shitty people all around.
