In London speech, Jindal criticizes "no go zones" in European countries

[Türkisblau]

A governor of Louisiana being a demagogue?

Who woulda guessed?

Are you seriously comparing Huey Long to Bobby Jindal?

[Blair]

complete bollocks, Jindal has no idea what he's going on about. Citing the Daily Mail as a source is hilarious

[bobloblaw]

He's literally criticizing something that doesn't exist and is made up by the right wing.

mmm..no. CNN covered "no go zones" numerous times. Malmo, Sweden is know for its "no go zones" BTW 90% of rapes in Sweden are committed by Muslims.

Fox was clumsy when they said the entire city of Birmingham was a "no go zone"

But even in Canada there was a push by Muslims in Ontario to have a separate Shair Civil Court System set up for them.

His irrelevance is pretty sad, really.

I hope you're joking

I find it amusing how commentators were touting Jindal as a future President back in 2008-10.

This is the guy who called upon the GOP to stop being the stupid party? LOL!

On a related note, I don't think this will help Jindal, either:

Maybe if they had a Governor that spent time in the state...

What a embarrassment to the Indian American community. Pandering to the white nativist Christian faction of the party? Dude, you're brown, a son of immigrants, and raised in a different faith. You're not fooling anyone.


What a stupid POS. Junk Governor!

^^

I kind of wish we had a more sane Indian-American governor or congressman.

We will probably get one soon enough. The demographics of Indian-Americans resemble "Jewish-American" in many respects, and that means participation in politics at high levels.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

What demographic similarities do Jewish Americans share with Indian Americans?  Income and education?  That in itself doesn't suggest a similar level of participation in politics. Lots of Jewish doctors and Indian doctors, but comparatively how many Indian lawyers are there?

This must be the stupidest post I've seen today. Only race-baiting, no real arguments at all. Clearly, racist attacks on politicians ("dude you're brown" -> implies that his views should be different because of his skin color/ethnic background?) are OK if they're not white and not on the left?

Jindal didn't say anything really strange. As a European I know that, sadly, there are actually no go areas in Europe. France has them, Sweden has them, and the UK definitely has them.

Meanwhile, a white man tries to tell an Indian-American that by judging a member of his own community, he has prejudices against his own race.

Right, because white liberals didn't call Cosby racist for the Pound-Cake speech.

I don't see anything about that anywhere. I'm fairly sure I didn't even know what the Pound Cake speech was until today, let alone would have been able to form an opinion on it at ten years old.

Well like you've mentioned, both Indian and Jewish Americans have the highest college graduation rates and the highest incomes. Also Indian-Americans (along with Japanese-Americans too) had the highest voter turnout of any Asian group. 88% of Indian-Americans who were eligible to vote did vote in 2012, while the Asian turnout rate in general was only 47.3%. Jews also had a voter turnout rate of about 80%. The two groups (along with Japanese-Americans too) have the highest participation in politics when it comes to voter turnout. There are a lot of Indian and Jewish doctors, but you're right when you say that there aren't many Indian lawyers (that's starting to change though). There are also a lot of Indians in engineering and in finance (escpecially investment banking) though. This is also the case when it comes to the Jews.
