Banish the mainstream racists back to the fringes

Last week, conservative commentator Ann Coulter displayed her racism when she explained to Vivek Ramaswamy the reason that she would not have voted for him in the 2024 GOP primary. During his podcast, she said, “I agreed with many, many things you said during — in fact, probably more than most other candidates when you were running for president, but I still would not have voted for you because you’re an Indian.”

As a mother to three sons of Indian descent, I think my response to her would have been less classy than his. After the podcast, he posted on social media, “I disagree with her but respect she had the guts to speak her mind.”
