(32,010 posts)For a very long time now. But yeah youre completely right though - its NOT new! Its nothing new. Any minority person that chooses to operate in the only party that the white-nationalist movement feels comfortable in, and has been for decades, should expect to be treated the way white nationalists treat minorities.

I would just tell the person making the comment that the Malayalis had been Christian longer than virtually any Europeans. The original St. Thomas actually died in Kerala 2,000 years ago.

(93,904 posts)Ohio probably isn't as religious though and that's one reason he might have a chance at winning.
