In reply to the discussion: Vance says Fuentes, Psaki can 'eat s--' for attacking second lady [View all]Igel
(37,260 posts)18. I learned a new word today. Begins with "j" and ends with "t".
As a long high front vowel between the voiced palatal affricate and voiceless alveolar stop.
Apparently some (apparently mistakenly) regard it as an ethnic slur against South Asians. It's clearly not an attack. I guess.
I stand corrected and will promptly start calling South Asian Americans and South Asian immigrant by that glorious term of appreciation and admiration.
(No, no I won't. Just because it needs to be ignored and regarded as innocuous in order to say somebody is wrong doesn't make it any less offensive and insulting. Even if one does feel a need, apparently, to defend not just Psaki but also Fuentes.

OP
No one was "attacking" Usha Vance. They were attacking JD and worried about Usha his wife.

Gosh, such a rabid response to someone attacking non-whites. Almost seems like non-whites eating cats and dogs.

Meanwhile he defended the racist NY Republican chat, which included anti-Indian slurs.

Let's hope the next MAGA meetup culminates into a Jerry Springer-like brawl.

I think it's better than a 50-50 chance that Vance dumps his wife and marries Erika Kirk within 2 years.

Is this right-wing infighting the result of them always having some deplorables?
