a lot of indians are some of the biggest asskissers for racist white folk.

Which Indians? What other people have said, but this is such a uselessly vague description of a hugely diverse grouping of cultures, ethnic groups and skin tones.

It's also an incredibility caste based group and if you're a member of the higher castes, it's not at all surprising that you would identify with MAGA beliefs. If you're a member of a lower caste, not so much, but those groups have a hard time leaving the country.

I'm Indian and among my parents' generation, there is a lot of colourism. White skin is the ideal. They look down on darker skinned people even within our own ethnicity (I was never called pretty, unlike my lighter skinned sisters, because I got the dark genes). That's a whole other discussion though.

They fall for right wing propaganda easily, like anti-EU immigration, antivaxx, etc. My parents used to watch GB News and talktv unironically.

Here in the UK, sadly I can name two prominent ethnically Indian MAGA-type MPs: Suella Braverman and Priti Patel. Both nasty pieces of work.
