Half-Indian man escorted out of Trump rally

[Rocknrule]

Source: CNN

A man who identified himself as half-Indian was escorted out of a Donald Trump rally on Thursday out of concern that he was a protester, but the man insisted he was a Trump supporter and said he feels that he was racially profiled.

Jake Anantha, an 18-year-old from Charlotte, was approached by a member of Trump's security team and then ushered out by police. He was told that he resembled another man who had previously disrupted Trump rallies.

"I told him I've never been to another rally in my life," Anantha said. "I'm a huge Trump supporter. I would never protest against Trump."

Anantha is a registered Republican, according to state voter records, who registered to vote in March. Anantha, who said he's a student at Central Piedmont Community College, was wearing a pro-Trump shirt with another pro-Trump shirt underneath.

Sorry buddy, you must be THIS Aryan to ride the Trump train

[Rocknrule]

1. Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! BROWN SKIN ALERT! BROWN SKIN ALERT!

Everybody please remain calm while we detain and eject the foreign terrorist!

[SummerSnow]

2. He was racially profiled. They think everyone who doesn't look like them are terrorist

[Democat]

3. Who let this non-white person into a Trump rally?

They'll probably be fired.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. You hear that?..... That's the sound of a Drumpf hand sized violin playing for this idiot. nt

[hibbing]

5. Will he still support him? n/t

[Chakab]

9. Probably.

[Cal33]

36. You didn't read the article. He said that though he is now questioning his support for

Trump (he had spent 6 months supporting Trump, time that he now considers as having
wasted), he still couldn't vote for Hillary.

[Hortensis]

6. If he properly understood what he was trying to join

he'd have just beat himself up in the parking lot. No, Jake, it's not all about Mexican rapists.

[Moonwalk]

20. Haha! Exactly! He's not a very faithful Trump supporter or Republican...

...trying to actually attend the rally. His job is to stay way over "there" so that Trump can point to him and say "There's my ganga din! Love indian people--or wait...is he a Tonto indian? Doesn't matter. There he is!"

And at rallies, he must, yes, take himself to the park and beat himself up. A real trumpette knows all non-whites and women must remember their place.

[Hortensis]

24. Lol. Let's hope he now understands his supporting role.

[geek tragedy]

7. Still supporting him?

[left-of-center2012]

8. It can't be racial profiling

Didn't Trump just give a speech appealing to African-American and Hispanic voters,
inviting them to support him?
'course, he gave it to an all white crowd in a predominately white city in Wisconsin.

[jtuck004]

10. You gonna try to vote for him even after being a victim of this Summer of the Long Knives? Fool.n/t

[getagrip_already]

11. yet...

trump rejects bigotry.

Ahhaaaa.

[neeksgeek]

34. Of COURSE Trump rejects bigotry! He has people who will bigot for him. The best bigots. Believe me!

[muntrv]

12. But...but...but take a chance on me. What have you got to lose?

[getagrip_already]

44. Besidrs...

The voting rights act
The civil rights act
Any semblance of fair policing
The minimum wage
Fair banking regulations
Anti red lining laws
Anti segregation laws
Mixed race marriages
Access to health care
And a million things separating us from apartheid south africa.....

Not much I guess.

[PatSeg]

13. He's only 18 years old

and says, "I am a republican, I'm a republican for life." I have a feeling he may end up changing his mind about that.

[progressoid]

32. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if this opens his eyes a bit.

[liberal N proud]

14. Is he still a Trump-ett?

[oberliner]

30. He says he is now voting for Gary Johnson

Not happy about what went down.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. 'Aryan'? It's an Indian word

from Sanskrit ārya, in the later language ‘noble, of good family,’ but apparently in earlier use a national name ‘comprising the worshippers of the gods of the Brahmans’ (Oxford English Dictionary).

1st use in English was for the language family now known as 'Indo-European'; then "the idea current in the 19th cent. of an Aryan race corresponding to a definite Aryan language was taken up by nationalistic historical and romantic writers. It was given especial currency by de Gobineau, who linked it with the theory of the essential inferiority of certain races. The term ‘Aryan race’ was later revived and used for purposes of political propaganda in Nazi Germany ".

[Fast Walker 52]

38. Indeed-- good point!

[BadGimp]

16. RE: "you must be THIS Aryan to ride the Trump train"

SNAP

[underpants]

17. What's his other half? Moron?

Stolen from grossproffit here

[Mendocino]

29. Did his other half get to stay?

Maybe it was a split ticket?

[underpants]

33. They let him stand in the doorway

so long as only his moron half was on the inside.

[rivegauche]

18. And after this, if he's still a Trumpette

then he is a fucking moron and gets what he deserves.

[47of74]

19. Shoe. Other foot.

[tom_kelly]

21. He'll still vote for him

[oberliner]

31. He says he is now voting for Gary Johnson

For what that is worth.

[Cryptoad]

35. Any Non-Trump vote is a vote for Hillary!

[Helen Borg]

22. Don't feel sorry for him!

"Huge Trump supporter"... Did he learn a lesson?

[jpak]

23. Some pivot

yup

[JunkYardDogg]

25. So, the other half, the Trump supporting half is:

Drum roll please:

100 % pure ignorant asshole

[Person 2713]

26. Double down dupe

.... Anantha, who said he's a student at Central Piedmont Community College, was wearing a pro-Trump shirt with another pro-Trump shirt underneath.
Good luck at the next rally sir

[yesphan]

27. I wonder what

Dinesh D'souza thinks about this ? No, actually I don't give a shit what he thinks.

[louis-t]

28. Get it now, silly man?

You really thought you would be accepted with open arms? You haven't really been paying attention, have you?

[awoke_in_2003]

37. You know, it makes me wonder

about the guy tRump called "my African American"- he must have been a paid plant, because everyone who hasn't been liily white at a Trump rally has been harassed

[LeftyMom]

41. No, he's a real guy. Runs for office pretty regularly as a Republican.

He has a social media presence, interviews in local media and a website that predate his appearance at the Trump rally.

I'm sure part of the reason he was treated well was that a lot of people in the crowd knew him or at least knew of of him. He isn't a particularly big fish but it's a really small pond up there.

FWIW he says he isn't a Trump supporter. He was holding a Veterans for Trump sign but he says it was for shade. People were feinting and being treated by the EMTs in extreme heat, so this may be true.

[awoke_in_2003]

42. Thanks...

how have you been, Lefty?

[LeftyMom]

45. Doing okay.

We're still plugging away at getting my dad his transplant, at this point we've shifted from live donor transplant to waiting for a cadaver organ. Fortunately he's as close to asymptomatic as somebody with cancer and a failing liver can be, in fact he just left my house after coming over to help me wrench on cars for a while. Considering that the people at the transplant center always seem surprised that he can make his own meals or clean up after himself I guess that means he's really in exceptional shape.

[awoke_in_2003]

46. Wow, hang in there

Your dad sounds like a tough man.

[maryellen99]

39. On Raw Story there was a quote that he's now supporting Gary Johnson nt

[The Wizard]

40. Keep the brown down.

[drm604]

43. Keep it up. Donald.

Keep throwing away those votes! You've got plenty to spare, after all.

[IronLionZion]

47. What about people with a summer tan?

Yeah buddy. Half white isn't going to make the cut. What has already made the cut many times are light skinned arabs and muslims who look white.

48. The Hill: Hindu-American emerges as Trump mega-donor

I think a fair amount of Indian Americans were supporting Trump, but it does not seem like Trump really cares much about them.

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/288377-hindu-american-emerges-as-trump-mega-donor

CLEVELAND — A Hindu-American industrialist has emerged as one of Donald Trump’s biggest financial backers, saying his support for Trump proves the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is not a racist.

“A lot of people think that Trump is somewhat of a racist," said Shalabh "Shalli" Kumar, a Chicago-based businessman and Republican donor.

* * *
India-born Kumar, founder and head of the Republican Hindu Coalition, is one of only a handful of donors in the country to contribute what Trump fundraisers colloquially call the “double max” — the holy grail of campaign fundraising in the 2016 cycle.

Kumar is sending $898,800 to Trump Victory, the joint fundraising arrangement between the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and 11 state parties. The Republican Hindu Coalition, as a non-profit entity, is not coordinating with the Trump campaign but is generally supportive of Trump.

49. Unbelievable!

[LeftRant]

50. I'll assume that his Indian Outreach coordinator arranged for this.
