Just thinking:
The ONLY one they mock and insult is: Vance.
Zuckerberg: Asian wife
Trump: Slavic wife
Bezos: Latina gf
McConnell: Asian wife
Vance: Asian-Indian wife
Jeb bush: Latina wife
Musk: Canadian ex wife
@sardonicsmile Vance is someone in the spotlight, as I do recall many of the same people mocking Vance would be the same type that I recall mocking Jeb Bush and McConnell regarding their wives.
As for others, Zuckerberg and Bezos were not (supposedly) conservative political figures, so they would not be mocked in this way. No point in purity testing those who are not trying to be on "your team."
@houseoftolstoy
I was making an observation.
I am on my own team.
No point in putting words in my mouth.
@sardonicsmile "Your team" was not you, but the people mocking Vance. My point was that the people that mock Vance do not consider Zuckerberg or Bezos as being someone who presents as right-leaning.
Vance would be mocked because he would be considered a race traitor in their eyes. And he has the spotlight. I remember Jeb getting a ton of mockery for his wife being a "goblina," so Vance is not entirely unique.
@houseoftolstoy I see. If I came off as antagonistic, then I made a mistake.
There is a tribal identity when it comes to certain ethnicity. I do recall Jeb Bush's wife getting mocked. However, it is not the same ethnic hatred that is leveled at Vance, for his wife.
I recall that Vivek was never known as a Republican contender but rather, "the Indian guy". We never refer to Trump as "the German guy". Disdain for Indians is visceral and accepted as norm. Only with the Indians, it seems.
