What would the election of an east indian, fiscally conservative, pro life, Christian, Republican, in a place like Louisianna have to do with Barrack Hussein Obama?

I can tell you that locally, our local newspaper caused a lot of anxiety in our local politics by supporting the first republican in 50 years.

This will be downplayed by the left, now Native Americans will be just as white as Dick Cheney when the Louisiana governor is being talked about. Prior to that they were just another minority victim of whitey.
Jindal is of East Indian heritage------his parents came from India.

Oh, thanks for the correction, I didn't read up a lot on it yet.

So for now, Native Americans will remain full time whitey victims, while east Indians will be as white as Dick Cheney when it the topic comes up of party diversity.

I am afraid you may be onto something-------OTOH: those American Indians who have a 'can-do' attitude tend to look upon the 'poor me' crowd with contempt.

Very true. My grandfather was still very close to many of his full blooded Native American cousins, and they certainly never looked for pity, and did not like it when other NA's did play the poor me card.
