If he were a white kid, Conservatives would place him on a pedestal, and honor him for this. It wouldn't matter what claims he made, he would be believed, given every consideration a human being can have, and likely given millions of venture capital to pursue his ideas no matter how asinine they may be.
But as an Indian kid, he is met with disdain, disrespect, cynicism, skepticism, and resentment.
I wish him luck and hope he's the one who finds the cure for deadly diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and HIV.
Get over it. He's just some dork kid who is being used by his dad and his dad's friends as a political pawn. Worrying about what he says is almost as bad as the media reporting what he says. I feel bad for him, he's going to end up in a bad way if he doesn't distance himself from those around him and just try to live an obscure but ordinary life.
If his family wasn't suing for $15,000,000 because his “reputation in the global community is permanently scarred.” I'm sure people would get over it, but he/his family keep pushing their way into the spotlight.

He's not Indian. And I don't recall any white kids that stupid.

If he were a white kid lying about inventing a clock (look at the factory grade soldering), suing the city and school for a combined $15,000,000.00, while refusing to allow the school to release the records...I would still say this kid is a tool.
The only difference is you wouldn't know about this kid and he wouldn't have gotten a White House invite, as he wouldn't have been able to play the victim card as well had he been white.

What a liar.
Sad that he let his parents use him as a way to get attention/money.
comments like that probably earn him an additional 10K every time someone says it. Wish I was joking. Lots of social media comments will be brought up at the lawsuit I imagine.
i can just see his ambulance-chasing attorneys in their lubbock offices furiously scouring internet forums for unkind things said about poor clocky

if he were a white kid, no one would have ever heard of him.

You must be joking.
If he were a white kid who brought a bomb (ah, I mean a CLOCK) to school, he would have been instantly branded as some sort of psychotic, poorly parented Columbine nut case who WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING MUCH WORSE if the school didn't heroically avert disaster at the very last minute. He'd probably have been whisked off to juvenile detention where he would be awaiting trial today.
IF the news even picked up on it...
Being Texas, the kid's parents would have obviously been smeared across the media as gun-crazed Christian extremist wackos, as CNN carefully led disgruntled neighbors (who, the media wouldn't mention, had been rebuffed by the family previously) into answering questions pointing to the family having "financial problems", being "very active in the church", and finally, the ever-damning "keeping to themselves". The kid would be framed as a basement dwelling loner with a bunch of quote-mined statements from ex-teachers, while the media would be sure to find a picture of the dad out deer hunting, carefully cropping it to eliminate the sporting context and paint dad as a local gun twirler. The media would dig up an unemployed, meth-burning felon and black sheep relative, who hadn't been in contact with the family since the kid's dad was five, to recall to the best of his drug-fried brain's ability, about some sort of problems in their family while the dad was growing up.
Finally, a black child psychologist would be interviewed with a picture of the white family in the background the whole time, and would explain how the media's slanted version of the child's upbringing was certainly to blame for this "cry for help", just to put the finishing touches on the piece. After that, a sigh of relief and a job well done. No trip to the white house, no fifteen million dollar lawsuit.

Look at all the people here misinterpreting what the kid is saying. Seriously? At first I thought "WTH is wrong with this kid saying he made cpu's - doing that on even a very very low level takes a massive amount of work, and a fairly complex understanding", and decided, hey lets watch the video.
Folks, he did not say he MADE CPU's. He said he made more complex things that used CPU's, and involved soldering. Thats totally believable actually. I used to build stuff like that when I was younger.
If you're going to hate on the kid, this isn't the reason. You people are ridiculous. Even worse, this sort of nonsense is the kind of thing that will HELP him get more money in his lawsuit. Knock it off folks, you're helping him.
"Uh it's really...it's really simple to me, because...I built more stuffthat's very complicated,like...CPUs, and....soldering them."
There, I transcribed it for you so you can see how everyone else heard it. Play back the video and read this at the same time.
