Biswal appeared rather confused. ā€œI think your question is to the Indian government,ā€ she said, ā€œand we certainly share your sentiments and we certainly will advocate that on behalf of the U.S. government.ā€

They let him off easy.

Edit to add: I donā€™t think weā€™ve heard the last of this because Iā€™m sure his phone is ringing off the hook and his staff is frantically crafting a response.

In my opinion this is indicative of the mindset of Clawson and many in his party. He assumed he was speaking to people who werenā€™t Americans because in his mind ā€œrealā€ Americans look like Clawson. Props to Biswal for handling Clawsonā€™s stupidity with so much grace.

Itā€™s OK, because Saint Ronald Wilson Reagan set a precedent:

ā€œHow are you, Mr. Mayor? Iā€™m glad to meet you. How are things in your
city?ā€ -greeting Samuel Pierce, his secretary of Housing and Urban
Development, during a White House reception for mayors

He is an expert at turning the ball over to ā€œbrown peopleā€ as the point guard on the Boilermakerā€™s basketball team.

I think Clawson was named team captain so he could concentrate on ā€œbench coachingā€ and cheerleading. He got a little excited their natural rivals are Indiana which is close to India.

ā€œIā€™m familiar with your country. I love your country. And I understand the complications of so many languages and so many cultures and so many histories all rolled up in one, because we eat at a local Indian restaurant a couple times a month. The Hindu jibber-jabber you all speak is so funny!! You people do wonderful things with curry, and all those elephants and cows you have around are really great. And your nose piercings look good on you, although Lord knows Iā€™d never let my daughter do that, ha ha. And we love that little spot you put on your forehead, itā€™s just like a bullseye, itā€™s so cute. Can you do a belly dance for us after the hearing? I mean, all Indian women learn when theyā€™re kids, right? Is your nickname Tandoori? I love Apu on the Simpsons, I bet heā€™s a national hero in India, hahaha.ā€
