You wont believe the racism I witnessed as a Dem insider

During President Biden’s re-election campaign, I helped to spearhead Asian-American fundraising.In gratitude for my tireless efforts, the party exploited me as a racial caricature.At a February 2024 fundraiser for Joe Biden, Shekar Narasimhan, the chair of the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Victory Fund, posed a “question” to then-President Biden.

In reality, the question was actually a sycophantic compliment so servile that I felt secondhand embarrassment.It went along the lines of this: Mr.

They were never genuine inquiries but opportunities to kiss the ring and curry favor with Biden and his staffers who conferred political favors and White House invitations upon palace courtiers.Flattery and favor-trading are the currency of identity-based organizations, which thrive on access like parasites on a host.Groups such as Black Lives Matter, the NAACP, Latino Victory Fund, Planned Parenthood, Human Rights Campaign and Shekar’s AAPI Victory Fund prioritize enriching their leaders over advancing their stated goals.

In exchange for donations, politicians deliver access and photo ops.This sustains the identity-group executives’ lavish lifestyles.
