Vivek Ramaswamy and the Scourge of the South Asian Model Minority ( slate.com )

Don’t tell my grandmothers (they’re dead), but I love a little brown-on-brown violence. Naturally, it was with a sick frisson that I watched the third Republican presidential debate on Wednesday and learned two things: first, that there have somehow already been three of these debates, and second, that I have been waiting my whole life to hear Nikki Haley call Vivek Ramaswamy “scum.”
