    It’s both, in combination. He’s being racist, and he has kids with an Indian woman. Leaving out that part would be a glaring omission to the story.

    It’s very much like the stories of the Republicans who want to make abortion illegal, which is bad enough, but it’s monumentally worse when it turns out they’ve had or paid for abortions.

      Yeah I think it’s because it kinda implies he doesn’t see his kids as being welcome to both of their ethnic heritages. And from what I’ve heard from half white friends it’s an awkward thing they often experience. Like I had a friend growing up who everyone was willing to acknowledge that he’s Filipino, but nobody was willing to acknowledge that he was equally hillbilly.
