Identity has had an increasingly important role to play in U.S. politics, contributing to the ever-expanding divide between Republicans and Democrats. The differing presentation of identity between these two Indian American candidates illustrates the divide in racial politics between the parties. As Lilliana Mason articulates in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/press.uchicago.edu\/ucp\/books\/book\/chicago\/U\/bo27527354.html\"><em>Uncivil Agreement<\/em><\/a><em>,<\/em>&nbsp;race is one of the many social identities through which American political parties have become sorted &#8211; \u201cwith Democrats now firmly aligned with identities such as liberal, secular, urban, low-income,&nbsp;<em>Hispanic, and black<\/em>\u201d and \u201cRepublicans now solidly conservative, middle class or wealthy, rural, churchgoing, and&nbsp;<em>white<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One underrepresented,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/aapidata.com\/joe-biden-favorability-2020\/\">left-leaning<\/a>&nbsp;racial-ethnic group that has had increased visibility in the 2020 election thanks to Kamala Harris are Asian Americans.

Towards the end of her presidential campaign, Harris released a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xz7rNOAFkgE\">video<\/a>&nbsp;with Indian American celebrity Mindy Kaling in which they made masala dosas and bonded over their shared South Indian heritage. Harris performed various \u201cisms\u201d of Indian culture such as addressing Kaling\u2019s father as \u201cuncle,\u201d and celebrating the fact that he stored spices in Taster\u2019s Choice Jars (a unique commonality amongst Indians in the diaspora). Recently, Harris\u2019s use of the Tamil word \u201cchitti\u201d meaning \u201cmother\u2019s younger sister\u201d in her&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JijFLcbIqMs\">speech<\/a>&nbsp;at the 2020 Democratic National Convention sparked a wave of excitement, especially amongst Tamil Americans. It set off the creation of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/news\/one-word-kamala-harris-sparked-chitthi-brigade\">Chitti Brigade, \u201ca political sisterhood of 150-200 members stretching across 20 states\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;committed to the election of Biden-Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her 2020&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s11109-020-09612-7\">study<\/a>, Sara Sadhwani found that a co-ethnic candidate on the ballot stimulates Indian American voter turnout. If this is the case, then we should have expected more support from the Indian American community during the campaign of the only other Indian American to run for the White House, Bobby Jindal. However&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2020\/08\/15\/kamala-harris-is-likely-bring-indian-american-voters-this-research-finds\/\">Sadhwani notes<\/a>, \u201cFor Harris, if Indian Americans&nbsp;<em>perceive her as sharing their identity<\/em>&nbsp;as an Indian, she will probably see not only strong support but a boost in voter turnout from Indian Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jindal\u2019s campaign did not include any direct appeals to Indian Americans that would enable them to perceive him as \u201csharing their identity,\u201d nor did he promote his own Indian heritage. While Harris shared a sense of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/08\/11\/politics\/harris-indian-roots\/index.html\">pride in her Indian roots, speaking frequently about her Indian immigrant mother<\/a>&nbsp;and celebrating immigrants as an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/transcripts\/the-last-word\/2019-05-28-msna1236796\">integral part of America<\/a>, Jindal focused on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2015\/11\/18\/456518086\/unhyphenated-bobby-jindal-disappointed-indian-americans\">elimination of hyphenated identities<\/a>, t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bobby-jindal-immigration-without-assimilation-is-invasion\/\">he need for immigrants to assimilate<\/a>, and the belief that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=whDDTLz2c8Q&amp;feature=emb_logo\">race does not matter<\/a>&nbsp;in the election of a candidate. Jindal eclipsed his status as a racial minority in the Republican party by embodying a conservative, and very prominently, a Christian identity, that would appeal to his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/search.proquest.com\/docview\/1898059548?pq-origsite=gscholar&amp;fromopenview=true\">majority white base<\/a>. Members of the Indian American community on both the Left and the Right criticized this dissociation with his Indian immigrant background. Celebrities such as comedian&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2015\/11\/18\/456518086\/unhyphenated-bobby-jindal-disappointed-indian-americans\">Hari Kondabolu coined #JindalSoWhite<\/a>, while comedian Hasan Minaj placed Jindal on the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/tv\/2018\/11\/4\/18038954\/patriot-act-with-hasan-minhaj-netflix-review-recap\">Mount Rushmore of shitty Indians<\/a>\u201d in an episode of&nbsp;<em>Patriot Act<\/em>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sampatshivangi.com\/\">Sampat Shivangi<\/a>, a physician and founding member of the Republican Indian Council and the Republican Indian National Council&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2015\/11\/18\/456518086\/unhyphenated-bobby-jindal-disappointed-indian-americans\">said<\/a>, &#8220;We were supporting him all these years because he&#8217;s one of us. &#8230; It hurts when somebody says that I am no more Indian-American. A lot of people felt that he used Indian-Americans to rise up to where he is. Once he got in, he just abandoned all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the existing literature on affective polarization and social sorting, it makes sense why Harris and Jindal approached their presentation of ethnic identity so differently.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/2056305120926495\">Scholars<\/a>&nbsp;suggest that candidates attempt to take on the identity of their constituents to increase their chances of being perceived as a legitimate representation of their party. In considering the Democratic party\u2019s more celebratory approach to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/democrats-highlight-diversity-at-their-convention--and-the-challenges-that-come-with-it\/2020\/08\/19\/3b4e3712-e227-11ea-8dd2-d07812bf00f7_story.html\">diversity<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2019\/06\/26\/facts-about-democrats\/\">and<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2019\/01\/31\/majority-of-americans-continue-to-say-immigrants-strengthen-the-u-s\/\">immigration compared to Republicans<\/a>, Harris is enabled by the discursive framework around diversity that is part of the Democratic party rhetoric but is unavailable to Jindal as a member of the Republican party. Nevertheless, Harris and Jindal present a case through which to understand the role of racial and ethnic identity in American presidential politics. More broadly, this presidential race highlighted the massive polarization in the American electorate, and elucidated the ways in which non-white candidates of each party are likely to present themselves in future elections. This will be increasingly important to examine as America is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/11\/22\/us\/white-americans-minority-population.html\">projected to move towards a non-white majority in the coming decades<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madhavi Reddi Second year PhD student at the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media and a graduate research fellow at the Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life.
