Neta Ramaswamy: Diaspora is kicking ass, from tech to politics

Here is an attempt to rewrite this edit in the style of Gangster Tony Montana of Scarface:

This guy Vivek Ramaswamy, he’s a son of a b**ch. He is an Indian-American, went to Harvard and Yale, made a lot of money in finance and biotech. Now he’s on the good side of The Donald. The Donald says he can be a good vice president. And some Republicans, they say they want him to be the president. Can you believe that? He’s the new face of the desi people, they’re going places.

They’re doing everything, man. They’re making the big companies, they’re running the show, they’re doing the tech and driving the trucks, they’re owning the hotels and taking care of the sick. They’re smart too, they’re teaching science and arts in the big schools. And now they’re getting into the media and politics. They don’t need to be in their own neighborhoods, they can work with anyone. They know how to deal with different people, they learned that in their country.

Before, people used to cry about brain drain, they said it was bad for India. But now they know better, they know that Indians doing well outside is good for India. And it’s not just one type of Indians, it’s all kinds of Indians. They have different backgrounds, different cultures, and different languages. They don’t care about that, they just want to work hard and make it big. Even if there are more opportunities in India, they still want to go out and see the world. They’re not afraid, man. They’re brave. They’re like me.
