Bobby Jindal's OFFICIAL portrait photo-shopped to make him look White (I'm not kidding) DiUp warning
Edited on Mon Jan-11-10 07:05 PM by DainBramaged
His OFFICIAL Portrait



Other shots taken off the web




YOU be the judge


http://www.americablog.com/2010/01/tale-of-two-jindals.html


TWENTY PAGES of Google photos, NONE look like the official portrait.


http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&um=1&q=bobby+jindal&sa=N&start=0&ndsp=18


And this one from November 2008




Here is the page his portrait is on

And here are other images from his website





NO photos from 2009 on the State website, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

He's just republican, and there is a cure for that.

10. He is white
He is a member of the Indo-European race. He therefore is Caucasian. Therefore, according to our government, he's white.

20. Nazis would have considered Caucasian. Apartheid South Africa would not have.
However, the Nazi formula for declaring Indians to be Caucasian relies upon a shared heritage with an imaginary Lost Civilization of Atlantis.

In any case, racial classifications aside, the photo was clearly doctored to make him appear more Republican-- by that I mean, melanin-challenged.

Although what the fuck John The Boehner is doing is beyond me.

36. I think the Nazi formula was probably about strategic considerations, though
At the time the outbreak of the war, India was trying to gain its independence from the British. It would make sense for the Nazis to try and gain supporters in India in order to weaken the British.

38. Exactly. Hence the "Indians, Germans and Japanese All Come From Atlantis" Nazi doctrine.

37. When Gandhi was a young lawyer, he got special status for Indians
living in South Africa. Before Gandhi, they were considered Black. After, they were considered their own category, with rights midway between Black and White.

Boy, the things you remember... It's been at least 40 years since I read Gandhi's biography.

39. And in South Africa, it was still forbidden for Blacks, Whites and Indians to inter-marry.
But you are correct, it was a three-tiered racial caste system.

I was actually looking for Alfred E in this thread as soon as I saw that.

He looks like the older non-Mad photos of the "What? Me Worry?" kid.

please, 20 yrs ago Indian businessmen bleached their skin and anglicized their names to get along, this shit isn't necessary anymore. Serve the public interest of the American people and demonstrate that you understand it, and you can be as black as you want, or as you were born.

32. But the republicans aren't racist. we all know that.
What difference does his color make anyway. The people voted for him and they knew he was dark dark complexed, so why does he want to do this and upset the apple cart.

40. For what it's worth, I've seen that in Indian grocery stores
To add an irreverent quote from "Chasing Amy"'s resident black gay militant Hooper X paraphrasing an audience ringer:

"Deep inside, we all wants to be white!"

I'm sure that days of discussion could be launched about various nonwhite groups wanting or feeling the pressure to conform to the white American mainstream or simply wanting to feel like they're part of the 'coveted' privileged class.

:crazy:

48. That's not makeup or bad photography,
it's demonic possession!
Clearly what he needs is to be held down against his will so we can cast the demons out of him.

(Before anyone gets offended, I'm talking about: http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2008/06/11/jindals_exorcism/ If it's good enough for the girl he and his friends kidnapped, it's good enough for him.)
