One of the men who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry last year was a Palestinian-American, Omar Yaghi.

Racist POS.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

JD Vance's in-laws' names are Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri. I wonder if he tells them this stuff, too. To their faces. Or does he just save it for white MAGA rallies?

Truly a racist pathetic embarrassment of a son-in-law to his brown Indian immigrant in-laws.

They called Jason Arday a fraud, a plagiarist
They said his work was "high school level." They published it in The Times, The Telegraph, GB News. They made him the face of "DEI mediocrity." They hunted him for weeks.
Taylor & Francis investigated twice and found no plagiarism.
