My official response to the video that @realDonaldTrump shared about #KamalaHarris and my sister #mindykaling discussing our shared South Indian heritage.

@CoreyWriting Obama got into Harvard law school with a 3.7 GPA.

@spencerpratt It was very racist for @jimmykimmel to mock black people in this skit.

@AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept Thank you for enforcing SFFA SCOTUS decision!

[Vijay Ingam @VijayIngam]

@drterrysimpson .@drterrysimpson sorry to correct your ignorance but the DOJ is not saying that med schools like Yale cannot use “soft factors” such as letters of recommendation, essays and Interview performance as valid criteria in a admissions. They are simply saying they cannot use race.

@anish_koka I was proud to be part of the SFFS vs Harvard SCOTUS decision that outlawed DEI racism.

[Anish Koka, MD @anish_koka]

“Fifteen years ago, Vijay Chokal-Ingam shaved off his straight black hair, trimmed what he calls his “long Indian eyelashes” and started checking off the “black” box for race on his med-school applications.
Before long, the Asian Indian-American was interviewing at Harvard and Columbia, and found himself on wait lists at the University of Pennsylvania, Washington University and Mt. Sinai — despite his relatively mediocre 3.1 GPA and his family’s considerable wealth.”

.@aritjohncnn your @CNNPolitics article fails to mention the possibility that @RepDavidValadao might lose re-election because of residual resentment among MAGA Republicans about his vote to impeach @realDonaldTrump

[Vijay Ingam @VijayIngam]

.@aritjohncnn you wrote an entire article about @RepDavidValadao & BBB without mentioning he voted to impeach @realDonaldTrump - thats bad journalism. No question Valadao is an independent Republican.

@Savsays @nellsstar Don’t diss Hanuman! He is. Diwali hero!

@venkmurthy Let’s be clear, sometimes people only apply to top medical schools and get rejected from everywhere.

[Vijay Ingam @VijayIngam]

@venkmurthy This is simply not true there are a lot of people who get rejected after writing bad applications.

[Vijay Ingam @VijayIngam]

.@andrea_c_hsu your article on corporate DEI did not mention the negative impact it has on Asians, who are over-represented in corporate America. It is representative of the type of biased journalism that led Trump to defund @NPR

[Vijay Ingam @VijayIngam]

@YounisJoseph The culprit is a terrible application with bad letters of recommendation, a poorly written essay and résumé not to mention a terrible interview performance.

Living in Terhangeles (Persian area of LA), I think that it’s important to recognize that attendance at no King’s rallies nationwide dropped because of popular support for the Iran war.

[Vijay Ingam @VijayIngam]

“No Kings” rally attendance is way down in Los Angeles.

.@ella_nilsen there is nothing wrong with being a climate activist. However it is irresponsible not to acknowledge that the Trump administration‘s actions in this article will result in lower energy prices for consumers https://t.co/qZ7U8negQM

@j_fishback It is not that simple. Many US MD grads were only applying for competitive specialties. Many IMG's take any speciality.

@zagrebbi @cremieuxrecueil I was proud to join Edward Blum and SFFA in improving admissions chances for Asians both South and East!

@joekent16jan19 @frenchfortrump SAD: I actually donated to @joekent16jan19 Congressional campaign back in the day, before I realized he was coward, afraid of the Ayatollah! Make Iran Great Again!

[Vijay Ingam @VijayIngam]

If I was S. Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia or New Zealand, the Philippines, etc. I would send every available ship to the Straits of Hormuz to defend America. Without American military support , all of these countries will become Chinese colonies.
