Vivek Ramaswamy: 'We're creating new waves of racism' by obsessing over 'white guilt'

Republican presidential candidate #VivekRamaswamy tells Dasha Burns and Brianne Pfannenstiel that obsessing over "white guilt" is creating a "new wave of racism."⁠

The sit-down was part of “Closing Arguments: Iowa,” a series of in-depth interviews from @nbcnews and Des Moines Register with three Republican presidential candidates — #Ramaswamy, Ron #DeSantis and #NikkiHaley — in the final days before the #Iowa Caucus. ⁠

A white women arguing about white supremacy to an Indian man ….. what time to be alive

[naima]

He articulated his point so well I wish I had that skill 😂😭

[utmostredundancy]

My man Vivek is Laser sharp and crystal clear as always

[MandySam]

Vivek is a smart man. Tell it like it is. I’m of south Asian descent myself. Great to see Vivek speak with such honesty & eloquence on this subject. The people who continue to push the narrative of systemic racism do so because they don’t want equality or unity. They want people to forever be polarised. That’s their cynical grift.

I love it when someone tries to argue with Vivek. He is brilliant!

The interviewer forgot her role and tried to be a debater. She was clearly outmatched.

I’m an Asian immigrant who grew up in California. Majority of the racism that I’ve experienced was enacted by blacks and Mexicans, rarely whites
