“It Seems Like The Future Belongs To The Poop-throwers”—Dinesh D’Souza’s Mask Off Moment And Indian-American Republicans

YouTuber Tyler Oliveira went to India to document, for his YouTube channel a “poop-throwing festival”. (I will try to keep using the world “poop” or occasionally “dung” for this substance.)

While it’s somewhat embarrassing to Indians and Indo-Americans, a poop-throwing festival is very on-brand for India, which has a reputation for high levels of public defecation, even in places where locals have access to toilets. (It was worse in the 20^th century—they’ve been getting better—and much worse before the British colonized India—there’s a Kipling poem about it.)

India is the place where they have sacred cows, and where they revere what they call “five sacred gifts from the cow — milk, curd, ghee, urine, and dung.” Curd is what you get when cheese doesn’t quite set, ghee is clarified butter, and of course dung is poop.

The poop, or dung being thrown at the festival is cow dung, and the festival, per the Times Of India, “called the Gorehabba cow-dung festival, celebrated in Gumatapura village in Karnataka after Diwali.”

Here’s a brief video uploaded by Oliveira to Twitter—warning: aside from the poop factor, the way this is shot may involve motion sickness.

The same festival, by the way, was reported by Al Jazeera here, with the note:

Dozens of villagers in Gummatapura, southern India, hurl cow dung at each other for the Gorehabba festival — a local ritual marking the end of Diwali. Devotees believe their deity Beereshwara Swamy was born in cow excrement, which many Hindus consider sacred and purifying.

Of course, attending such a festival is not without its health risks:

While Oliveira has a hazmat suit on, all the locals seem to be shirtless. Is that because they have natural immunity to the germs involved from previous exposure? Maybe, and maybe not: see this note from Martin Gardner’s 1952 book Fads and Fallacies In The Name of Science:

Oliveira received so much hate that he posted this on Twitter, saying he was cancelling his documentary because of death threats:

In response, Indian American conservative Dinesh D’Souza posted this

Now, in its own way, this is more disgusting than either the poop throwing festival or the death threats. D’Souza is boasting that “Asian” immigrants, which includes Indian immigrants like himself, earn more than whites in America. Some people think that this fact—which is true—is a good reason to have more Indian immigration.

It’s true that Indian immigrants, selected for their education (none of the poop-throwers in Gumatapura village are coming to America) are likely to be net taxpayers, unlike Central Americans, who consume more in public funds (schooling, health care, public services) than could ever be paid for by the taxes of their low-level jobs.

All that means, however, is that they displace a better class of American.

For example, D’Souza himself, an immigrant from Bombay in the 1980s, has displaced some Heritage American from whatever his current position in the Conservative Movement/Republican Party is, and this latest effusion of Indian ethnocentricity is a bit of a mask-off moment coming from the conservative, assimilated, Christian (he was raised Goanese Catholic, not Hindu in in India) author of The End of Racism: Principles for a Multiracial Society, 1995.

Of course, Peter Brimelow’s review of The End Of Racism was called “He Flinched.”

“I am married to a Protestant woman named Dixie, who was born in Louisiana and raised in California and whose ancestry is English, Scotch Irish, German, and American Indian,” reports Dinesh D’Souza, America’s most famous Indian immigrant since—who? Maharishi Mahesh Yogi? Listing his multicultural credentials in what he must have known would be a vain effort to reason with the storm of abuse that has since broken over his important new book, Mr. D’Souza adds: “Our new-born daughter, Danielle, is, well, beyond racial classification.”

In fact, of course, Danielle D’Souza is not at all beyond racial classification—though any parent will recognize her father’s belief that she soars above classification of any kind. She is a Eurasian, of essentially the same provenance as the Anglo-Indian community that became a distinct mediating caste in British India and produced, among other notable scions, the regal Hollywood star Merle Oberon. Danielle’s father here is truckling to the many American intellectuals who cannot or will not think rationally about race and its role in society; and to their frequently expressed hope that a couple of generations’ intermarriage will make the whole question go away.”

By the way, Danielle, below, is married to Congressman Brandon Gill now, and was called “Republican’s Indian-Origin Wife” by the Indian press when she criticized Zohran Mamdani.

But what this shows is that Dinesh D’Souza, Dartmouth Graduate, in the US for more than 40 years, an American citizen for 34 years, married to two different white American women, with an American daughter, and a notorious “right-wing” Republican, is still loyal to his own “people,” i.e., other Indians.

And that is why it’s a mistake for President Trump to be endorsing Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor of Ohio.
