Twitter blue-check and Indian-American Saira Rao has earned the nickname “Ratio Queen” here at Twitchy, but that hasn’t stopped her from telling her truth. She claims to be a former congressional candidate, but her outreach to white voters seems to have been to inform them that their best black or Latino or Indian friend knows they’re racist but doesn’t tell them, although they do discuss it among themselves.
Progressives must love her, you’re thinking. Maybe not after this week’s tweet, though, in which she reminds ALL white people — even the most avid members of the Resistance — must accept and internalize the fact that they’re the same race as Donald Trump.
Dear ALL White People: Donald Trump is one of you. Until and unless you can accept and internalize this, you can't do anything to dismantle the same white supremacy that consumes you all. Stop pointing fingers and start deeply staring into a mirror.

You know you’re in for a treat when a tweet starts, “Dear white people,” but it’s even better when it kicks off with, “Dear ALL white people.” And that’s quite a ratio: 1,190 retweets and 15,703 replies and counting.
I tried staring deeply into a mirror, but I was mesmerized by my gorgeous blue eyes. I realized that's probably why my Black wife fell for me, too.

In an ideal world, people spouting psychotic drivel like Saira would be in an institution, drawing on paper with crayons, not tweeting ridiculous nonsense to the world.

I have stared deeply into the mirror and find no racism in me, as the LORD is my witness. As a born again believer in Christ I have friends of many countries and races around the world. If you are not born of His Spirit I pray you will believe and call upon Him today.#POTUS45

Dear racist, Saira Rao
I looked deeply into my mirror and saw that I am white, I am not apologizing for being born white, Trump is my President and I will be voting for him again…— dinunzio64 (@dinunziotd) August 6, 2019
AMEN to that

Despises white people but chooses to live amongst them, presumably because she has more rights in America than most other places.?

She likes the money and the kindness from Whites. Enjoying the nice things, nice restaurants, fancy restaurants, Whole Foods, organic food, all the wealth of comfort America provides for everyone.

I am a Trump supporter.
Only difference.
I am a brown skinned East Indian man.
I am not being consumed by anything except pride in my president and pride in becoming a new American citizen!!

Until you look at the puppet masters pulling your strings & providing daily talking points, *you'll* never see that we all have the same red blood running thru our veins.Your rhetoric belies your point & is based on anger and hatred, not facts. Trump's policies work for us all.

So I am defined by the color of my skin and NOT the content of my character? Thanks. Tell me about the caste system again.

News flash! I am my own person and am responsible for my own actions. That's it. Give it a rest, lady.

The left loves losing elections, I guess.
Otherwise they would not be as obnoxious as this to the very same people whose votes they need to win.

She’s a world class troll. Every single tweet is designed to generate outrage.

Since I know the left would never listen to me anyway, I have no problem recalling the old saying here, "Never interfere with an enemy while he's in the process of destroying himself."

Unlike you, I was born in India. I consider myself an American. I regret that you do not. #TWGRP

I stared into the mirror but all I saw was a handsome, fit, affluent old charmer with a lifetime of wonderful family, useful and productive work and a fun, athletic and intellectually rewarding retirement. Have a nice day.

You are truly one of the most hateful people on this planet. Well done.
— Lori Latimer (@lorilatimer) August 6, 2019
Dear all people: if you are not interested in the content of someone’s character, and only the color of their skin, you’re a racist.
If you support blatant racism by this person, while you may have fooled yourself into thinking you’re doing the right thing, you cannot be.

What show are you from again? I don't really know TV
— Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) August 6, 2019
She’s from that reality show where they get together a bunch of former congressional candidates to live in a house together and see who can tweet the most hateful messages; she’s neck-and-neck with Pam Keith, who claims that all Trump supporters are racist and you can’t both support Trump and follow Jesus.
The fact that you can’t see your own racism is astounding.
— Tina Stull (@tinastullracing) August 7, 2019
LOL. Many of us "White People" have no problem that @realDonaldTrump is one of us. And the best thing about that is people like him having the ability to completely expose the hypocritical, lying, garbage that are people like you. Thank you for making it so easy. And fun to watch

Dear ALL Race baiters, we are done taking the bait. Have a nice day racist.

Another (most likely normal) person who has been misled and tricked by the media and the socialists that certain races are inherently evil and of lessor value to society. Can't you see the racist intent and message they want you to spread?
