Sick burn: Comedian Hari Kondabolu wins 'all the Twitter awards' for racist jab at Bobby Jindal

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced the suspension of his presidential campaign tonight, which inspired writer Anil Dash to conclude that Jindal was on a losing track from the start, having abandoned his Indian American identity and values in favor of being “divisive and combative,” which we’ll assume is synonymous with Republican.

Unfortunately, Jindal in particular has been targeted for ethnic purity, from the Washington Post tracking down a professor to declare that “There’s not much Indian left in Bobby Jindal” to both The Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates and CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill falling for a satirical piece claiming Jindal said the Confederate flag was a symbol of his heritage.

Piling on tonight as Jindal bows out of the race is alleged comedian Hari Kondabolu, who served up the raciest of racist humor.

We get it, but what we don’t get is why Jindal deserves this kind of abuse. He was born and raised in America to immigrant parents; what’s the proper setting for his “ethnicity dial”? Is the hatred due to his politics, his assimilation into American culture, or is it the product of a university system where young scholars demand a campus resource center for “students of marginalized identities”?

Time for some new material?

Best to stick with the incredibly diverse field of liberal candidates this time around.

Editor’s note: Mr. Kondabolu’s name was misspelled in the headline and body of this post. We have corrected the misspelling and apologize for the error.
