...and now, the internet being what it is these days, she has to spend the next week desperately clarifying that she only meant to condescendingly proclaim herself a true expert on a foreign religion relative to other white people.

Notice how it's not about "Hindu nationalism" etc.? Having a PhD in "Hinduism" is sufficient to say that all the criticisms of Tulsi are valid. This is the phobia she was referring to..

What was she even arguing? Something about Tulsi’s background? I don’t even get the point of the brag

Too many things in real life to continue about a non starter. When they lived in India, they were targeted by people Tulsi accepted gifts from. Patricia has discussed her at length & Corey did an entire podcast on Tulsi. She has had shady funding, gigs, votes and stances forever

Meaning you’ve heard enough from me, and you’ve both actually discussed Tulsi a lot. Sure you both should get into a huge argument online, why not. ;)

Credential shaming is the worst/least convincing defense of any position one could offer. “I got a good grade in my class in x, so I can speak with unquestionable authority on this topic.”

Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? Well, she happens to teach a class at Columbia called TV Media & Culture, so I think her insights into India and Hinduism have a GREAT DEAL of validity.

I guess even the enlightened can spew vitriol.
