First Indian governor EVER

Republican Bobby Jindal (you know his Indian ass is NOT named BOBBY...rather, his real first name is Piyush. Thats obvious) is the son of immigrants from India and now the country's youngest and first non-white Louisiana governor since Reconstruction in the 1870s.
The victory marks a rare trip to statewide office for a minority in the South -- in a state that 16 years ago famously saw a former leader of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, in a runoff for governor.
Some black political leaders complained Saturday of problems at polls in New Orleans, where many people have moved around since Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
Man, of course... why wouldn't they complain? They ain't even happy with the black man running for president because he's too white... aka well-spoken and educated. Why we associate that with whiteness?
Either way, there's now an Indian governor, a Muslim congressman, a black senator running for office, and a woman senator also running... minorities on the rise!!
