Teen Trump supporter booted from campaign rally ‘for having dark skin’

[Kabira]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An 18-year-old Charlotte, N.C., college student who was ejected from Thursday's Donald Trump rally says he went from avid backer to disillusioned opponent after Trump's security accused him of being a known protester.

Jake Anantha, who registered as a Republican and cast his first primary vote for Trump, was wearing a Trump shirt when police removed him from the Charlotte Convention Center before the rally began. He and his father, Ramesh Anantha, say they believe he was profiled because of his dark skin.

"It's unbelievably ironic," said Ramesh Anantha, whose parents immigrated from India. He says his son, as a young person of color appearing at a rally where the Republican presidential nominee touted his support for people of color, "should have been looked at as a perfect Trump supporter. He should have been somebody they're putting up on stage."

He went there for publicity...he got what he wanted...just not the way he wanted it.

Honestly with that long hair he looks latino so that might be the main reason instead.

He's half white/half Indian and life time supporter of Republicans.

No surprise there. Trump's former campaign manager (who just resigned), was also linked to Russian lobbyists and Ukraine's former (wanted) President.

I remember he made fun of a Sikh at one point.

Another rubbish title, he is an american who has american citizenship. India does not allow dual citizenship. Most of the jingoistic posts are shamelessly manipulating titles to link anything & every thing to India.

It is quite clear that guy was born & raised in US.

@WebMaster @Oscar @waz please change the title it has nothing to do with India or Indian.

Interesting , Trump is really a "character" who really buys his hotel and other stuff I would be forcing him to sell the stuff off for pennies or lose it

Indian in the title refers to his ethnicity....American citizens of Indian descent are called Indians.....and If you still think this as an issue ask every single foreign citizen of Indian descent in this forum to change their flags.

Aww poor Indians - thought hating Muslims makes them white.

RIP logic. You must be from a lower caste.

Still probably higher than runaway converts.

 

[Beast]

Just like a non white and trying to support hitler and claim about white aryan supremacy.

 

[Skull and Bones]

So? Something wrong with it? Why do you hate other castes? No wonder India tops racism chart.

Still that doesn't stop the Bangladeshis for coming to India for trivial medical checkup.

Indian marketing at work. Most end up having botched surgeries and a lifetime of complications with accompanying regret.
Now don't go off-topic with kindergarten level mudslinging.
