Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources

You literally make no sense. For this to be racist, there would need to be something racist about the comparison. Like say if the movie itself was racist against Indian people. It is not. The joke is literally playing with the title of a movie. There is no further implication whatsoever. It doesn't make a judgement against him because he is Indian. It is pretty absurd to me that I need to explain this honestly. This is truly reaching to find something "racist" to feel superior about. Only problem is, it's not there whatsoever. There is nothing racist about noticing a person's ethnicity. Kinda mind boggling that people could be so blind to reality that they insist that's a thing.
You literally make no sense.
Then you’re not listening, and I don’t need to respond.

I don’t need to respond.
Because nothing you could say would make it make sense

*effect
To affect (verb) is to alter something
To effect (verb) is to cause to happen
The effect (noun) is the result
So one can affect the situation by effecting the effect.
Urgh I'm terrible with that. I just avoid those two words like the goddamn plague.

Do you find the effect of those words affects your mood ?

There's definitely an impact.

I always just remember 'an affect is not a thing' as in, effect is a thing (noun) and affect is a noun. Then I just avoid the second one, the effect verb form.

It's not a personal issue, he's the head of the FBI and the suit is against how he's
runningruining it.An excellent example of why you should vote Democratic for the next few years. Clear out these idiots.
FBI director wasn't on the ticket last I checked

Literally nothing about this joke is denigrating southeast Asians, it's just a pun-infused pop culture reference. You need to understand what racism is before you start lobbing it as an accusation...
South asian, not south east asian. It's not racist but I definitely rolled my eyes. It's a movie from 20 years ago and Americans are not known for being particularly 'worldly' so it comes across as sees brown person - oh here's a movie from a couple decades ago that I remember had similar looking people in it

I think the divide on this issue has a lot of parallels with the paradox of tolerance.
In the eyes of many, punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency is permissible when dealing with high-profile professional peddlers of punching down and crossing lines of social/human decency.
I'm not exactly arguing in favor of it or trying to convince you, but I think that's the angle when you're dealing with a crowd that has contempt for the person but not for actual racial reasons.
I agree with your analysis. I hate Popper’s paradox of tolerance though. Not because I disagree with it but because of how it’s used by angry leftists to justify their own hatred. I do think fascists should be executed, but only the ones that truly would kill others for their ideology. Too many people on the left are fine with killing those that merely provide cover for the truly violent by agreeing with their views but not having the conviction to carry them out. ACAB people bother me this way. Patel is a piece of trash. But he’s a worthless piece of it. Let him drink himself to death. Let him be an example to his people.

Why tf does he get to use government funds for a personal issue?
Corruption and abuse of power.
