Yeah, she was raised as part of some weird white guy Hawaiian Hindu cult which makes a lot of people assume she's Indian, but her dad was Samoan and her mom was White. She claims to still follow his teachings.
"The
Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) is a
Hindu Vaishnavite Yoga religious organization based in
Hawaii, United States, founded by Chris Butler (also known by his Vaishnavite name Siddhaswarupananda Goswami) in 1977."

Modi and his followers love bootlickers. They'll accept bootlickers from any race, nationality, or religion, so long as they feel it serves their purposes. In India there are even token Muslims supporting the BJP, basically Tim Scott equivalents yet somehow even worse (Republicans will never say out loud that their goal is to eliminate Black people from the country, but major BJP politicians have said exactly that).
