Some of the antipathy from trads towards Rajeev is that he outcompetes them on the merits of masculinity. The guys coming for him are not GI Joe. They’re pudgy guys who play Settlers of Catan. The GI Joe guys may have some ideas about Rajeev but conspicuously don’t feel the need to countersignal him.
Gotta dispute Walt's supposition that Christianity will increase white identification among Indian half-castes. Christianity has been mostly nonwhite for a while, and it'll be mostly black by the end of the century. Haiti, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Polynesia, and so on are all Christian, which hasn't made them white. A lot of immigrants in the US go to churches specifically to be around coethnics. Mormonism and secularism are much more white-coded
