Obama means different things to Indians than he does to whites than he does to every ethnic group. It is wonderful to see an open-letter from one of ours that is both poignant and entertaining.

But I am still frantic with excitement!! It feels like so many things that were bad today aren't bad anymore. THAT is history and THAT is not tragic--it's whatever the opposite of tragic is. I keep wondering how much I am identifying with Obama because he is a person of color. Can't answer it yet but I know I feel like somebody of "mine" is going to run the country. This is what people must talk about, when they talk about inclusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461772347487902769.post-31239601144078085672008-11-05T16:41:00.000-08:002008-11-05T16:41:00.000-08:00YES!
