Bobby Jindal - Uneasy about his ethnic background?

Bobby Jindal and irrational exhuberance

Excerpts from the interview on CBS 60 minutes -

Asked if their family maintains any of the Indian traditions, Supriya Jindal told Safer, "Not too many."

He's a classic example of the American melting pot. This oyster and crawfish-eating Louisianian tends to downplay his ethnic background. "When we sent a reporter and photographer to India to write about his family and their origins, the Jindal family was very queasy about that undertaking," Amoss said.

To all the pea brained, applauding folks back home - Read this article, shut up and sit down. Stop being more eager to call him Indian that he is himself.
