Actually, in many areas of the country, a very large percentage of convenience stores and second-tier motels are owned by Indians/Goans/Pakistanis.

Way back in 1984 I took a language learning course and did my practice lessons in Gujarati, a language of western India. I’ve been able to practice my Gujarati many, many times at motels and convenience stores. If I see a clerk or receptionist that looks south Asian, I’ll greet them in Gujarati. The majority of the time, after a look of surprise, they respond in Gujarati, with a big smile and lots of questions as to how I speak Gujarati. (I speak very little past basic greetings, hometown, etc.)

Biden’s statement was NOT racist, just a fairly accurate observation.

(Biden is still a senile, lecherous idiot)

what you say is true but is not politically correct. Much the same as not college educated white voters was spewed endlessly but no mention of non high school educated blacks.

Biden's statement doesn't make sense. If it is true that many 7-11s and Dunkin Donuts are run by Indians (I haven't been inside any 7-11s or Dunkin Donuts in Delaware), I don't think they are going to turn away potential customers for not having an Indian accent, which is what Biden appears to be claiming.

I guess that could be used against the accusation that he is getting senile, if he could make statements as stupid as this one so many years ago.
