As results from the Texas Senate primary elections began to come in, one of the big moments for the Indian-American community was Pooja Sethi's win in Texas House District 47. Sethi recently created a stir as she strongly resisted racist comments about her ethnicity and instead flaunted it as an honor, as she said her heritage is not an insult, it's her story.
Commenting on a hateful post that mocked her poll campaign poster because of the surname, she wrote: "My heritage isn't an insult. It's my story. And like millions of Americans, it's rooted in hard work, faith in this country, and service to our community. If that bothers you, that says more about you than it does about me."
