See, this is my point. The topic is fundamentally nuanced and heavily connected to tradition and religion. You can't just ram through this with reason alone. I don't want to personally attack anyone but I know a number of first generation Indian immigrants. They're great people but all of them seem to reject the conservative view of American politics (the one held overwhelmingly by the people who lived here before) as "backwards." It might be because of their experiences in India, I don't know. It's really frustrating though to have people come into your country and try to change things like that while calling you stupid for protesting it. Tradition often exists for a reason and it can take a lot of work and empathy to unwind that. If you're going to come into a new country and participate in their politics you should work hard to make sure you understand their tradition (and I recognize that's hard, I don't blame immigrants for not doing since I would probably do the same, but it's really frustrating to see it over and over again and that's why I call it out here occasionally.) EDIT: I can back up my personal experience with statistics [1] Although interestingly enough it says that later descendants tend to be even more left leaning.
