Summary
Vivek Ramaswamy criticized American culture for prioritizing “normalcy” over excellence, which leads tech companies hiring foreign-born workers over Americans.
In a post on X, he argued that U.S. culture celebrates mediocrity and undervalues nerdiness, hard work, and academic achievement.
His comments sparked backlash across the political spectrum, with critics labeling him out of touch with American culture.
The controversy may jeopardize his standing in the Trump administration.
He’s not complaining about us being ba workers. He complaining the average Joe doesn’t treat their manager like a king like in Indian culture.
I worked for an Indian company once, I only made it 12 months before the harassment became too much.
Yep, that’s for sure the culture he wants. Obedience, but excellence.
