Biden at it Again: Asks Man if He’s Indian, Man Says “No, American” (+videos)

Vice President Joe Biden seems to have a problem with Indian immigrants. From using a fake Indian accent – mimicking a foreign call center – to saying you couldn’t go to “a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent,” he’s constantly putting his foot in his mouth.

It happened again yesterday. The Deccan Herald reported that, during a campaign stop at a restaurant in Florida,

Biden, out of the blue, asked a man at the restaurant, “Are you Indian?”.

The conversation happened when a woman at the restaurant was telling what her brother– a Republican, told her last night after she posed for a picture with the Vice President.

The woman told the Vice President, “You know what he said to me? He said you’ve got to watch ‘2016’ and we watched it last night. He said if you watch that, he said you’re going to vote Republican.”

The woman was referring to the anti-Obama movie “2016 Obama’s America” which has been made by Dinesh D’Souza, an Indian-American, and has become very popular among the Republicans.

At that point a man angling for Biden’s attention shouted, “You’ve got to get a picture with some guys!” Biden did turn to a group of guys then. To one of the men, he asked: “Are you Indian?”

“American!” the man responded, according to a White House pool report.

Although you’ve probably already seen these, here’s a quick video reminder on Biden’s past Indian-gaffes. The first video is of Biden’s statement that you can’t go to “a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent”:

The second is of Biden employing an Indian accent in mimicking a foreign call center:
