I'm a South Asian American, born and raised in Southern California. My family is from South Asia, just like yours. I am saddened and outraged by the shootings in Charleston. 

I understand that you have defended the display of the Confederate flag on the grounds of the statehouse in Columbia. Please take down the flag which is a symbol of racist ideology and actions targeting Black communities. I've read that you have used your South Asian ethnicity to show how racism doesn't exist and as an excuse to have the racist confederate flag up. This is wrong. As an Indian American/South Asian, I stand against racism and inequity. I hope you will too.
