This is the not so subtle racism of low expectations.
Using the word, “but” is quite telling. :)
“Our chef is male, but he makes a great sandwich.”
“Not that it matters.”
It is the Democratic party that has the race problem. Always has.
He managed to simultaneously pander and disparage.
Well played, sir!
Live by the race card, die by the race card.
And I hear they’re clean and articulate. I’m not joking!

“”Our state director is Indian American, BUT he does an amazing job”.

This is blatantly racist, implying that most Indian Americans usually aren’t capable of doing an amazing job. With the use of the word “but” he has implied that he does a good job in spite of his being an Indian American.
Then again, it is OK for Democrats to be racists. We see this every day.
i don’t want this Democrat to win. But this is bottom feeding.
LOL - that really is insulting...
The Democrats live and die with racial identity politics. This is hilarious to see “Billy” Joe Donnelly take heat over this!
Replace the word “but” with the word “and”; changes the perceived meaning from “it’s surprising they can do it” to “we always knew they could”.
Indian-American? Which type? “WAH WAH” Indian? Or owns a 7-11 type Indian? OR Indian motorcycle perhaps?!?
These people opened up a can of worms. Couldn’t happen to a more tolerant bunch.
Once again, if a Republican candidate had said this it would be a major national news story with microphones being shoved in the faces of every Republican candidate demanding to know if they agreed with the remarks, why haven’t you denounced them yet, etc. A Democrat? Crickets.
Donnelly left out a sentence about his Afro-American staffer, which was. “And she makes great fried chicken for the staff”.
Wellllll, he could have meant to say that but realized what a ahole he just was and shut up.
I mean, if Old Lunch Bucket Joe can call a black man “clean and articulate”, ask a disabled men to “Stand up, Chuck”, and lie about half his life, why can’t Donnelly just talk honestly about how he feels about his staff?
Remember, they are Democrats and never let an honest truth (aka gaff) mean anything to them.
