"In Louisiana's race for Governor, Republican Bobby Jindal, 32, born and raised in Baton Rouge by parents who emigrated from India"

Aren't Indians (The Kind From India) considered to be Caucasian; which therefore means he would not be a "Minority" Governor???

He'd be a minority, that's for sure - a professed conservative governor in LA.

Nope, Asian, although they have their own subcontinent I guess, so you could even call them "Indian". (Get it? LOL geography humor . . .) They ain't white folk.

Actually, Chirinjeev Kathuria's ethnically Indian, too, I assume, although being a Sikh (religiously) kinda trumps the ethnic factor.

I'm indian, my parents came from india, we are not even considered a minority, and we are in no ways white. Recently we were hauled into court for a stupid personal injury case (We really need tort reform), my mother was cross examined, and among the complaints the so called injured made, was that, as indians, we do not understand the plight of minorites in america today and because of our racism (she equated whites and asians in general in the same category) we refuse to settle because we can't sympathize. Right now, our insurance company is seeking to settle.
