Bobby Jindal is the joke on Twitter. These black-and-white tweets will make your day

Louisiana's Indian-American Governor (though he will object to the description) Piyush "Bobby" Jindal on Wednesday launched a historic bid for the US presidency, recalling his parents' journey to the land of "real opportunities" yet seeking to distance himself from his heritage. Jindal's pronouncement came as no surprise to the over three million strong Indian-American community, which gave enthusiastic support to his Congressional and gubernatorial campaigns, but now feels alienated with such talk. That alienation didn't take long to convert itself into a Twitter hash tag, with #bobbyjindalissowhite climbing up the Indian trends table. Read more here.
