Was Brown Paint Busy When They Created This Bobby Jindal Portrait?
Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana got his official portrait done and well, it’s missing two very important things: melanin, so therefore accuracy.
Jindal is of Indian descent, and he is perpetually saying the worst things. He really must get his Land of Abandoned People passport soon. But this official portrait is doing the Matrix backbend to avoid pointing out the obvious: HE IS A BROWN MAN.
Behold:
LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!! Who switched Piyush Jindal with Rand Paul, because the devil is indeed a bold-faced ass lie! The man in that painting on the left is not no damb Bobby! I refuse it. I rebuke it. I reject it.
The man in that painting is white. Why do they have him outchea looking like Ray Romano? Everybody might love Ray but people ain’t here for Bobby like this.
Bless his heart. This is like when you have a conversation with someone who thinks they’re “colorblind” and you ask them to describe someone to you and they refuse to mention their color.
“There’s someone I want you to meet across the room. You guys will really connect.”
“Oh great. What do they look like?”
“They have on a blue shirt and their hair is dark. Oh and brown shoes.”
BUT WHAT DO THEY LOOK…. COME ON!
This portrait is that. Someone took Bobby, and refused to act like he got any color. Maybe that person was Jindal himself and maybe he told the artist to make him look like a split screen of Adrian Brody and Snoop Dogg. But LAWD. This is a fail.
They tried it. They OVERtried it. They ULTRA tried it, even. He shoulda told them to hit his face with a couple of layers of color because what we have here is a lie, untruth, fable and fairy tale. This is not him. This is the Bitstrip version of him, after it’s been hit with 3 layers of light filter.
If I were him, I wouldn’t stand for this. So I’d sit. And make them create another drawing of me. One that is actually accurate. I’d ask for my PayPal refund too because this is like if I told someone to draw me and they came back with a picture of Miley Cyrus like TA-DA! YOU LIKE IT?
NO MA’AM! He let them Columbus his face. I wonder, though. Did he send this back or did he hang this in your office like it makes sense?
This melanin-deficient painting, doe. LMAO! Bless this mess. Portrait saying “Bobby, I don’t fit you.” Chile, I don’t have time. Maybe he got too much toothpaste on his mirror at home and it has him thinking that he got lighter. But he could stay indoors for 40 years and he won’t ever reach that level of pale.
The man on the left is Rob Blagojevich after going to a barber who told him that his hair looks like a helmet and a shorter cut would be more flattering.
Was brown paint busy? Brown paint was all “I’ma go to the store right quick and it ended up in Target and 15 hours later, it was still at the $1 section buying glitter pom pons and mini stuffed Tweety birds. Because you know there’s voodoo that keeps you at Target stores. I know that’s what happened because:
I got a light skinned friend look like Bobby Jindal. Got a dark skin friend look like Bobby Jindal.
I gotta introduce Bobby Jindal to some India Arie music so he can become proud of his melanin. I think I’ma make him a playlist, starting with her song Brown Skin.
Edit: Bobby Jindal’s staff said the portrait above was created by one of Bobby’s constituents. Apparently, this is the real one:

He STILL looks like Ray Romano, doe. It’s just slightly better. And wait, it was on loan to the Governor’s mansion so Bobby was still willing to put that portrait up and tell people “When you see this, you see me.” Oh ok. O_O

“I got a light skinned friend look like Bobby Jindal. Got a dark skin friend look like Bobby Jindal.”
Heelarious!!!!!
all my can’ts have been murdered and put on the endangered species list with this: “I got a light skinned friend look like Bobby Jindal. Got a dark skin friend look like Bobby Jindal.”

I almost choked on my pizza when I read that line. Luvvie, you are so wrong for that!!!
Not Ray Romano.
Alfred E. Neuman got himself an orthodontist and posed for this picture.

The real painting is still too light
He picked up this portrait from his local Pay N’ Spray like, “Michael Jackson could never!”.
Awl hell naw. He need to have several seats looking like he and Sammy Sosa used the same soap…I refuse to can, I am can deficient and all my cans are on the shelves in shoprite! Smdh
Piyush has been trying to white wash himself and the state of Louisiana for a while now. He prolly jizzed himself in glee when he saw that someone else saw him like he sees himself.
Ugghh
Precisely!
I feel so bad for this man, doe. Self-hate is the saddest thing to see.
Jessica, you speak that truth honey!
#BrownOrWhite
What is the Indian word for “Uncle Tom” ?, That’s what Jindal is. He wants to be white but alas, his dreams will NEVER come true. He needs to go somewhere and sit his self-hating yansh down.
Uncle Jindhal?
I know EXACTLY what happened here. Same thing happened to me in sixth grade when my friend suggested I wear “translucent” powder on picture day. Maaaan, those pics came back and I look like a straight clown! Didn’t help that I was wearing one of those bubble jumpsuits that we swore by back then. The artist used up alllll the translucent powder paint. I feel ya, Bobby.
As soon as I read the words ‘translucent powder’ i was in TEARS. That powder struggle is so real… almost as real as these women out here w/ beige concealor under their eyes in pictures when that flash hits.
*rushes in with bar towels and club soda to sop up the tea and clean the tablecloth*
*lies down and folds hands afterwards to recover from the beige concealer comment*
Vindicate us Vishnu! Help us to “Can” Krishna! If we can’t then help us to “Can’t” Kali! Save us Shiva.
well hes a christian so none of thats gonna help him.. try kneeling down in front of a padre instead 😀
For years now I’ve been praying to Ganesh, he who removes all obstacles, he who is the deva of intellect and wisdom, because of Piyush Jindal. As Luvvie said, “I refuse it. I rebuke it. I reject it.”
lol!
Wait, your Target sells stuffed Tweety Bird? Man all they got in here is hello kitty. I’m jealous.
That’s what they get for cutting back on art supplies in kindergarten.
Did Sammy Sosa paint that?
And somewhere Cyndi Lauper sings “I see your true colors shining throoooough”
He looked at Sammy Sosa and said, “Yeah. We are about the same skin tone. You got that shade in your palette?”
Artist:
The painter potrayed how Jindal truly sees himself; I think.
People relax, this is not a painting of Bobby Jindal, it’s a painting of his almost exclusively white Louisiana constituents.
This is what happens when you try to blend in – you disappear. Instead of being brown you end up clear.
Too bad the full portrait of white Jindal was not shown in this article.
His pose is uncanilly similar to man’s best friend taking a leak.
Woman, you are about to be guilty of murder! Imma die laughing.
I will give a nice eulogy. What color do you want us all to wear?
There’s a huge colorism issue that affects Indians both within the country and across the diaspora. You would think that having lived in the U.S., Bobby Jindal would know better, but sometimes this conditioning of the mind runs deeper than any of us can imagine. Sad state of affairs.
This whole portrait thing is so eye opening to me. Based on his policies I always thought he was white. Had I never seen his actual photo and only his portrait I would’ve remained in the dark. I wonder how many of his constituents saw the name Bobby on the ballot and assumed he was a good ol’ boy just like them when they voted for him.
And that’s exactly why he goes by Bobby – using their racism to his advantage.
I’m so upset that autocorrect changed my name to kludge in my comment above
Umm … excuse me … The official portrait is still WHITE!
He probably asked the painter to paint the portrait that way. #Denial #sSelfloather #BlackisBeautiful #BrownisBeautiful
He ain’t upset about the pic he’s probably real proud. His ass just moved up in the caste system. That’s a win *side eye*
The self-hate runs deep with this one. I almost feel sorry for him.
Here’s what y’all are missing. The painting is Bobby; the man is Piyush. Duh! LOL!
He looked at this portrait and said, “I’m beautiful, damn it!”
When denial and arrogance met and had a child
Well, been some time since I last commented, as I usually read but refrain to write because I am neither black nor American and then I usually prefer to read and think/laugh/smh…
However, this whole issue of self-hate and denial (introjected, mostly, let us all agree) hits close to home as I’ve been living in Brazil for a few years and it isn’t uncommon -for all I know- to hear things such as “Oh, isn’t the girl pretty? and she’s light (skinned) too!” [Note: usually among brown/black people of humble origins and poor education, ergo introjection and society-wide prejudice issues run more freely.]
But no, Herr Governor, this should and does certainly not apply to thee.
On a different though related issue, this:
“Here’s Bobby Jindal’s official portrait. AND IT IS WHITE, AS WELL.”
Blame it on Twitter for not allowing more characters?
White supremacy’s crippled hand just won’t loosen it’s retarded grip on the minds of all of the demented fools within this nation. Always rolling the dice that people will forget, anything and everything, including the dark complexion of Bobby Jindal. As sick as he is, I wouldn’t put it passed him that he may have commissioned this portrait with his own special request.
That’s not Bobby Jindal. That’s Bobby Kennedy.
Soo… Did he say to the artist, “Make me look more Republican”!
They seem to have forgot the NRA trucker hat though!
OMG…that picture is “White Bobby” is both hilarious and pathetic. A grown man, educated Rhodes Scholar, two term governor and yet, so ignorant about race and his own heritage that he chose to deny who he really is. He has a wife and brown children… I’m curious about how he feels about their browbeat. I hope he doesn’t scre them up too!
Now they know good and doggone well that neither one of these pics look like that man. Even with my ultra-basic PhotoShop finger-painting skills, I could have at LEAST made him the right color. Dang it, Bobby.
this is how he sees himself…..
I wouldn’t be surprised if he picked out the crayon himself
Piyush wants to broadcast to his voter base that he is just like one of them a white American Idiot who has changed his name and religion just for them and by bribing the artists who paint his portrait he can appear very white (washed).
SCREAMING. Please do stand up. As a matter of fact, skip straight to your two hour HBO Comedy Special.
MA’AM.
This whole thing is funny.

Got a light skin friend look like Bobby Jindal, got a dark skin friend look like Bobby Jindal…I was crying so hard when I read that, now I can’t get that song out of my head!
LoL … Maybe he’s advertising for “fair and lovely” … The go-to “gora rangg” cream of the subcontinent.
Deadest. You kill me lurvie…im not even American or know of this man’s policies…but i feel his self hate from all the way here
Ion i am maybe your second biggest fan in East Africa
[…] This is a portrait of Louisiana’s Republican governor, Piyush Jindal, painted by a constituent… (Piyush is Jindal’s real first name, but he was nicknamed “Bobby” as a child — after the youngest son in “The Brady Bunch.”) On loan from the constituent, it hung in the governor’s office. […]
the shittiest portrait painter alive….. with Mr.Magoo, the buyer.
how can you run for president if you don’t know who you are ,being Indian is a race you should be proud of not ashamed of ,learn to speak with a voice that is heard ,and people will re-speak you for who you are and not the color of your skin
[…] has on assimilation. He changed his name from Piyush to Bobby, his portraits are strikingly white (x), and his campaign title suggest that he is “tanned” rather an actual indian person […]
