""You are raising three kids in an intercultural, racial, religious household. How are you teaching them that your kind...is different, or is better than your mom's kind, who got here just a generation before?" She added, "Why are we making Christianity one of the major things that you have in common to be one of you guys, to show that I love America just as much as you do?""
""Most Sundays, Usha will come with me to church. As I've told her and I've said publicly, and I'll say now in front of 10,000 of my closest friends, do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved by in church? Yeah, I honestly do wish that, because I believe in the Christian gospel and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way.""
A South Asian student at a Turning Point USA event asked JD Vance how he teaches his children to view cultural and religious differences within their intercultural household. The student questioned why Christianity is emphasized as a marker of belonging and asked whether Vance teaches his children that one group is better than another. Vance acknowledged his wife did not grow up Christian and said he hopes she will be moved by the Christian gospel, noting that Usha often attends church with him. Observers criticized Vance's comments for insensitivity and for containing racist undertones toward Hinduism and immigrant families.
