Thing is, back when JD married Usha, Indians had very little reputation and a low profile amongst Americans other than being quirky Apu from the Simpsons, ie. 7-Eleven clerks or on the high end, doctors with funny names. Being a hillbilly white trash from the Ozarks, at the time, JD probably thought he was being "worldly" and was "marrying up" into Usha's family, After all, they represented the white collar "high status" and international aspect of Indian reputation that was still acceptable at the time in the US.
However, due to the fact Mukesh Ambani decided to essentially make internet access almost free and readily available for the entire population of India, American internet users have been subjected to the real "bobs and vagene" and conceited nature of Indians. Many have also experienced this in real life with the huge increase in H1B immigration to the US and near population replacing immigration to Canada. In additon, the complete abject poverty, below third world filth of what Indian cities look like have been made up close and clear to see with the advent of smart phone video capture and readily accessible online video tourism to see what India really is like now. Not to mention the embarrassing and anger inducing behavior of high profile political Indians like Kash Patel being a complete clown and Vivek telling white Americans that they are stupid compared to Indians when all an American has to do is look at their own surroundings and then look at videos of what India is like.
In the eyes of Americans and the west, this has really dropped the reputation of Indian people to rock bottom. At this point, being married to an Indian is a HUGE albatross around JD's neck if he ever has more political ambitions.
