"Indian-American" journalist - Walter Cronkite isn't a "German-American" or "British-American" journalist according to his Wikipedia entry - why should Chandrasekaran's state his ethnic origin as an identifier of his allegiance? As far as I know, he is an American citizen, born in the United States, and does not hold Indian citizenship. As such, he's an American journalist, not an Indian-American journalist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.49.139.248 (talk) 20:32, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel so strongly about it, change it. And the Walter Cronkite comparison is poor; most white Americans don't identify, and more importantly aren't identified by others, with their country of origin. On the other hand, most Asian Americans still are identified by their country of origin by others and still have connection to their original countries.
By the way, "Indian-American" denotes national origin, not ethnic origin; Indian is not an ethnicity. AyanP (talk) 00:00, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Ayan[reply]
"most white Americans don't identify, and more importantly aren't identified by others, with their country" Absurd and racist statement. I'm German-American and I proudly identify my ethnicity. And BTW what source is claiming such things. So in the United States Indian is not an ethnicity, are you sure about that?--0pen$0urce (talk) 12:55, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A journalist who has written a couple books and does an occasional article. Not every author who is published is notable, not every journalist is notable. This subject falls within that realm. --0pen$0urce (talk) 15:34, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
