Is It Racism?

Yesterday, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal announced he is running for president.  Both yesterday and today, Yahoo News has had some extremely negative coverage of Jindal that seemed like a very strange way to cover the governor.  Yesterday's article purported to outline "what went wrong" with Jindal's career as governor.  Today, the article discusses how Jindal used a "creepy" video of his kids as part of his campaign.  Neither story made much sense.  Jindal's career as governor has been successful enough that he was overwhelmingly re-elected to be governor in the last election.  The video with his kids was one that recorded their reactions to his decision to run for president.  These were non-stories that were spun by Yahoo News into some sort of indictment of Jindal.

I know that Yahoo News is an extremely leftist source of news.  Nevertheless, the attacks on Jindal have been much, much worse than those on the others in the Republican field.  Can it be that Yahoo News is attacking Jindal based upon racism at Yahoo?  Why else would the one person of Indian descent running for president gets all this strange negative coverage?  Could it be that the Democrats hate the idea of a minority running for president as a Republican?
