Ramaswamy was done for from the start, as is anyone trying to stand against the cult of Trump in this country. Race may have done him in sooner than some, but he never had a chance anyhow. What always boggles my mind is how someone not white would ever decide to be a GOP candidate. I guess it is the "hang-around-the-fort" syndrome. Ramaswamy appears to be a hang-around-the-fort-Indian (actual Indian, as opposed to native American mis-named by colonizers).
