Скачать или смотреть Are Indians DIRTY or TALENTED? MAGA's Civil War, Anti-India Racism Over H1B Visas Explained

In recent months, a wave of anti-Indian racism has surged across the internet, fueled by public figures, activists, and political commentators. While some attribute this trend to the H-1B visa controversy, the issue may go much deeper.

On the one hand, critics argue that the H-1B system undermines American wages and job opportunities, while others, like Vivek Ramaswamy, push for reforming the process to make sure the US still has access to top global talent.

On the other hand, far-right voices, with Laura Loomer being the most explicit, blame skilled foreign labour, particularly from India, for ‘diluting American identity.’ Racist tweets, memes, and videos targeting Indians have flooded social media platforms, with the backing of individuals like Loomer.

The battle intensifies with figures, like Elon Musk and the many Indian-Americans in Donald Trump’s upcoming administration, including AI Advisor Sriram Krishnan, at the forefront of the debate.

As tensions rise, questions emerge: Is the H-1B system broken? How do we address the growing anti-Indian sentiment in an increasingly globalised world? Join the conversation as we explore these issues, examining the intersection of immigration, global competition, and racism.
