It seems to be becoming a theme in the western world. Indians shouldn't be so shocked, they are not indiginous people so the locals will always turn at some point.

The uptick in discrimination and bigotry can be tracked across social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and X, often attached to the H-1B work-based visa.
H-1B visas allow for U.S. companies to employ foreign nationals who are often skilled in specific industries, such as tech. The majority of applicants for the H-1B come from India, with 71 percent of H-1B visa holders coming from India alone in 2024, according to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
During the 2024 election season, with two prominent women of South Asian background under the national spotlight, now-second lady Usha Vance and the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, faced public speculation regarding their identities.
Vance, who is the daughter of Indian immigrants, has faced online xenophobia while her husband has faced scrutiny for marrying her, the criticism rooted in white supremacist values.
The anti-Indian racism seen against politicians has impacted Indian and South Asian communities across the country.
According to the AAPI Equity Alliance's Stop AAPI Hate Report, more than 75 percent of anti-Asian slurs targeted South Asians between December 2024 and January 2025. Moonshot, a group that targets online terrorism, found more than 44,000 slurs targeting South Asians in extremist online spaces during May and June of this year.
