Hindu American Foundation has taken to social media to share online posts backing anti-Hindu narrative under the guise of H1-B visa criticism. The recent debate has begun after Diwali celebration, which many in the US opposed calling it a result of immigration base that the country maintains. Sharing a few such posts, the Foundation said that so-called H-1B criticism is turning into “online Hinduphobia”.

“H1-B criticism morphed into online Hinduphobia and anti-Indian racism. Then city council members and political candidates began calling for mass deportations,” it said.

The Foundation added that masked men are now “loitering on sidewalks calling Hindu divinity “foreign demons”.” It said that the community must be prepared for whatever may be coming next. “What’s next? We must be prepared,” it said.

I’ll grant this as a possibility, if I were hiring people to run a 7-11; if I wanted to hire someone in a high tech business, in order to remain competitive, I’d pick the most qualified candidate who can best do the job, at a salary I can afford. No consideration here based on race, creed, or color; but, maybe this is just me.
