The Indian presence in the United States has grown steadily over the past several decades, driven largely by migration for higher education and professional opportunities. This growing diaspora has once again come into focus after a video shot in Texas went viral, leaving social media users debating the visible rise of Indian-owned businesses in parts of the US.

The clip, filmed on the streets of Dallas, shows a content creator expressing surprise at the sheer number of Indian restaurants, grocery stores and convenience outlets clustered in one area. The vlogger, who goes by the handle Pigeon Vizon, had just crossed into Texas from Mexico and appeared stunned by what he saw next.

Pointing his camera at the row of establishments, he remarked, “We just came to Texas from Mexico and look at the number of India-based shops here. There is an Indian restaurant, then there’s an Indian convenience store and another Indian cash exchange centre.” Turning to his companion, he asked for his reaction. The friend quipped back, “We came from Mexico and landed directly in India,” prompting laughter.

The light-hearted exchange quickly struck a chord online. As the video gained traction, users weighed in with their own observations about demographic shifts and ethnic neighbourhoods in the US. One commenter drew a historical parallel, saying that similar reactions were common in the early 1900s when Italian, Irish and Polish communities first became prominent in American cities.

The Indians have completely taken over access to technology jobs in the USA. This was designed by big tech so they could have bigger yachts. The government is lying about the real numbers.

Here in San Antonio the influx of workers from India was due to USAA massive hiring for their I T skills. Labor was cheap and plentiful. The surrounding area has been fairly saturated with restaurants and little shops. The residents(from my experience) are wonderful law abiding members of the community ( unlike the moochers in Ohio and Minnesota), only problem is their difficulty in speaking Enlish( but at times so do I)

Just as in the Caribbean islands-— Indian merchant class, also seen in South Africa. Places where the majority “class” cannot run anything, as in Mexican diaspora or even South Africa. Remember Ghandi lived and practiced law in South Africa (and no friend to the blacks in S. Africa btw).

Indians excel at business in merchant functions, in direct competition with their historical enemy, China. Much as Vietnam detests the Chi-Coms and China as heritage national enemies. China is our enemy. Complex politics inside India as a result— see: Trump’s tariff arrangements with Modi. Indian Communists-— terrible no matter what religion they come from/through. Hindus though beginning to attack Christians violently so not so good trend.

“The Indians have completely taken over access to technology jobs in the USA.”

Not true. They come and go.

[escapefromboston]

Indians should be classified as biological weapons and every politician that allowed them into the country should be tried for crimes against humanity

If you know of a technical recruiter who is a white American. Please post his email address here.

[AppyPappy]

Recruiter? Do they actually exist in the tech world anymore? We have LinkedIn for that.
The Indian candidates will all have a resume that matches the job description perfectly but they rarely survive the first round of question and there is no way to verify anything.

The Canadian Liberal party is trying to empty India

If you don’t speak Hindi or Mandarin, you have a hard time in our town on the San Francisco Peninsula.

I exaggerate, of course. At least I think I do.

And the Medical Profession has seen a YUGE increase in Doctors, Nurses and Techs over the past 7-10 years. YUGE.

[Antoninus]

The Indians have completely taken over access to technology jobs in the USA.

This is true. And unlike Americans who feel guilty if they don't hire "diverse" workforces, the Indians have zero qualms about hiring nothing but other Indians.

Not to mention all the ones that have been elected to public office and all those that are CEOs of huge corporations.
