Anti-Indian racism on X on the rise: Report
American Bazaar ^ | 9/18/2025 | Arun Kumar

Immigration-focused narratives, especially those related to H-1B visas and portraying Indians as “job stealers” dominated online discourse on X, amplifying xenophobia and fueling calls for deportation and denaturalization, according to a new report.

The report, Anti-Indian Racism on X: Causes, Trends, and Narratives, released by The Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH) today documents a surge in anti-Indian racism on the American microblogging platform between July and September 2025.

The 680 high-engagement posts analyzed for this report amassed more than 281 million views, underscoring the scale of online racism targeting Indian communities, according to CSOH.

Notably, August saw nearly a fivefold spike in anti-Indian hate compared to July, coinciding with the onset of U.S.-India tariff tensions.

The analysis reveals that immigration- and expulsion-themed rhetoric accounted for nearly 70% of the dataset, with resentment about Indians holding H-1B visas and STEM jobs serving as key drivers.

Incident-driven narratives also played a major role, with the Aug. 12, 2025 truck crash in Florida that involved a Sikh driver generating a wave of online abuse against the Sikh and Indian communities. Peaks in anti-Indian racist content coincided with broader political tensions, including the U.S.–India tariff dispute.

“Anti-Indian racism online is part of a larger ecosystem of far-right hate, xenophobia, and disinformation that thrives on social media platforms,” said Rohit Chopra, co-author of the report and professor at Santa Clara University.

Are there any countries reporting anti white racism?

Indians are bringing some of this on themselves by their behavior. They’re not here to assimilate. That’s the primary issue.

And just like that, there were no Ukraine posts any more.

And the only "contributions" are chasing normal freepers off the boards...

"portraying Indians as "job stealers""


This has been obvious since the early 90s.

Their explicit racism towards others for personal advantage is also the main issue.

The job stealers and their pimps are mad that their racket is being exposed and politicians are finally feeling the heat from displaced American tech workers.

That too.

The ones that are coming here are from the upper castes. They believe they're superior.

Anecdotal stories of their seeming lack of common sense is also frustrating.

Not to mention their inability to drive.

“Causes” — they come here, undercut our American native workers, demand less pay, and the U.S. companies demand their existing American employees train their replacements before getting the boot.

And then the Indian activists call the fed-up Americans xenophobes, racists and KKK instead of admit the damage they’ve done to our country. Standard leftist playbook. Especially the KKK part.

Indians are the one who cry foul the most from the changes in immigration policy (100K, H1B, etc), so it shouldn’t be surprising that most pro-contra discussions would be either by Indians or about them.

In case anyone is wondering, Santa Clara University is a Jesuit school.

Do with that what you will.

That’s what galls me. The foreign bastards have studied the American bastards playbook and are using it. Foreigners call us “xenophobes” and “racist” does not endear those people to us. It makes us go “don’t let the door slam you on the way out.”
