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.

The internet and its social media sites are not static by nature and design. One group, community, sect, race, ethnicity, gender, or class of any group will always be rising or falling in focus, rage, acceptance, or dismissal. That is hardly news. It’s public being stupid in an ebb or flow based on media narratives. That’s why the folks at CNN, MSNBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, Newsmax, and NBC, get up and go to work each day. You know, to gaslight, dog whistle, misdirect, and feed you “the script”. To keep the village idiots on topic and predictable.

Santa Clara University is my MBA alma mater. The B-School was quite independent and you never felt any Jesuit influence or presence. Of course, that was a LONG time ago! (yikes, more than 45 years — where’d the time go?)

The lowest-IQ foreigners always add their “KKK” nonsense to their “xenophobe” and “racist” screeching at fed-up Americans.

Ditto “lowest-IQ” for Americans who screech the same thing. They are the lowest-capability people in our country.

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

That can describe a lot of ethnic groups in this country.

Me and the Mrs. did some traveling recently. GA, TN, KY, IN, IL, AL, FL. The one thing I noticed is at every hotel we stopped at (looked at rooms, got prices, actually stayed), everyone one of them were owned by Indians, and not the Cherokee kind. Every single one of them. Some even had a Hindu shrine in the lobby, or just off of it. Thought I found one that was American run. Ha. The night clerk was American. In the morning, the guy who checked you out was Indian. Other than the really pricey ones, are there any owned by American’s anymore? Sure doesn’t seem like it. DQ’s also the same.

What is it with you and your obsession with h1-b Indians?

Every one of your post is about that. And you pollute FR with that a dozen times a day. Are you one of them?

Realistic evaluation shows that you are both blind and an idiot. Obviously from the same caste.
