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.

That is it, the only info the source for this article is willing to provide on who they are.
Why are so many articles from this type of site now showing up on FR?
And why are so many people willing to believe everything they read before knowing anything about the people who wrote it?
I care.
For the reason why, see my reply #41.
how is it that projection is so obvious ?
Can’t be true - X censors are working overtime for calling facts, “hateful conduct” - if the article was true, the “anti-Indian racist’ would be deplatformed...
“And the only “contributions” are chasing normal freepers off the boards...”
I highly doubt that is happening.
“Rohit Chopra” finds “far-right hate, xenophobia, and disinformation.”
I don’t think I will take your word for it, Rohit.
AH, the joy of a chocolate dip-top cone with the strong ambience of curry.
Could be "thanks to Indians taking the jobs" and the employers who reject Americans to do give them those jobs.
OK, neckbeard.
