A 30-year-old Texas businessman and owner of Boundaries Coffee in suburban Dallas, Daniel Keene, faced severe backlash after posting a video on X in early September showing a local Ganesh Chaturthi procession. In the now-deleted post, he criticised Indian immigrants and called for ending H-1B visas, stating, "We have to cancel the H-1Bs. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India." The post went viral, leading to his expulsion from his church and gym, significant business losses, and alleged extortion threats. Despite the controversy, Keene remains unapologetic, claiming his intent was to highlight the policy's real-world impact.
His post quickly attracted backlash from Indian American communities, many of whom accused Keene of xenophobia and religious intolerance. The video, reportedly shot by his wife, showed a religious street procession that temporarily blocked their path while driving through the neighbourhood.
After the outrage on social media, elders at Keene's Baptist church reportedly asked him to apologise for what they described as a "sinful" act.

Can our economy grow as the childless cat ladies prefer to work until it gets too late?
Gotta admit family life ain’t too easy for men with all the feminists and Karens stepping up onto the soap boxes.
Most people’s morality is just cowardice. Joining the current groupthink because it is the path of least resistance.
Open borders is the current default groupthink you aren’t supposed to question or you are lumped in with “literally hitler” Donald Trump.
I can’t stand religious leaders who are just cowardly enforcers of the secular orthodoxy.
Absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. And he got canceled in Texas?
Texas is full of non Americans
find a new church. ridiculous. same for the gym. I agree with the guy; I don’t want india running everything here
Texas?? Not Austin??
Good grief!
If I were nearby, I’d patronize his business.
Members need to cancel that gym, and the fake church.
Hope this guy runs for office . I’ll donate some money. We need people
In power that love their people and country more than they love money from big tech.
Texas is utterly brimming with Bushie republicans who are the very ones who brought in the H1Bs in the first place. Also filled with modern ecumenical Baptists and shopping mall churches that want their flock to love and honor Hinduism and Islam.
Jesus wouldn’t recognize them.
“Find a new church...”
That’s right. The Apostle Peter had it right (of course, he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to say this):
1 Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.
Church in question (found by searching the name independently and following sources):
I knew the city right away, it happens to be where I live.
This is one of the things I like about being retired. It’s what makes us retired guys dangerous to the status quo. They can’t silence us. And we tend to tell it like it is.
They go into orbit about that. The venom comes out. The Big 5 consulting firm hegemony is over. We need to make them as uncomfortable as possible up to the whisper of the law
What is the name of his church? We need to pray for their souls. Evidently they are not getting any biblical teaching. Nothing he said was âÂÂsinfulâÂÂ. Also we need to support his business.
Daniel Keene? Or Dylan Mulvaney.
Charlie Kirk, or George Floyd?
I’m going with Dan and Charlie.
