Hindu American Foundation has taken to social media to share online posts backing anti-Hindu narrative under the guise of H1-B visa criticism. The recent debate has begun after Diwali celebration, which many in the US opposed calling it a result of immigration base that the country maintains. Sharing a few such posts, the Foundation said that so-called H-1B criticism is turning into “online Hinduphobia”.

“H1-B criticism morphed into online Hinduphobia and anti-Indian racism. Then city council members and political candidates began calling for mass deportations,” it said.

The Foundation added that masked men are now “loitering on sidewalks calling Hindu divinity “foreign demons”.” It said that the community must be prepared for whatever may be coming next. “What’s next? We must be prepared,” it said.

Indians are much more racist towards each other than we possibly could be.

[dfwgator]

What does that have to do with us?

H1-B criticism morphed into online Hinduphobia and anti-Indian racism

No one cares about your religion and skin color.

The issue is cultural and national imperatives for citizens.

ie you are racially an Indian and born in America. Great, get any job you want and see you at the next baseball game...

Their demonic religion is part of their culture.

When my wife’s mental faculties were diminished by MS—I was at work—she was scammed by an Indian pretending to be a Microsoft employee. I had to straighten out the mess.
True immigrants should be assets, not liabilities.
We can deport every single Kumar and I’m good with it.

Usually, and empirically, it is the left that is intolerant; so, it’s been disturbing to see so much of it on these topics/threads, usually posted by a former(?) Ukrainian shill.

The failures of the H1-B visa system are not those of people, from any country, who would take advantage of it; the failures can be assigned to the politicians, who have enabled the broken process, and companies that have taken advantage of it. In theory, the process is supposed to ensure that the wages paid are at market rates, it is NOT supposed to be undercut, in order to create “slave” or “cheap” labor. Who enforces this? Surely it isn’t the H1-B employee, right?

The program is supposed to be used for individuals who have extraordinary merit in their field, but it should go through the full labor certification process, during which recruitment efforts are made; ONLY if suitable US candidates are not found, then the application moves forward and a visa is issued. I don’t believe this labor certification process is followed for H1-Bs but it is followed for those who are sponsored for permanent residence via a job offer.

Again, the failure of the process is NOT that of any person seeking an H1-B visa; they did NOT put the process in place, and yet, I notice very few attacks on the people or entities that are responsible, why? We rightly blame the Biden regime for all of the illegal border crossings; who would not want to have a chance at the incentives that were handed out? How is this any different from what’s happening on this H1-B issue?

On the issue of CDL licenses handed out to people who cannot speak or understand the language, how is this conceivable in any scenario other than one in which, yet again, some version of the government has failed? Do licensees understand that they have a moral obligation to do the right thing in keeping everyone safe? Perhaps not; of course, they should, but again, the process is what has failed here. If we could depend on everyone to fulfill his/her moral obligation, there will likely be no need for a government (or just a very limited one, like we are supposed to have).

Speaking of morality, the attacks on Hinduism is yet another example of the intolerance here. IMO, in an ideal world, people should be free to follow whatever “religion” they choose to; one can believe they are mistaken, misguided, wrong, whatever, but I don’t believe it’s any other person’s business UNLESS it somehow infringes on that person’s rights, and certainly not by any government’s actions.

A lot of it stems from the FACT that Indian managers only hire other Indians.

[nwrep]

No they didn’t.

[NorthMountain]

Yet another bogus “phobia” ... I’m sick of all the minority grievance bullstuff.

[KC_Conspirator]

This program makes up 75 percent of Indians. Totally abused.

[House Atreides]

Oh no… Looks like Hindus are going to be claiming victim status now.

The H-1B crowd is simply going to have to recognize that the party is over. Time to go home.

[neverevergiveup]

America is the biggest melting pot in the world. We have Americans of just about every race and creed. Our open arms have been used by those who want to take advantage of us - not become one of us.
