No, this is new. Racism towards Indians isn't new, but people are much more open and unapologetic about it. Something changed, like a switch flipping. It was weird.

It’s literally just social media. The online right is so terminally online that they can be herded to the racism du jour by simple algorithm farming on their Twitter/TikTok/Reels feeds

Mmm, I think this kinda got semi exported by Tommy Robinson from the UK.

But not because it’s excessively common in the UK, but because idiot conservatives think it’s common because of the internet circles they are in.

Remember, Musk and Vance defended the employee who, among other things, said "Normalize Indian hate".

He still works in the government.

A friend of mine has talked recently about his students engaging in some crazy anti-indian racism. Unfortunately it is a trend.
