Interesting commentary on this by historian Aparna Nair on Bluesky. Essentially, saying that caste and discrimination is inherent in a certain cohort of the society which adhere to racism and eugenics.

Not visible unless having a Bsky account

But yeah, some of these emigres still cling onto attitudes and prejudices which they then apply to even a foreign environment. In this case, screwing the millions of people having become heavily reliant on Alphabet products. And Americans now have an FBI director of Indian origin with a fuck-you-got-mine mindset.

On top of that, India in a way is a dystopia where the wealth gap is very staggering. Millions in abject poverty and literally eating from scraps, Muslims are increasingly marginalized, women of all ages almost face sexual violence. While simultaneously having nuclear weapons, a space program, and the most active homegrown industries asides from China.

There's always two kinds of emigre groups: those being "fuck you got mine" with FU money and the other ne'er-to-do they seek to stamp out and narc to ICE.

discrimination against rich indians is quite less common than other POCs i noticed, since they are one of the richest "ethnicities" in america, thats why they are pretty much acceptable in the GOP, as a group they have "billionaire money+influence" to deflect attention, but not as individuals.
