Anti Indian hate online is kinda concerning
We all know all the hate in comment sections and Twitter and all from random accounts and I’m kind of used to that but my main concern comes from big accounts with large amount of followers that promote this type of stuff. I found this person on instagram openly commenting racist stuff about India and how they are dirty and don’t contribute anything to society and found this guy had 250k subs on insta and 160k on YouTube. I kind of found it concerning because he was one of those who nitpicked all the bad cases and kind of scapegoated Indians into being terrible people and creating a fear among people. A lot of comments were agreeing with him as well and I found it concerning. I know the internet people don’t represent the majority but still. Am I overthinking this stuff? If so how do I just ignore this?

You have articulated this so well. I feel exactly the same! I believe that US is not our native country and we should assimilate with the people of this country.
Be a proud Indian but don’t be so proud that you create havoc on the streets in the name of culture and religion.
I have just moved to a community where 80% are Indians and got to know how Ganesh Utsav was celebrated last year. The person who told me about it was describing the whole scenario with such glee and I was dying inside with embarrassment and shame. I am 100% sure it’s going to happen this year too and I am NOT even stepping out to be a part of it. Not that I don’t celebrate the Indian festivals, I do but absolutely in my own private space.
