The U.S. and China are in an intense race to attract and retain world class talent. Meanwhile MAGA intellectuals are complaining that Asian-American kids work too hard.

⚡ Indian tourists are Australia’s highest spenders- averaging $5,000 per visit and dominating the luxury segment- Forbes

🇮🇳 outspend Western & Chinese tourists- and this holds true across most destinations

But this story rarely gets told. It breaks the “poor Indian” narrative

@DiggingInTheDi1 Brilliant reply to trash like you

[Indian-Americans @HinduAmericans]

There are now thousands of Indian-American attorneys and yet not a single Indian-American civil rights group has been created. Why has no one done this? We need legal support, we need to file lawsuits against discrimination.

@JethmalaniM @realDonaldTrump Without Indian immigrants, the US tech industry will fall behind China without a doubt. Many Indian engineers are critical for commercializing key technologies and enabling markets. India will hurt, but the US will lose the race for sure. Now guess who would benefit?

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

So the casual racism against Indians as “takers” or “burdens” is not just ugly, it’s false. Indians are net contributors wherever they go. Data released by President Trump @realDonaldTrump shows Indian immigrants don’t even feature among top welfare recipients in America. As I never tire of saying: Indians are a blessing to the nations they live in, and the numbers prove it.

Indians contribute more than they consume, pay the highest taxes, and build economies rather than drain them. No handouts, no freeloading.

The pattern repeats globally. In Germany, Indians earn the highest average wages - €5,400 a month - well above native Germans and other foreign nationals. That isn’t accident or privilege; it’s skill, education, discipline and relentless work ethic.

Therefore to the casual racism against Indians by pretentious dimwits : “burdens” don’t top income charts. Remember this - facts don’t care for bigotry, and the data will keep humiliating them.

🇮🇹🇺🇸 MELONI TO TRUMP: DON’T EXPECT US TO BE SUBORDINATES - FREEDOM HAS A PRICE

PM Meloni just said the quiet part out loud.

While everyone’s freaking out because Trump might pull the U.S. back from Europe, she’s not begging: she’s calling out 80 years of European laziness.

She basically told Europe: wake up, grow up, and stop pretending U.S. protection was ever free. It came with strings.

She’s not anti-American, she wants a strong bond with the U.S., but one built on respect, not dependence.

And she's done taking orders from foreign bosses.

"We outsourced our security to the U.S. for 80 years, pretending it was free. It wasn’t. The price was conditioning.

Freedom has a price, and we, unlike others, have never liked foreign interference, from anywhere.

We always preferred an expensive freedom to a very expensive but apparently convenient servitude.

We must strengthen our bond with the U.S., but in a dialogue between equals, not in a position of subordination.

Europe must finally build a NATO pillar equal in strength and dignity to the American one, able to speak with all the powers of the world."

@stats_feed I am not sure if this is true but if it is, it is not surprising. For all the negative stereo types , Indian culture has less discrimination against women than the west. They also had a very powerful woman prime minister.

@WellsJorda89710 I get the sentiment and thanks, but Vivek is an American citizen.

[Reverend Jordan Wells @WellsJorda89710]

It is white supremacy to say Vivek is less American than you because he is an immigrant.

[James Blunt @JBlunt1018]

Racism is obviously part of this. But it’s not the whole story.

Here’s something I’ve seen up close.

I’ve been at sports bars with friends and heard things like:
“How did this Indian guy make so much money?”
“He drives that car, lives like that, and doesn’t even look the part.”
“Why are they speaking their language loudly in grocery stores?”

On the surface, people call this “culture shock.” Different social norms, accents, visibility in public spaces. That’s the polite explanation.

But that’s not the real trigger.

The real discomfort starts when the economic hierarchy doesn’t line up with expectations. When the immigrant isn’t struggling. When they’re winning…. big homes, expensive cars, kids doing well, businesses thriving.

So now it’s “I couldn’t do it, so they must be cheating”

For some, especially those raised to believe success in America was theirs by default, that reversal is jarring. The resentment isn’t about manners or language. It’s about status.

When prosperity shows up in a form they didn’t anticipate or think was “earned the right way” it stops being “diversity” and starts being a threat.

That’s when culture becomes a proxy for something much older: fear of losing the top rung.
