Non-Hyphenated American

I worked for an Indian tech company for years. Let me tell you some *practical* reasons why we don’t want them here. I worked for the CEO and was their CMO. I, and the small handful of other white employees were hired to help get their foot into the door of America. 🧵

Yo, I’ve been seeing a TON of this ignorant hate lately. People dragging Indians for “not serving in the US military.” Are you fucking kidding me?! Why the hell would we waste America’s TOP MINDS on the front lines getting blown up?! Indians built Silicon Valley, run half the tech giants, dominate medicine, engineering, and innovation. We’re the ones coding the drones, designing the weapons systems, keeping the economy humming so this country can even AFFORD a military. We’re doctors saving your asses in hospitals, not cannon fodder in some desert. You want bodies? Go recruit from the groups that aren’t carrying the GDP on their backs. Stop the racist cope. Indians contribute more to America in one fiscal quarter than most critics do in a lifetime. Protect the brains. The front lines aren’t for the people keeping this superpower alive. Mic drop 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 🧠
