“Go back to India” – that was among the racist comments hurled at Indian-American politician Vivek Ramaswamy after he shared a heartfelt 10th wedding anniversary post dedicated to his wife, Apoorva. In the post, Ramaswamy recalled their first date and a symbolic hike they completed years later. However, the tribute drew xenophobic backlash on social media, with users attacking their ethnicity and mocking their appearance. The hateful response comes amid controversy over Ramaswamy’s stance on the H-1B visa program, with critics accusing him of hypocrisy. The incident highlights persistent racism faced by immigrants and people of color in U.S. public life. (PC: X/ Vivek Ramaswamy)
