US Firms Face Online Backlash Amid Rising Anti-Indian Sentiment and H-1B Visa Debate

US companies including FedEx, Walmart, and Verizon have faced increased online backlash and coordinated harassment linked to anti-Indian sentiment amid debates over the H-1B visa program. This surge follows policy changes under the Trump administration and incidents like a FedEx vehicle crash, which sparked racist posts targeting Indian-origin executives. Experts describe these attacks as part of a broader rise in discrimination portraying Indians as job stealers, with companies cautious about addressing race-related issues publicly.
