Far-Right Activists Disrupt Seattle Diwali Celebration with Anti-Hindu Slogans
Far-right activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen disrupted a Diwali celebration at Seattle Center Armory on November 7, carrying placards with anti-Hindu slogans such as "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians." Attendees confronted and removed the protesters, who later posted abusive messages online blaming Hindus for political shifts. The incident drew widespread condemnation from US Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, Indian-American leaders, and Hindu organizations, who called the display racist and urged community vigilance. Lang, pardoned by former President Trump for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack, leads the group White Replacement.
