What's wrong with Indians? Why do so many people here want us to hate on Indians?

It has become a norm on the internet. Even calling it out is usually met with downvotes, name-calling, and more hateful replies.
There’s nothing wrong with Indians. Indian immigrants I’ve worked with professionally have been great.

There’s something massively wrong with bringing over tons of cheap labour, who are themselves constantly exploited and abused due to their precarious arrangement, creating a situation where they have no reason to care about the society or culture they’re moving into, because it obviously doesn’t care about them.

They are lied to, cheated from, and stolen from, and are the victims of racism. In turn, a disproportionate number of them will lie, cheat, steel, and exercise racism, or casteism. That’s not specific to Indians, that’s just human nature. As a result, the trust level in society is collapsing.

The Indians are not the source of the problem here, the businesses and politicians who created this environment are. The Indians are another group of victims. They are sold false promises and set up for exploitation, and desperate people in an insecure position are not a good foundation for a healthy society.

Indians are victims, and in order to protect them we must deny them the ability to move and work?
