‘Happy to eat your share of samosas’: MAGA influencer slams pastor for speaking up for Indians

'Happy to eat your share of samosas': MAGA influencer slams pastor for speaking up for Indians

The city council meeting of Frisco Tuesday turned acrimonious with the H-1B issue and the ‘Indian takeover’ of Texas, triggering a major social media debate. Many Frisco residents spoke about how they are happy living with Indian immigrants; some voices came out as extreme. MAGA influencer Kaylee Campbell, who was gathering support for the Frisco City Council meeting on social media, slammed pastor David Lessner for allegedly taking the side of the Indians in a Facebook post. “I’m a white person who feels incredibly safe and incredibly blessed to live where I live. Around 50% of our neighbors are of Indian (or similar region) origin. If you don’t want to live in McKinney/Frisco because you’re uncomfortable with non-white people, I’m happy to eat your share of samosas and live in relative prosperity,” the pastor at United Methodist Church in Arlington wrote. The post was later not found. Calling this blatant racism, Lessner wrote that if Frisco and McKinney are what ‘Indian takeover’ looks like, ‘sign me up’. “For those who think immigration is a ‘liberal’ problem, Frisco and McKinney are two cities that conservatives can count on for votes without hardly needing to campaign,” Lessner said. The meeting became a flashpoint for online commentators as a troop of Webelos Scouts led the meeting’s pledge of allegiance, and several children in that group were of Indian origin. Several speakers at the meeting were of Indian origin Campbell also attacked Representative Jared Patterson for his message rejecting hatred against the Indian community. “We, in Frisco, as a community, should resoundingly REJECT the outright racist rhetoric online and at tonight’s Frisco City Council meeting toward our friends and neighbors in the Indian community,” Patterson apparently wrote before the meeting. Burt Thakur, the first Indian-American member of the Frisco City Council, addressed the ‘Indian’ issue at the meeting and said Indians who came to America became Americans and contributed to American Dream.
