Indian-Origin Texas Candidate Faces Racist Backlash Over Campaign Billboard | Firstpost America

In the heated arena of American politics, a single campaign billboard for Pooja Sethi ignited a fierce online storm. After conservative commentator Savanah Hernandez shared the image, debate quickly shifted from policy to identity. Sethi, an Indian-origin candidate for the Texas State House, responded firmly, defending her heritage and calling out prejudice. While trolls escalated with racist remarks and calls to bar “foreigners” from office, supporters rallied behind her, urging focus on policy over name.
