A US entrepreneur has asked Indians to leave Texas, saying “racist tempers” are not worth the state’s financial incentives such as an income tax exemption. James Blunt said in a post that “there are many beautiful states” that are more popular and said Texas’ property taxes undermine its perceived economic advantages.Advertisement The post sparked both support and criticism. One comment read: “No. America should ban H-1B visa. Do you really think India, China or any other country would tolerate an H-1B style system in their own country? A big hell no. People should stop migrating to the west. They don’t want it. “
Another user said: “No. This is exactly what the racists want. These once sleepy suburbs outside of Dallas, Houston and Austin used to be sunset towns. Texas has experienced incredible growth in the last 25 years. A racist has to hate someone before they disappear.” One user said: “Don’t give racists that much satisfaction. Are you secretly on their side?”
