Jethmalani Debunks 'Casual Racism,' Says US Data Proves Indians Are Net Contributors

  • BJP leader Mahesh Jethmalani countered "casual racism" against Indians, citing US data.
  • His comments followed Donald Trump sharing welfare recipient rates among immigrants, which excluded India.
  • Jethmalani asserted Indians are "net contributors," not "takers," paying high taxes and building economies.
  • Indian Americans have the highest median household income (USD 151,200) among Asian-origin groups in the US.
  • Indians in Germany also earn the highest average wages (€5,400/month), attributed to skill and work ethic.

Why It Matters: US data and global trends confirm Indians are significant economic contributors, disproving "taker" stereotypes.
