The curry to Indian fatigue is giving Americans (and Canadians) the runs, according to Top Doc!!!
For single mom Fiona Powers, immigration was just part of the landscape that made America great. Fiona, 41, can trace her ancestral line as far back as 1849 at the height of the Great Irish Potato Famine which led millions of Micks to seek out and kiss the blarney stone shores of America.
That’s why when her neighborhood in suburban Chicago started to attract a contingent of people from India, she thought nothing of it.
“This country was founded on immigration, so why shouldn’t we return the favor,” she tells GWU!
Her tween son, Quinn, enjoyed that many Indians were opening discount tech shops that allowed him to get knock-off gadgets and phones at third-world prices, while Fiona enjoyed the flavorful Indian diners that sprung up in unlikely places, like back alleys, parks, and even inside apartment complexes. “I was a Dosa queen,” she laughs.
But that all changed during the COVID pandemic, when Fiona noticed that her white picket fence neighborhood, once home to some of Chicago’s most elite families, was being taken over by mostly young military-aged Indian men. “Uber drivers, students, and other gig economy folks had moved in and were lowering the property value,” Fiona sobs to America’s Number One Source of Newstainment, GWU!
“It’s exhausting,” she sighs over MicroSoft Teams. “Everywhere we go there are more and more Indians. Whether it’s the supermarket, the coffee shop, gas station, fast food restaurants. They basically turned our hometown shopping plaza into the Taj Ma Mini Mall.”
She goes on to say that they don’t have the same civic pride as the rest of the community. Everything from them leaving garbage everywhere to parking on lawns, to washing their saris in the creek that runs though the public park are everyday occurrences. “Our local water supply now smells like the Ganges!”
And Fiona is not alone in her frustration. Like millions of mostly white middle-class Americans, she is suffering from what Dr. Lee Creuset has diagnosed as Indian Fatigue.
“The cultural disparity is due to both the Obama and Biden administrations’ lax entry and reentry policies, specifically from the increased number of Indian foreign nationals literally shitting all over the land of the free,” writes Dr. Creusett, the author of the new book, The Curry to Indian Fatigue: 10 Ways You Can Get Your Health and Country Back.
