At the same time, there have also been reported instances of racism, with some even mocking the names of the Vances' children. “The piece that is important to remember is that these anti-immigration policies actually affect a lot of people in the Indian community, including families that people like Usha Vance and others are a part of,” Iyer said. “It sort of feels like the children of Indian immigrants on that main stage believe that these policies wouldn’t apply to them.”
