Indian-origin Texas Democrat Pooja Sethi said she also wants her hate-free America back after Sara Gonzales’s divisive social media post.
Texas YouTuber and journalist Sara Gonzales who recently made headlines after claiming to have busted H-1B abuse in her state dropped a controversial social media post, triggering a massive backlash. Gonzales said she took her five-year-old to a park in Plano. But her son could not make any friends because all the children who playing in the park were speaking multiple foreign languages. “This is my hometown. It’s unrecognizable. I want my country back,” Gonzales wrote. “We are surrounded by foreigners, speaking multiple foreign languages, making it more difficult for my son to make friends,” she narrated. Indian-origin Democrat leader Pooja Sethi who is running for Texas House District 47 pushed back and said she too wants her country back. “I want my country back too. The one before divisive and political posts like this were written, and when neighbors and children in a park weren’t treated like a threat,” Sethi replied. One Vimal Patil pointed out the absurdity of what Sara Gonzales claimed, and said she, as a mother of three, is aware that no kids below the age of 5 start speaking their parents’ language fluently in the US. “I have three kids, all under the age of 5, and they are top students in their school. None of them speak the language I speak with my mom. They speak English even at home! So don’t bring your hatred onto kids. Get help. Get healed. This is my country too 🇺🇸 Be a good citizen,” Patil wrote, to which Sara said she was not making up what she was listening to in the park. “5 year olds dont care about your deep-rooted hate. I have a 6 year old, and we live in Plano. These kids just get along with everyone. You are the problem. While you were at that playing ground, you were only hating on the indians,” another wrote as many reminded Sara that her Gonzales surname gives away that she is not an American either.
