The wife of Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance, #Usha #Chilukuri #Vance, and the couple's #children have become the targets of backlash for their Indian ancestry.

Chilukuri Vance, the daughter of Indian immigrants who grew up in San Diego, as well as RNC speaker #Harmeet #Dhillon -- who is Sikh and Indian
– are facing anti-Asian hate from far-right figures online.

Posts appear to have spiked this week following Vance's nomination
criticizing Vance for marrying someone who is non-white,
expressing concerns about an influx of Indian immigrants as a result and the so-called #Great #Replacement #conspiracy
have garnered hundreds of thousands of views according to individual post engagement figures.

"Stop AAPI Hate", an advocacy group that tracks anti-Asian hate incidents,
condemned the attacks, arguing that the onslaught of hate has reinforced
“heightened levels of fear and anxiety Asian Americans and immigrants are currently experiencing across the country leading up to this year’s presidential election.”
