US far-right journalist Matt Forney suggested a bizarre solution to save Indians from racist attacks: "Deport Every Indian".
In an X post that was later deleted, Forney warned that hatred against Indians will reach a boiling point in 2026, with people from the community singled out for violence, their businesses vandalised, and their temples subjected to bombings and mass shootings.
He went on to claim that "the perpetrators will be black, Latino or Pakistani, not white, which will lead the media to cover up hate crimes they would otherwise eagerly blame on MAGA and Trump, like how the 'anti-Asian' hate crimes at the beginning of COVID were shushed up when it was discovered that blacks, not whites, were assaulting Asians."
Forney then maintained that he wants peace in America and deplore all violence. "And there is only one way to stop it. For their own safety, we must DEI: Deport Every Indian."
Who is Matt Forney?
Matt Forney, who is known for his racist remarks, is based in New York. He targeted Indian American communities through his blogs. One of them was titled, '5 Reasons Why You Should Not Date Indian Girls'. His works appeared in The Peach and Misery Tourism in the past. In 2018, he established the Terror House Press, an independent literary publisher, where he served as chief editor till 2024.
In November, was fired by The Blaze for making anti-Indian remarks on social media. He was covering Indian affairs and H-1B visas at The Blaze. "I have been let go from THE BLAZE. My Tweeting was cited as 'concern[ing]'. I was not given specific examples of Tweets that they were 'concerned' about, and THE BLAZE had reached out to me BECAUSE of my Tweeting in the first place," Forney wrote on X.
Forney on November 4 said Kruti Patel Goyal, the new CEO of Etsy, was "unqualified" and called for deportation of Indians. "Yet another unqualified Indian takes over an American company. And I guarantee her first action will be to fire every American and replace them with other Indians, either directly or via bodyshops. DEI: Deport Every Indian."
