After posting a photo to mark their 10th wedding anniversary, Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and his wife Apoorva were subjected to a wave of racist comments online. In the heartfelt post, Ramaswamy recalled meeting Apoorva, then a medical student, in 2011 and their journey together.

However, the post drew backlash from some netizens, who left racist comments like “Go back to India” and “You should be expelled from this country.” The negativity appears to be the backlash that swiftly grew following Ramaswamy’s strong public support for the H-1B visa program.
