Condemning racist rhetoric targeting Indian and Chinese Americans, reaffirming that immigrants from all backgrounds are vital to the United States, and calling on all elected officials to refrain from language that promotes racial or ethnic division.
This resolution condemns racist rhetoric that has been directed at Indian and Chinese Americans, particularly language amplified by the President in April 2026 that used derogatory terms to describe immigrants from these countries and suggested they are undermining American society. The resolution reaffirms that immigrants from all backgrounds, including Indian and Chinese Americans, make vital contributions to the U.S. economy, culture, and security, and calls on all elected officials to stop using language that promotes racial or ethnic division. The measure documents a surge in anti-Asian hate speech online since the 2024 presidential election, with anti-South Asian slur usage rising approximately 75 percent between November 2024 and January 2025 across social media platforms. As a House resolution, this legislation serves as an expression of the chamber's position rather than binding law, and it does not include funding or specific implementation timelines. The resolution was introduced by members of Congress in May 2026 and referred to the Judiciary Committee.
