Western Indian diaspora that had little interest in their culture, feeling as if complete assimilation is now impossible, that they'll never be truly accepted, and seeing online racism have turned to their cultural identity for solace. Instead of disallowing, they've begun claiming more of it proudly. Even Indians in India, from disparate communities that don't necessarily get along, have become more united when confronted by external racism. If you feel threatened or otherized you consolidate with your own community even if you otherwise wouldn't or aggressively disavow your otherness and accelerste assimilation even if you'll never be truly accepted. Indians have gone the former route.
