Texas woman Kelly Smith posts AI-generated picture to mock Indians and says her new name is Priya.<\/p>\n

A Texas woman who claims to be running in the Texas gubernatorial election has sparked some new anti-India sentiments because she has ‘decided to become an Indian’ because all Indians, like me, are claiming to be Americans. While posting her photo in Indian attire in front of the temple background, she told that her new name is Priya. Kelly wrote, “I will eat hamburgers and wear shoes at the temple because I can’t give up my Texan culture. I’m Indian just like all of you, my new name proves it. In fact, we should all be Indians and grill some steaks at the temple. Thank you.”As the AI \u200b\u200bphoto drew a huge backlash from the Indian community, which has already become a target in the state, Kelly said: “You guys are getting so angry over a joke photo of me grilling burgers, which is what Texans do. Imagine how Texans feel about you guys not respecting this in real life. Get off your high horse. True Texans are raised to respect our nature and not litter. Putting milk, statues and fruits in our lakes is more insulting to us than some stupid AI photo. Texans are tired of seeing Indian shops on every corner, every new shopping center here is Indian!! This is not India! “It’s insulting to us,” Kelly said.While there is no dearth of India-hating Americans in Texas, Kelly Smith says she is a write-in candidate for the gubernatorial election this November. A write-in candidate is one whose name is not on the printed ballot and voters must manually write in the name. She has a fundraising campaign which has received only 14 donations so far and she knows that her contesting the election is a far-fetched idea, but to attract attention she uses the surefire way on social media – spreading anti-India hatred.“My name is Kelly Smith, and I’m a lifelong Texan. I grew up in Cedar Hill. I believe in America, and I believe Texas belongs to Texans. Let’s come together, and I will add my name as a write-in to the ballot for governor this November. It’s a tall order, but worth saving Texas,” her fundraiser says.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
