Diwali, a Festival of Light, Targeted by Anti-Hindu Hate in Seattle, US
Two MAGA activists, Jake Lang and Thomas Allen, disrupted a Hindu Diwali celebration at Seattle Center Armory, carrying placards reading “Deport All Dot Heads” and “Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians.”
“Dot Head” is a racist slur targeting South Asians, particularly Indians, mocking the bindi traditionally worn on the forehead.
Notably, Lang, a January 6 Capitol riot participant, also failed to make it onto Florida’s 2026 Republican Senate primary ballot after failing to properly register his candidacy.
A festival meant to celebrate light, unity and hope should never become a target of religious hatred.
