Anyone who has had to work with pajeets hates them. You might be very surprised if you did a straw poll. I suspect what has happened is an inadvertent lightning rod for underlying sentiment. It seems inorganic, but actually just highlighted people's private views in public. Also, only relatively recently has the massive influx of Indians to the UK and Canada become common knowledge and the deleterious effects noted - Australia is now sadly following the same path thanks to a retarded communist being installed as the PM.
