Amid debates over H1B visa policies, Vivek Ramaswamy, Indian-American leader of the upcoming Department of Government Efficiency, emphasized cultural reforms in the US. He argued that American culture often prioritizes "mediocrity over excellence," contributing to the dominance of immigrant talent in tech industries. Citing examples from popular culture, Ramaswamy urged parents to focus on fostering achievement, citing science competitions over TV reruns and math tutoring over leisure. Calling it a "Sputnik moment," he highlighted the need for a cultural shift to compete globally. Canadian musician Grimes also defended Indian immigrants, condemning anti-India rhetoric and praising Indian-American cultural integration.
