They carried placards with anti-Hindu slogans like "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians." The activists were quickly escorted out. The incident was widely condemned by U.S. lawmakers and community leaders, and videos went viral on social media. The event was part of Seattle Center Festal, attracting around 400,000 visitors annually.
