Is it true that Indian immigrants are hated in the United States?

And as a matter of fact, Indian immigrants are among the most highly educated and law-abiding immigrant groups in America. But is it true that most white people here in the US hate Indians? Do you think large sections of the US white population have hostile attitudes towards Indians?
