I didn't realize it was so prevalent, especially in the U.S., until the Democrats started ganging up on #Tulsi for her faith. It was so disgusting to see. And really heartbreaking too, given that the immensely popular Yoga scene is filled with Hindu ideas and Hindu philosophy. It really speaks to the ignorance of Americans, liberals included.

Hinduphobia in the U.S. is a reflection of the Hinduphobia rampant in India. Unfortunately, Hindus don't have a concept of proselytizing which is why there are no conversion activities. Taking advantage of this, the Abrahamics have launched a massive effort to convert as many as possible, which is central to their philosophy. Since more than a millennia now, Hinduism has been the one and only threat facing Abrahamic faith and to establish Islamic or Christianic hegemony, Hinduism has to be done away with.
Now, reflect the same scenario on the socio-political scene in the U.S. and you will see that with Islam being the fastest growing religious affiliation, it presents a very large voting block. To get these votes, politicians such as Kamala Harris and Joe Biden tap into this sentiment. This means that to promote islam, you need to antagonize Hinduism which is what is being reflected. Also, in most cases, Hindus are a passive population who will not riot or cause chaos where they live. This is THE major factor that promotes anti-Hindu bias.
In light of what I have mentioned above, what is being created in the U.S. are Abrahamic power centers that need appeasement to function. This is extremely dangerous since we Indian Hindus have first hand experience in appeasement politics. I hope I have answered the question satisfactorily.
