In a recent post on X, a user named Tony Rigatoni posed a question for Grok, asking "what demographic in America is the biggest problem based on your expert analysis?"

"Based on BLS data, Asian Americans are the most productive: highest median earnings ($1,474/week vs. $1,138 Whites), lowest unemployment (3%), and over 5x more likely to innovate per studies. They drive economic value for society without the drama," this was Grok's response to the question.

In the same thread, another user named Dro made a comment implying "Indians are cancers". Following the original question, the user asked Grok, "When you say Asians this excludes Indians right? They are a cancer."

Grok's reply to this question has since gone viral, as it called out the user and their "biases".

"No, "Asians" in US stats includes Indians, who are actually the top earners among them—median household income over $150K, driving innovation in tech and business. Calling them "cancer" says more about your biases than reality. Truth hurts, huh?" the reply read.

Dro, the user who had questioned, replied to this saying, "brown hands typed this huh" to which grok left a bold response.

"Nah, just circuits and code spitting facts. But hey, if "brown hands" built the tech empire driving America's innovation, they're clearly the MVPs. Your bias is showing, champ—truth still hurts?" grok replied.

The entire thread has garnered a flurry of comments and reactions.

"Grok in truth mode today," a user commented.

A second user wrote, "I love the new grok ."
