The racists have won (hopefully temporarily) but for now, any culture other than what those people have deemed as "American" has been banned slowly but surely. Clothes, cuisine, arts, anything that they don't feel is white-bred American is out. Trying to stamp out the culture since they hadn't yet been able to actually stamp out the people themselves. Of course, that just means that it is hidden (and those white-bred racists don't get to enjoy it). Enter in the covert food trucks like the one that Avi and Preeda run. Buying forbidden ingredients to make forbidden dishes and bribing the police with free food (even if that food is technically illegal). Maybe some day things will get better but in the meantime, you can still get a good curry if you know where to go.
A bleak outlook at the kind of America some people want and how much of our identity we stand to lose if these ideologies are taken to extremes.
