One such disturbing incident has now come up from the United States, where an Indian-origin man was racially harassed by a white American in broad daylight and for no apparent reason. The moment was caught on camera and has since gone viral.
Indian man harassed for 'being in America'
A disturbing video of a racist incident in the US has gone viral, showing an Indian-origin man being confronted and abused by a white American man. The clip was first shared by the X account Abrahamic Lincoln and later reposted by Ghar Ke Kalesh with the caption, 'White guy confronts a random Indian man for no reason, what a racist piece of trash.'
In the video, the white man aggressively questions the Indian man in the US, saying, 'Why are you in my country? Why are you here? Why are you in America? I don't like you guys here.
There are too many of you guys here. Indians, you guys are flooding all the white countries, and we are tired of it.'
The Indian man, visibly confused but composed, simply responds with, 'Oh, is it?' and 'Alright,' before calmly walking away. Despite the non-confrontational response, the aggressor continues muttering slurs, including, 'Tired of this f*** brown people invading our f****** country. F***** bullshit.'**

The video has sparked intense debate online, with many condemning the man's behaviour and praising the Indian man's calm demeanor. One X user commented, 'White guy randomly confronting a peaceful Indian man — for what? His race? His existence? Disgusting. Absolutely shameful.' Another added, 'He should have asked that question to his government instead of asking the guy who came there legally.'
Many people also supported the immigrant saying, 'They're just intimidated by Indians! They know how talented, capable, and progressive we are. It only shows their insecurities.'
