A viral video circulating on social media has triggered widespread outrage after showing an American man confronting an Indian H1B visa holder with a racist outburst. In the clip, the American aggressively questions the Indian man’s presence in the US, asking, “Why are you in my country?” and complaining about the number of Indians living in “white countries.” The incident appears to reflect underlying xenophobic sentiment, sparking debate across platforms about the treatment of immigrants and skilled foreign workers in the United States.
The confrontation, which has amassed thousands of views online, shows the American expressing frustration, claiming that Americans are “fed up” with the growing presence of Indians. While the Indian man remains calm, the video’s content has drawn criticism.
‘This is not helping at all’
The internet was raging with criticism over this video. A user said, “There are so many fake companies founded by Indians who are giving other Indians “a job” to stay in this country. Those companies are illegal and they should be penalized. Finding random Indian dudes on the street to blame is not helping.”
Another added, “There are so many fake companies founded by Indians who are giving other Indians “a job” to stay in this country. Those companies are illegal and they should be penalized. Finding random Indian dudes on the street to blame is not helping.”
“The Indian guy handled this very well. The other guy is a loser. That’s no way to treat people,” noted a user.” The so called white person was looking for confrontation. That smile and ‘oh’ are classic indirect foo bar,” added a netizen. “Can we find that racist idiot and let his employer or prospective businesses know how he feels,” claimed another.
A user wrote, “Indians only haven’t gotten hate because the economy has been relatively good for tech and they remained mostly invisible to the general public. Now tech is having a prolonged downturn and there are a noticeable amount of Indians in any city with at least moderate tech presence. This is always how things would end up. Worse, many Indians thought it would be a good idea to be openly racist towards black and Hispanic people. Called white liberals soft. Now that they are getting the tiniest heat, they’re attacking white people like crazy. Honestly, I hate to say it, conservatives were right about one thing: Indians really needed to chill and realize they’re in a different country. Y’all had no idea what you stepped into.”
