A disturbing video of a racist confrontation is going viral on social media, showing an American man aggressively harassing an Indian man with hateful, xenophobic remarks. In the video, the American man is heard throwing slurs and blaming the Indian community for “flooding all-white” countries. The video seems to have been shot by the American himself, where he is seen asking the Indian-origin man “Why are you in my country? Why are you here? Why are you here in America?”
The incident appears to be unprovoked, with the Indian man remaining calm while being verbally attacked. “Americans are getting sick of this. Go back to India,” the man can be heard saying. As the Indian man leaves, the American can be seen turning the camera to himself saying, “I’m tired of these f* goddamn brown people living in our f country. F** bulls***.”

‘Shut your shops in India’: Internet outraged
The video has quickly gained traction online, drawing widespread criticism from viewers around the world. Many social media users have condemned the outburst, calling it a stark reminder of the racism immigrants and people of color still face in many parts of the world.
One of the X users called for Americans to “shur their shops in India”, while another demanded for the man’s arrest for spreading hate crime.
Several netizens have demanded action against the man in the video, urging authorities to investigate the matter seriously.
The clip has also sparked conversations about rising xenophobia, especially towards the South Asian community, in Western countries. This is yet another example of the challenges many immigrants continue to face, despite contributing significantly to the societies they live in.
