Viral Video: TO viral A video that has appeared on social media shows how a random woman in Canada abuses and makes racist comments about a man of Indian origin.
The video shared by Ashwin Annamalai on social media X shares his ordeal of how he was a victim of a racist comment from a random woman in Canada. The viral video also comes with a caption that reads, “The once welcoming community of Kitchener-Waterloo has seen a disturbing rise in hate, particularly against people of color.” Here’s a personal account of what I experienced today: A random woman pointed her finger at me and spat hate while I was out for a walk in Erb/Avondale.’
‘She WRONGLY assumed that I am Indian and that I must leave immediately. When I very politely challenged her, she continued her racist rants… She is also upset because there are black people in the community. He also accuses me of not speaking English and that I just have to leave,” Ashwin tweeted.
Indian man faces racism in Canada Viral Video
This is not an isolated incident. These types of hate-filled encounters have occurred regularly since the beginning of the year, and people seem to be increasingly emboldened. I have spoken out about the racism that international students face in our community.
Ashwin’s tweet on social media site X has sparked an online debate amid worsening relations between India and Canada. Netizens in the comments section started sharing their thoughts and opinions on the matter. One user wrote: ‘Growing up in the region, I am shocked and saddened to see this. I think you’re right, these may be a minority of cases like this, but they are still too many and unfortunately reflect worrying trends. Congratulations on handling this with grace, given the treatment you received.’
Another user wrote: ‘This is horrible, I’m sorry for what happened.’ Anti-immigrant rhetoric is growing rapidly, politicians continue to preach and normalize it. It’s very scary for all people of color.
The time has come when we, as a community, can definitely do something much better than blaming each other and come together to find solutions to the problems that plague us all.
