Washington: Four Indian-American women have been racially abused and smacked by a Mexican-American woman in the US state of Texas who hurled racist slurs at them that they are “ruining” America and should “go back to India”.
The incident took place on Wednesday night in a parking lot in Dallas, Texas. The woman, who has now been arrested, is seen in the video identifying herself as a Mexi can-American and assaulting a group of Indian- Americans.
“I hate you Indian. All these Indians come to America because they want a better life,” Esmeralda Upton is seen saying in the video. “You Indians are everywhere,” she adds while hurling abuses at the four Indian-American women.
The video shows her telling the group of women to “Go back to India. You… people are ruining this country,” CBS News reported. The video has now gone viral and sent shock waves among the Indian-American community across the United States. The video shows Upt on using racial slurs, and at one point physically smacking at least two of the Indian women.
The person who posted this video wrote, “this incident occurred in Dall as, Texas after my mom and her three friends went to dinner”. The mom is seen contesting the arguments made by the Mexican- American woman while remaining calm. She is seen requesting the attacker not to make racial slurs. At one point, the Mexi can-American woman, who says she was born in the United States, is seen assaulting the mom and her other friends as well.
