A lady in the US state of Texas allegedly assaulted four Indian American women during a racist attack after calling them racial slurs and telling them to “get back to India.”
The event happened on Wednesday evening at a Dallas, Texas, parking lot. The footage shows the woman—who has since been detained—hitting a group of Indian Americans.
She may be seen in the video ordering the women to “Return to India. You guys are destroying our nation, “said CBS News.
The video has now gone viral, shocking the Indian American community all across the country.
The racist woman is shown on camera screaming racial obscenities and hitting at least two of the Indian ladies on camera.
This event happened in Dallas, Texas, after my mother and her three friends had gone out to supper, according to the individual who submitted the video.
The mother is shown refuting the woman’s claims while maintaining her composure. She is seen asking the assailant to stop using racist epithets.
Esmeralda Upton was taken into custody by Plano Police Detectives on Thursday afternoon. She has been charged with assault, causing bodily harm, and making terroristic threats. Her total bond is $10,000.
“While we are grateful that our community members are safe, hearing to their pleas for assistance from the verbal, physical, and racist attack this lady was unleashing in that dark parking lot is frustrating,” said Chanda Parbhoo, executive director of South Asian American Voter Engagement of Texas.
