Last Updated: Reacting to the woman's post, a user said, 'It's not only India. Mexico, Africa, Asia, and most of the non-White, non-Western world get the same treatment.' It is the 21st century, but we are yet to get rid of social evils like racism. Such prejudicial thoughts are so ingrained in our social fabric that whenever a Westerner is married to an Indian, they have to face limitless offensive remarks. One incident that has come to light is that of an American digital creator who is married to an Indian man. According to her Instagram bio, she has been living in India for 19 years and teaches Hindi. Taking to her Instagram account, she listed down all the shocking comments she has faced ever since she married her Indian husband and moved to India. The woman was seen casually taking a stroll in a narrow lane flanked by shops. The text on her video read: 'Absurd things trolls say to foreigners married to Indians." She then lists all the offensive comments she has received over the years. 'Your husband married you for a green card," 'I feel bad for you that you married a dark-skinned person," 'You destroyed your life by moving to India," 'Too bad your kids aren't white like you," she wrote on the video. In the caption, the American woman further talked about the issue, saying, 'How many of these have you heard or seen online? In promise, this is just a sample of colourism, racism and white skin, western passport worship I see on a daily basis." Here's How The Internet Reacted? Taking to the comments, many social media users have shared their experience with such trolls, and others were disappointed to see how a section of society is still 'racist" even when we are living in 2025. 'So sad that people have such terrible things to say to people just living their life," said one user, whereas another added, 'Always the green card comment for me." 'Yes, people with small minds will say horrible things, and probably have never travelled or experienced other cultures. It's very sad," said a different one. Someone shared how people all over the world face such comments, writing, 'It's not only India. Mexico, Africa, Asia, and most of the non-White, non-Western world get the same treatment. Very sad this is still happening in 2025." Another person gave a solution to the American woman, saying, 'Try sarcasm sometimes, 'unlike you people, I'm not that white-obsessed". Ignore and avoid such people mostly." Since the woman has posted the video on her profile, it has received over 2,00,000 views.
