One such disturbing incident has now come up from the United States, where an Indian-origin man was racially harassed by a white American in broad daylight and for no apparent reason. The moment was caught on camera and has since gone viral.
Indian man harassed for 'being in America'
A disturbing video of a racist incident in the US has gone viral, showing an Indian-origin man being confronted and abused by a white American man. The clip was first shared by the X account Abrahamic Lincoln and later reposted by Ghar Ke Kalesh with the caption, 'White guy confronts a random Indian man for no reason, what a racist piece of trash.'
In the video, the white man aggressively questions the Indian man in the US, saying, 'Why are you in my country? Why are you here? Why are you in America? I don't like you guys here.
There are too many of you guys here. Indians, you guys are flooding all the white countries, and we are tired of it.'
The Indian man, visibly confused but composed, simply responds with, 'Oh, is it?' and 'Alright,' before calmly walking away. Despite the non-confrontational response, the aggressor continues muttering slurs, including, 'Tired of this f*** brown people invading our f****** country. F***** bullshit.'**

One X user commented, 'White guy randomly confronting a peaceful Indian man — for what? His race? His existence? Disgusting. Absolutely shameful.' Another added, 'He should have asked that question to his government instead of asking the guy who came there legally.'
Many people also supported the immigrant saying, 'They're just intimidated by Indians! They know how talented, capable, and progressive we are. It only shows their insecurities.'

'Lost All Credibility': Suhel Seth Slams BBC Over 'Fake News' On Air India Crash Report
Last Updated: Seth told the BBC to remember that, as a publicly funded broadcaster, it must not spread what he termed 'state fake news' Businessman and commentator Suhel Seth on Saturday strongly criticised the BBC for what he called 'state-funded fake news" concerning the preliminary Air India crash report. In a video statement shared on the social media platform X, Seth, who is the founder and managing partner of the consultancy firm Counselage India, suggested that the BBC should be rechristened as the 'British Bullshitting Corporation." 'It is absolutely abhorrent for the BBC, which should now rechristen itself as the British Bullshitting Corporation, to cast dispersions on Indian pilots without actually going through the report," he stated. The rogues @BBCWorld — SUHEL SETH (@Suhelseth) July 12, 2025 He accused the BBC of using 'typical ploys" by Western organisations to slander overseas companies and professionals. 'This is not the India of yore," he added, stressing that India 'isn't part of your goddamn colony and never will be." Seth told the BBC to remember that, as a publicly funded broadcaster, it must not spread what he termed 'state fake news". 'It is tragic that the BBC has now lost all credibility. Glastonbury was about antisemitism and today it is about anti-fairness. These rogues need to be taught a lesson," he concluded. The BBC's article, published after the preliminary findings were released, suggested that the pilots 'cut off fuel to the engines" and noted that 'no fault in plane" was found. India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released its preliminary findings on Saturday following the crash of Air India Flight AI171 on 12 June. According to the report, the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner lost thrust seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad airport. Fuel supply to both engines was cut off within one second, causing the aircraft to lose altitude and crash within half a minute. The 15-page report confirmed that the fuel control switches for both engines moved from 'RUN" to 'CUTOFF" almost simultaneously. This sequence was captured on the flight data and cockpit voice recorders. One pilot is heard asking the other, 'Why did you cut off the fuel?" to which the co-pilot, who was flying the plane, reportedly responded, 'I didn't." Shortly after, a backup power source known as the ram air turbine (RAT) was deployed, indicating total engine failure. Though the pilots managed to relight both engines, only one regained enough power. A distress call was sent out, but the aircraft crashed into a nearby college hostel just outside the airport, killing nearly everyone on board and several on the ground. The fuel switches were found in the 'RUN" position at the crash site, and there was no mechanical fault reported in the engines or the aircraft. The AAIB did not determine why the switches were moved or who was responsible. It also made no safety recommendations for Boeing 787 operators at this stage. The incident is being further investigated, with assistance from US and UK aviation safety bodies.

Trump says he wants to deport 'the worst of the worst' but government data tells another story
President Donald Trump has pledged to deport 'the worst of the worst.' He frequently speaks at public appearances about the countless 'dangerous criminals' — among them murderers, rapists and child predators — from around the world he says entered the U.S. illegally under the Biden administration. He promises to expel millions of migrants in the largest deportation program in American history to protect law-abiding citizens from the violent threats he says they pose. But government data around ongoing detentions tells a different story. There has been an increase of arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since Trump began his second term, with reports of raids across the country. Yet the majority of people currently detained by ICE have no criminal convictions. Of those who do, relatively few have been convicted of high-level crimes — a stark contrast to the chilling nightmare Trump describes to support his border security agenda. 'There's a deep disconnect between the rhetoric and the reality,' said Ahilan Arulanantham, co-faculty director of the UCLA Law School's Center for Immigration Law and Policy. 'This administration, and also in the prior Trump administration, they consistently claim to be going after the worst of the worst and just talk about immigration enforcement as though it is all about going after violent, dangerous people with extensive criminal histories. And yet overwhelmingly, it's people they're targeting for arrest who have no criminal history of any kind.' A look at the numbers The latest ICE statistics show that as of June 29, there were 57,861 people detained by ICE, 41,495 — 71.7% — of whom had no criminal convictions. That includes 14,318 people with pending criminal charges and 27,177 who are subject to immigration enforcement, but have no known criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. Each detainee is assigned a threat level by ICE on a scale of 1 to 3, with one being the highest. Those without a criminal record are classified as having 'no ICE threat level.' As of June 23, the latest data available, 84% of people detained at 201 facilities nationwide were not given a threat level. Another 7% had been graded as a level 1 threat, 4% were level 2 and 5% were level 3.
