Four Indian-American women have been racially abused and smacked by a Mexican-American woman in the US state of Texas. The woman used racist comments at them that they are "ruining" America and should "go back to India".The incident took place on the night of 24th August, in a parking lot in Dallas, Texas. The woman named Esmeralda Upton is seen in the video identifying herself as a Mexican-American and assaulting a group of Indian-Americans."I hate you Indian. All these Indians come to America because they want a better life. You Indians are everywhere," she adds.

The video has now gone viral and sent shock waves among the Indian-American community across the United States. The person who posted this video wrote, "this incident occurred in Dallas, Texas after my mom and her three friends went to dinner". However, the user's mom is seen requesting the attacker not to make racial comments. The woman in the video also had a gun and wanted to shoot the Indian-American women just because they had an English accent. Plano Police Detectives arrested the woman on the afternoon of 25th August. She has been charged with assault, bodily injury and threats and is being held on a total bond amount of 10,000 US Dollars. This incident is currently under investigation.

Meanwhile, Urmeet Juneja, President of the India Association of North Texas, said he thinks North Texas has largely been a welcoming and safe place for people who are of South Asian countries. "We are happy that law enforcement has taken swift action and arrested this person. Still, we also think that they should conduct a fair investigation and get to the bottom of the matter and take this hate crime investigation to its conclusion," Urmeet Juneja said.
