A video of an Indian-origin man strongly protesting against a racist attack on a woman in Nova Scotia, Canada, is going viral. The woman driving the car asked the man recording the video to go back to his country.
The man rebuked the woman, saying, “Your face tells you that you are a racist person. Your face says it all.” “If you don’t like it, go back,” the woman said. “Go back where?”
The man replied. “Wherever you come from,” said the woman. “Where do you think I came from?” the man said. “Get away from my car,” the woman yelled.“
You may be unemployed, but I have a job,” the man shouted and called the woman a “fucking piece of shit” and a “fucking Karen”.
Indian-origin man Lovepreet Singh then posted the video on his Instagram and said that it happened to him in Kentville, a small town in Nova Scotia, where he works. Lovepreet wrote, ”
And that’s all it took to ruin my day. Before I could even take out my phone, he had already said, ‘Go back to India’ and later changed it to ‘to your mother’. “Like this!” Lovepreet wrote.
As soon as the video went viral, social media users commented that it was clear Lovepreet was neither an illegal nor a criminal, yet she still had to face such a racist attack.
He’s legal, a good citizen, pays taxes, and contributes to the community. What does he get in return? Disturbed peace of mind? Harassment? Racism?
” one commented. Many people supported the woman, saying the viral video does not make clear what provoked her attack on Lovepreet and that some context may be missing.
