New York: A video out of Texas has sparked a wave of anger online. In the clip that has gone viral online, a man is seen tearing up an Indian flag right outside Frisco City Hall as crowds shout anti-India
slogans amidst what looked like a protest against immigration. The act itself lasted barely a moment, but it’s already become a hot topic of discussion in the middle of the ongoing fight over immigration, race, and the growing Indian-American community in Texas.
The footage, shared widely on X and other social media platforms, shows a man ripping apart the Indian tricolor as voices in the crowd repeatedly shouted profanities directed at India: “F*ck India! F*ck India!”
Conservative commentator Elijah Schaffer put it out there, calling the protest a response to what some see as an “Indian immigration invasion” in North Dallas.
While the act itself lasted only a few moments, the online outrage was immediate. Thousands online called it racist, xenophobic, and flat-out disrespectful. Many people pointed out that being against immigration doesn’t mean you get to target an entire community. Others noted Indian-Americans play a huge role in Texas, especially in cities like Frisco, Plano, and Irving, where their numbers have shot up over the last decade.
