PLANO, TX: A Mexican American spewed shocking racist insults at a group of Indian women in a parking lot which went viral on social media.
FREMONT, CA: An Indian was verbally assaulted, and taunted with racist epithets and anti-Hindu stereotypes by another customer waiting in line inside a Taco Bell.
