An Indian man was racially abused in Poland, with a video of the same going viral. He was called “parasite”, “invader”, and someone committing “genocide”, besides being asked to “go back to your country”, by a man who’s allegedly American.
The individual keeps filming the Indian despite him being uncomfortable, saying that he can film the man in his country, and identifying as a European.
While the Indian’s identity and the city where the video was shot, both remain unclear, those on Twitter have been tagging Warsaw Police.
In the video, the man keeps following the Indian, who seems to be pacing in front of a mall. “I am from America. And in America…there’s too many of you guys here. So why are you in Poland? Why are you here? Do you think you can just invade Poland? Why don’t you return to your own country?”, the individual behind the camera asks.

“Why are your people invading our homelands? You have India! Why are you coming to the white man’s land to take off from our hard work? Why don’t you build your own country? Why are you being a parasite? You are genociding our race. You are an invader. Go home, invader. We don’t want you in Europe. Poland for Polish only. You are not Polish”, added the man who was filming.

There’s no news on when this incident took place or what led to the filming. However, Indians on social media have labelled it a “shameful display of racism”, with one person commenting, “I think Indian Embassy In Warsaw Poland should come forward to help this Indian man. Polish govt. make them arrest.”
The incident comes on the heels of a group of Indian-American women being threatened and racially abused by a Mexican in Texas, in the US.
