'You're Disgusting': Indian-American Arrested For Racist Attack On Another Indian In US

In another case of blatant racism in the USA, an Indian American was arrested in California for a racial attack on another Indian national at a Taco Bell restaurant. The accused was caught on camera screaming racist vulgarities and spitting on the victim, Krishnan Jayaraman.

The incident occurred on August 21. Jayaraman filed a complaint with Fremont police, and soon, Tejinder Singh, 37, was arrested.

This comes just days after a Mexican-American woman was arrested in Texas for a racial attack on four Indian-American women.

The eight-minute video Jayaram uploaded to Twitter and YouTube shows Singh calling Jayaram names and even mocking him for ordering a bean burrito.

I know I had mentioned "8 minutes" but the original video I had posted was just 6 minutes. Here is the full video, please watch it till the end and that should answer all your questions now.https://t.co/Ohhincokao

Jayaram stated that the video he uploaded only included the final 8 minutes of the 15-minute racial attack.

"Hey, pick up your bean burrito and leave. You're a vegetarian, right? " You don't eat beef," he could be heard screaming in the video before announcing loudly that he wanted a beef burrito.

Additionally, Singh condemns Jayaram for not wearing socks at one point, stating,

"Maybe wear some socks. Nobody wants to see your ugly a** feet. You're disgusting. You people are f***ing ugly. You're disgusting and nasty. You're a disgusting dog, seriously."

He then starts spitting at Jayaram before continuing with his rant.

Singh, who identified himself as Indian in a Daily Mail article, "Asian/Indian," was also heard saying in the video: "B****, this ain't India! You f***ed India up, and now you're f***ing America up."

Jayaram expressed his gratitude for the police's assistance on Twitter and said the man had even spit on the counter where the food was being served.

Grateful for the @FremontPD to come to the rescue from a racist abuser at @tacobell Fremont! The part that sucked was that the abuser spit on the counter where food was being served and despite pointing that out, the Taco Bell employees continued serving the food on it.

"The part that sucked was that the abuser spits on the counter where food was being served, and despite pointing that out, the Taco Bell employees continued serving the food on it," he tweeted.

According to reports, Singh was charged with a hate crime in violation of civil rights, assault, and disturbing the peace by offensive language, the police said.

Taco Bell, meanwhile, released a statement stating that the company is aware of the situation. Condemning the behavior in the video, "troubling, upsetting, and inconsistent with the brand's inclusive values to respect and welcome customers of all backgrounds."

In a similar incident last week, a Mexica-American woman was for hitting four Indian-American women in a suburban Dallas parking lot. Esmeralda Upton, 58, was charged with a misdemeanor, assault, and terroristic threat.

In a viral video showing her attacking a group of Indian-American women, Upton is heard yelling at the women and demanding them to return to India.
