#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #Texas #Racist
glad it was investigated as a hate crime.
Another Karen just ruined her life. Lol.
The thing is, America isn’t native to a person like Esmarelda either….
Most of the reporters on NBC should be arrested for Fake News. This lady was wrong but not even in the ballpark of terrorist threat. The protests that happened in 2020 was a bit closer to terrorism. Also the Liberal Media who glorifies defund the police is a bit more dangerous than this woman.
I’m Mexican-American and I DO NOT approve this biggoted woman’s message! SMUCFH! (So Much Un-Called For Hate!)
This always happens in india and nobody gets arrested 🤣🤣🤣🤣, atleast she is arrested in usa
Agree as an indian. Atleast she is arrested foe hate crime. In india no one will bat an eye 😁
Absolutely appalling. She needs to get control of herself. She definitely needs anger management classes.
Is her name,”Karen” ?
Some people only speak English in their own home. Respect is earned not gained. Why is it ok to enforce other peoples language on other people. That is RUDE what about other peoples rights. The sound of other languages is not music to ear So is it racism NO.
As a Mexican, we don’t claim her
That lady was wrong hitting other people. Of course that is not acceptable behavior.
This woman needs to get herself deported back to Europe, or wherever her ancestors came from 😅
If this is her view on Indian origin people living in USA, then she has no right to call herself American.
Karens are evolving. Hairstyle is different. More skinny. Perfect jawline. More violent.
It’s not racist if you hate everyone.
LEARN TO ASSIMILATE
Thank God
What a hypocrite! We all know how much Texas loves Mexicans.
Watch moronic CNN say shes a Trumper
Only racist to peaceful brown hindu Indians?
Indians are everywhere? Indians are only 1% of U.S population.
https://youtube.com/shorts/l3ZZIdvhpWI?feature=share
They’re annoying cause they dont tip lol but yeah this was unacceptable
Colorism is real, she is a white Mexican woman who is looking down on darker skinned Indian women. Black women understand this, be aware it’s about color not class.
How absolutely disgusting!
Indians everywhere 😂
Maybe now she will be charged for hate crime and got convicted. If she get deported back where she from and that’s ironic for telling the Indian Americans to go back where they come from 😂
Trump and Murdoch have emboldened people like never before
I Mexican nothing. I don’t even eat Mexican food anymore. I wish these Mexicans would go home. Mexico is like that next door neighbor thats always in your front yard for some Unknown reason
The fact that she is also a person of colour is so sad I hate seeing a marginalised person hate on another marginalised person.
PROTO KAREN
Lots of this going on nowadays.
She’s as Mexican as Rachel rays tacos !🌮
Stop saying your Mexican because we not racist
Calm down people
I hate to say it but it’s true
Everybody comes here for the American dream but only to bring their say o ways that conflict with American values
Just look around at every blue state and then cuz the red states are in order and thriving u go their just to ruin it like u did before
So either change ur ways or don’t come here at all
#SecureOurBorders 🇺🇸
Are we at all surprised? They came and took the land I assume she believes it’s hers only
Lol same exact thing happens here in India everyday
What, you have not seen yet is the hatefulness of violence they will unleash the mob of the blood thirsty and Un- challenged killers,that is the going to be the day your world will CHANGE!
An arrest couldn’t be made without an investigation??
Isn’t every time that police respond to an incident considered to be an investigation?
And to top it off, all the officer had to do was use the same video that he watched on the scene as the equivalent of witnessing the actual crime instead of waiting on the video to go viral online…. They really didn’t want any parts of arresting this woman.
Sounds about Tex-Mex
As an outsider looking at this apart from Indians every single ethinic group whether its black americans, latin, french, Italians etc have a representation as a community in the states.
Indians will literally look at a fellow Indian getting harrased in public and they will just walk past by as if they don’t even care. If this would have happen to any other community there would have been protests on the streets and the leaders of that community would have taken up this issue in public.
Almost all the big tech Giants have Indian Ceos but none of them bring up the issue of Indians facing Racism in America because they are more concerned about their Job, public image and financial security.
A Mexican woman who is assaulting and verbally abusing 3 non white women. Crazy cow.
So it be okay to do it to whtye w0men? Why single them out?
Minority on minority abuse, how sad and depressing. Some people forget where they come from. I hope she suffers and learns from her mistake, and that it teaches the value of love and understanding to all.
She is f! 😂
Yes Karen you will pay a price for ignorance. Next time the people might just rise up and kick your butt!
God will punish all racists
A lot of Mexicans identify as “white” hence the entitled, racist attitude towards the Indian lady
I don’t get it, she’s a brown as those indian ladies
Stop the white lies.
She was arrested late due to her complexion. This is the American way and why this way is dying.
Huh Mexican 🤔.
I’m just waiting for the apology tour
So sad very sad. We need to respect every race this is 🇺🇸everybody’s welcome only if your respectful and kind to others. That’s what makes 🇺🇸🙏🏻 beautiful we have everyone.
Nah. Not any Mexican person. Not “any Mexican person” from Rita Niter. /
Nah. Not disturbed. Not “disturbed.” /
She’s living both sides of coin, now that’s rare.
POS
Now I hate America . I thought USA is the only country where people can live freely, But Now I realized that USA is also same as other countries….
Indian people taste their own medicine. They are racists too. They treat their lower caste hindus very bad and called them untouchable. And are killing Muslims over suspicion that they are consuming beef
Where did you hear this.?
Ohhhh maybe you are against indian. 🙄
Yay!!! Jail her!
Upton last name is not Mexican falsifying her origin on video of heritage. So this person is starting a defamation against another culture. Starting hate between two ethnicities. This is a hate crime. This is staged from the Qnon. Trust ✌️
Pretty reasonable sentiment expressed by the Mexican lady. She is upset with foreigners encroaching on her territory. Keep in mind that indian people have a very foreign culture and religion that is totally out of place in the western hemisphere. It is totally predictable that everyday people will occasionally express discomfort with the out of control lack of concern for cultural cohesion being expressed by political, corporate and media elites. I think north and south America should keep to European, west African, and Amerindian ethnicities instead of importing so many strange people so quickly
Get out while you’re still can
Me too seeing Indians everywhere. Coz I am in India.
I hope they sort things out easily 🙂
This ocuured in Texas and we should all know by now that Texas is one of the most racist states in USA, by the way very interesting cause i do not know what Texas does to the Latino comunity there but i can asure you all that 90% of Latino American Texans are racist Trump supporters., why?, that i do not know i can not understand why why the minds of the Latino Americans in that state are so ignorant., Anyways., Facts.
Black people go through this everyday!
Throw the book at her !!!! It hurts me!
Buena buena Mexican American 🤣🤣🤣
Who all came here after watching the full video from a YouTube channel “KARENS in the WILD”?
I know her mexican mother and mexican grandmother are extremely disappointed in her. I’m sure at some point in their lives they they have been discriminated.
She is one of those Mexicans pro Trump, they told me myself go back to Mexico and I was listening to Italian song 🤣🤣
Hello 👋
If only the Indian woman had a slipper…
Disgusting..
Omg this is so sad. I’m sorry to the three beautiful ladies. The attacker is a drunken old bitter thing
Even In December I invested 700$ in
Bestbitcoininvestors”,”, investments and
now I just received 5000$ in rewards… is
simple incredible and we are only at the
beginning. Best investment ever B)
White privilege ,one of you ladies should have whooped her as_,that would have been a bonus 👍🏽
It’s time to leave USA
she has a gun every taxes people have their own gun you see she is taking out something from the behd
Sorry woman we indians gonna be around. We are the oldest civilization around. Accept it. 🙄
Fake news. She wasn’t arrest for a racist rant. Racist rants are 100% legal. She was arrested for assault.
What is wrong w people!?!?
How does this women think she is so entitled?
Racism is about fear. Fearing that the other race will take over.
Where’s the part of the video where she threatened to shoot one of the ladies???? She put her hand in her purse and told one lady she would shoot her! Where is that part of the video?
The only thing worse than this womans rant are some of the thoughtless comments here.
Unless you are native American you are an immigrant to the US too. And if you still feel privileged than you are a racist bigot, who can not appreciate the diversity of ALL of creation.
Your ancestors are immigrants yet your yelling at others they should go back ……”why don’t you go back as well.”
This is the reality of America one of the biggest Racist country in the world it’s sad but true….!!! she forgot All the Tops American company’s CEO is Indians who’s run this Country’s economy…
I’m not saying every American peoples are racist but Americans hypocrisy is too much….
I am sorry but this lady has no right to attack another human being. The worst part is the fact she is saying she is mexican when they have also faced racism so she should be understanding. This is shameful and ignorant.
I love how so called white people say go back to where u came from .if that’s the case .all white people go back to Europe
This woman is an embarrassment to Mexicans. That type of behavior should not be tolerated
Why is everyone so hangry.lord have mercy on all of us.
This woman MUST be reprimanded & punished to the full extent of the law. This is NOT acceptable!!! NOT ACCEPTABLE!!
She will do it again. She has a lot of anger & rage. Individuals such as her turn into criminals. Who do she “think” she is? What right does she “think” she has?
STOP HER NOW!!
She’s an embarrassment to society!!!
STOP HER NOW!!!
And I bet she voted for Hillary!
🤣😂 she has lost her mind but I am not surprised.
Did I just hear her name is Esmeralda? 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽😅😅😅
She said it load and clear she hates Indians,what a shame this old woman.
get me one serena, 100% serena,
Lowlife Latino Karen forgot where and who she really is..
As a social political experiment I would love to see what party all these viral racists belong to.
