Indians and Indian-descent Americans have been targeted for hateful comments and It's Business as Usual for
remarks and even violence. Srinivas Kuchibhotla, a computer engineer, was killed in Kansas Deverakonda

But the Monday incident in California is perhaps the first instance of an Indian-descent Pics: Swimsuit Glamour At
American being accused of committing a hate crime against another India-descent person. 40 Plus
Singh picked on the victim's religion, his country of birth and his people.

In a video recording of the incident, Singh is seen unloading himself on another customer, Charmme on Liger Failure:
who has self-identified himself as Krishnan Jayaraman at a Taco Bell restaurant in 'It's Depressing...'
California on Monday.

Singh repeatedly called him "dirty ass Hindu", "ugly ass Hindu" and frequently used the N- Rupee falls to record low
against US dollar
word. He switched to Punjabi to abuse Indira Gandhi, the Indian Prime Minister who was
assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards.

He mocked Jayaraman's order of "bean burritos", which are vegetarian, and the way he Indians Are Everywhere'
looked, and repeatedly pointed to his "open toes", calling him "disgusting".

"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 disgusting, dog, seriously," he
said.

Singh went on to tell Jayaraman that it were "you people" who were the "first to kneel" before
the East India Company, the English trading company that led to the colonisation of India by
the British for more than 200 years.

The man went on to disparage Jayaraman as one of those who came to the US on H-1B
visa, a short-term non-immigrant work visa that is issued for American companies to hire
foreign workers to make up for shortage of local hands in high specialty fields. The

programme has been held responsible by its critics for layoffs and the backlash has been
felt by Indians working here and Indian Americans at large.

"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,"
Jayaraman wrote in a post on twitter, in which he also thanked Fremont police for
responding.
The Fremont incident came close on the heels of another incident in which Indians or Indian
Americans were targets of hateful and abusive language.

"Go back to India, we don't want you here," a woman, who identified herself as Mexican-
American told a group of Indian Americans in Plano, Texas last Saturday.

She was arrested later. "This incident is a hate crime in accordance with Texas laws," the
Plano police said in a statement. "This incident may also be a hate crime based on federal
law, and we are working closely with the FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights
Division on this case."
