Hate Crimes on Rise in US

The incident comes amid rising hate crimes in US. Recently, an Indian-American was racially abused by another Indian origin man in California who hurled racist slurs that he is a “dirty Hindu” and a “disgusting dog,”. Krishnan Jayaraman was verbally attacked by 37-year-old Tejinder Singh in the Taco Bell at Grimmer Boulevard in Fremont, California on August 21.

Prior to that four Indian-American women were racially abused and smacked by a Mexican-American woman in the US state of Texas who hurled racist slurs at them that they are “ruining” America and should “go back to India”. The incident took place in a parking lot in Dallas, Texas. The woman, identified as Esmeralda Upton, was arrested.
