Concerns of ‘hateful racism’ after Ontario man’s video of woman ranting about people from India goes viral
A Waterloo, Ont., man is speaking out after his video of a woman ranting about the South Asian community went viral.
Ashwin Annamalai said he used his cellphone to record the woman after she gave him the middle finger, an action he said was unprovoked, while he was out for a walk on Tuesday evening.
Annamalai said that after he confronted the woman to ask what he had done to deserve the gesture, she went on about how Indian people are invading Canada.
The once welcoming community of Kitchener-Waterloo has seen a disturbing rise in hate, particularly against people of colour. Here’s a personal account of what I experienced today: A random woman gave me the finger & spewed hate while I was out for a walk at Erb/Avondale 1/n pic.twitter.com/TxvXeXW3Yd

He is a former “international student” who seems locked on to the diversity gravy train.
