Police in Texas arrested a Mexican-American woman today after a video of her assaulting and racially abusing a group of four Indian-American women went viral on social media.
This is so scary. She actually had a gun and wanted to shoot because these Indian American women had accents while speaking English.
Disgusting. This awful woman needs to be prosecuted for a hate crime. pic.twitter.com/SNewEXRt3z

The incident took place on Wednesday night in a parking lot in Dallas, Texas. The video shows the woman, identifying herself as a Mexican-American and aggressively abusing and assaulting a group of Indian-American women.
“I hate you Indians. All these Indians come to America because they want a better life,” the woman is seen saying in the video, while repeatedly using expletives.
The Mexican-American woman has been identified as Esmeralda Upton of Plano.
The Indian American women remain calm and are trying to avoid a confrontation. They repeatedly ask Plano to go back to her car.
However, the Mexican-American gets even more furious and starts slapping one of the Indian Americans while screaming expletives.
“Everywhere I go, you Indians are everywhere… If life was so great in India, why are you here,” Plano shouts.
Although Plano knows that the incident is being recorded she is not deterred and this only makes her angrier.
