'Leave Him Alone!': White woman defends racist harassment of Indian worker in Canada

A video of a white woman defending an Indian Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) supervisor from racist harassment in Canada has gone viral, sparking a debate about racism and solidarity.

The clip, shared on X by @KantInEastt, shows the woman stepping in to stop the abuse, firmly telling the harasser to "Leave him alone!" When the abuser claims it's a free country and he can take videos, she pushes back, "That's so unnecessary. He is working! Get out of his face."

Despite the TTC supervisor's attempts to calm her down, she continues to defend him, even revealing, "My boyfriend is Indian".

The video has garnered nearly a million views, with many praising the woman's bravery. Some users, however, have reacted with mixed feelings, with one commenting on the unexpected twist of her revealing her boyfriend's Indian heritage. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of racism faced by Indians in Canada, with some users sharing their own experiences of facing racial taunts.

"Racism just brings out human insecurity so cleanly. They don't like it when one community does better and turns to racism. Just be better at what you're supposed to be," one user wrote.

Another reacted, "The guy recording is a total loser. No courage to even show his face. Imagine being so pathetic that you go around hunting for someone to be racist with. Sad.”
