A video shared by RTN Canada on X shows an unidentified man in Canada targeting a group of young people, believed to be students, with racist remarks. The group was standing on the roadside with their luggage, apparently waiting for a taxi, when the man began filming them without their consent.
The man begins the video by saying, “Okay, refugees are from India. This is Justin Trudeau’s reign. There’s a lot of Indians.” He walks around the group, zooms in on their luggage, and says, ” Most of them are Indian. They are Indian,” he continued to mock them. Thank you, Justin Trudeau. ”
The students felt uncomfortable and largely avoided interacting with the man, but one responded with a polite smile. The text of the video reads, “Where are the white people in Canada?”
It remains unconfirmed whether the people photographed were actually Indian immigrants. However, the video sparked a strong reaction, with more than 1 million views and many condemning the blatant racism.
Watch the video:
The man who records Indian immigration to Canada and insults them is a foreigner himself 😕 pic.twitter.com/RC2kJbUHpg

“They’re not refugees. They’re students who paid a lot of money to go there,” one user wrote. Another user said: “They paid for university to study and came with the right visa so why are they refugees? This is complete nonsense.”
A third user commented: “I don’t condone his actions, but I understand what triggered it.” Downtown Toronto currently doesn’t look much like New Delhi, and that’s no exaggeration. Unchecked immigration from India is rapidly changing the makeup of Canada, and Canada needs to remain multicultural, not Indian. ”
The X account posted another video in the comments section showing the same man confronting a couple in a food court.

In the video, he films an “Indian” couple having a meal and verbally abuses them while they choose to ignore him.
