Another shocking instance of racism and Xenophobia against immigrants has come up, this time from Canada. A disturbing video of a violent attack against a brown man of alleged Indian origin is making rounds on social media.

In the Nov. 1 incident, a visibly intoxicated white male is seen grabbing him by the collar and slamming him against a wall, as onlookers recorded the incident. The incident allegedly occurred inside a McDonald's outlet in Canada.

The attacker, while queuing up at the counter, is seen walking towards the victim standing next to him and pushing him. The act of aggression sent the victim's phone flying.

As he calmly reached for his phone, the attacker lunged forward, seizing him by the collar and shoving him backward while shouting that he was "acting superior."

The man can be heard repeatedly urging the Toronto Blue Jays jacket wearing aggressor to let him go, without escalating the issue further. He even pointed out that the incident was being recorded on Camera, however, this had little effect on the aggressor.

The altercation ended after a McDonald’s employee stepped in, requesting the attacker to release the man and escorting him out of the restaurant. Even as he was being removed, the attacker continues to accuse the victim of being arrogant.
