In the past few years, there have been recurring incidents of racial discrimination in Western countries against Asians.
Earlier this month, Hardeep Grewal, an Ontario lawmaker, allegedly faced a racial attack when two men targeted him for his turban and Indian ethnicity.
Grewal shared his experience on X account. He revealed that it was not first time he faced such a situation. “It is not the first time this has happened, but today I feel compelled to speak out about how exhausting and painful it is. Today in downtown Muskoka, while sharing ice cream with my family, two strangers decided to share their hate instead,” he wrote.
"Hey turban head, go home," one of the strangers said. Meanwhile, another man said, "You all should die.”
“In that moment, I was reminded that the fight against hate is far from over. But our strength is louder. Ontario is our home. It belongs to all of us. To my Sikh brothers and sisters, stay vigilant, stay proud, and stay strong. Hate never wins. Good will always triumph,” he added.
Recently, the Peel Regional Police (PRP)arrested 29-year-old Freda Looker-Rilloraza for allegedly painting racist graffiti, "Indian rats," near a park in Mississauga. The PRP also formed a centralised Hate Crime Unit amid the rising cases of racial abuse.
