In this era of social media, where the hunger for online clout drives many to cross the line of decency, some resort to controversy purely for fame. A recent incident involving a British youth of African descent has sparked fierce debate about racism and religious intolerance online.
A shocking video has surfaced showing the young man eating KFC chicken inside ISKCON’s Govinda restaurant in London—a strictly vegetarian establishment. The footage captures him brazenly offering chicken to patrons and staff while being filmed, deliberately causing discomfort.
In the clip, the youth first politely confirms with staff that the restaurant serves only vegetarian food. Then, without hesitation, he pulls out a KFC chicken bucket and begins eating it.
A visibly stunned female staff member asks, “Are you eating chicken?” When he smirks and admits it, she firmly tells him to leave: “Go outside, please.” Another man intervenes, reminding him that meat is not allowed on the premises. Ignoring them, the youth takes another defiant bite.
He then walks into the dining area, where other customers are quietly enjoying their meals, and offers them chicken. One woman calmly points out that his actions violate their religious ethics.
The video spread like wildfire, with outraged netizens condemning his behaviour and questioning his motives.
One user wrote, “I hope a complaint was filed with the police. Whether he can be arrested or not, this is pure hatred towards Hindus. He knew they wouldn’t retaliate—that’s why he had the audacity to do something so vile.”
Another user said, “Why didn’t they call the police? The staff just smiled. If you won’t stand up for yourselves, don’t expect others to help.”
A third added, “Deliberately violating cultural and religious norms like this is blatant intolerance. No civilised society should tolerate it.”
A fourth commented, “This African-British man walked into Govinda’s—fully aware it’s vegetarian—asked if they served meat, then pulled out his KFC box. He chewed loudly, offered chicken to others, and turned the place into a nightmare. What do we call this? Racism? Hinduphobia? Would he dare do this in a Muslim-owned restaurant? Bring pork chops, eat them there, and offer them around? We all know the answer. There’d be global outrage. But when Hindus are targeted? Silence.”
"That is a vile thing to do," wrote another user.
