Asian Community Concerned following Racist Rant

PLANO (WBAP/KLIF) – Anti-hate groups in Collin County are demanding change after a racist rant directed at a group of Indian women went viral.

During an anti-hate rally over the weekend in downtown Plano local groups like the NAACP, the Collin County Democratic party and others said anti-Asian rhetoric won’t be tolerated.

“This is not new to me,” said an Indian woman who moved to Collin County over two decades ago. “I’ve always thought something like this was going to happen in the public, even though I’ve seen it before.”

The Texas chapter of ‘South Asian-American Voter Empowerment’ praised the quick arrest of the woman in the video who now faces potential hate crime charges. Rally organizers said that the anti-Asian sentiment in Collin County is nothing new but seems to be on the rise.
