Toronto, Ontario: A video posted by an Indian woman living in Canada has sparked widespread discussion on social media after she highlighted the racist abuse she receives online. Shikha, the woman behind the viral clip, is seen dancing confidently despite a barrage of offensive comments from anonymous users, many of whom she notes act friendly in person. In her caption, she questions whether she should continue exposing such hate, asserting that these "faceless comments" won’t discourage her from expressing herself freely online.

In the video, Shikha lists ten racist remarks directed at her, including derogatory phrases such as “Go back to your own country,” “You guys stink,” and “Deport these freeloading creatures.” Other comments include slurs and cultural jabs like “Get a deodorant first” and “Go to Tim Hortons, you’ll feel at home.” The video’s comment section has since become a space for mixed reactions—some users condemned the hate, while others shared their own positive experiences with Canadian multiculturalism.

The post also reignited a broader conversation about racism in Canada. While many Canadians expressed support for Shikha and condemned the online abuse, others emphasized that such experiences, though unfortunate, do not reflect the country’s overall inclusive atmosphere. Adding to the discourse, another Indian woman living near Toronto recently shared similar stories of subtle discrimination, such as repeated ID checks and unwelcoming gestures in public spaces, underscoring the nuanced challenges immigrants still face.
