Did man abuse the couple?

After listening to the couple, the man in the car then responds aggressively and said, "No, we don't want you here. You have to go home. Get the f*** out of my country."

The video clearly shows the man continuing to use abusive language. Despite this, the Indian couple remains calm throughout, avoiding any arguments or fighting. People on social media are praising the couple's patience and understanding.

How are people reacting?

After the video went viral, thousands of people expressed their opinions on the incident. Many users said that the couple handled the situation intelligently and did not react angrily like the other person. Some, meanwhile, believe that remaining silent in such situations is wrong, as it can encourage those who harbor racist views. Many also said that people who come to America do so legally and with visas, so it is wrong to insult someone in this manner.

Following this incident, questions have also been raised on social media about videos and content targeting Indians. Some users tagged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, demanding action on this matter.
