The ‘Indian American Impact’ said the attack was another in a series of hate crimes against Asians in the past two years, similar to the incident of Pramila Jayapal, the first Indian woman in Congress. Neil Makhija, executive director of Indian-American Impact, said Esmeralda Upton’s dangerous and violent feelings towards the South-Asian community should not be taken lightly. We are fortunate that the racial attack was caught on camera, but his show of hatred towards members of our community is worrying and unfortunately not uncommon.
