An Indian-origin man was trolled and asked to go back to India after he posted a picture of his girlfriend voting in the Virginia referendum.

An Indian-origin man named Krishna Patel faced severe trolling after posting a picture of his girlfriend voting ‘yes’ in the Virginia redistricting elections. The result of the referendum was in favor of the Democrats but a court has now ruled the referendum illegal.However, the picture provoked a section of social media users who asked how a Patel could vote in the elections. “You are an Indian foreigner who shouldn’t even be here and definitely shouldn’t vote,” one wrote.Patel responded that he was born in America and that even his parents, but not his grandparents, were immigrants. “I am a natural-born citizen of the United States, born and raised in Orange County, California. My grandparents came to our great country as immigrants, worked hard for years, and became naturalized American citizens. “I may not have white skin, but I’m an American.”The war of words continued with Patel taking on his trolls. He wrote, “I was born in Orange County, California. I am as American as Ronald Reagan. My loyalty lies entirely with the United States of America.” She responded to another hater, “Want to see my passport? My REAL ID? Those were rhetorical questions – I’m sure you’re one of those idiots who thinks President Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii.”When a social media user speculated that he was Muslim, Patel said, “I am an atheist from a Hindu family, born in Orange County, California.”One comment said, “Birthright citizenship will be lost. You will be deported back to India. You are the enemy of free white people in America. Your girlfriend is a traitor to our people.”“You can say it’s racism, but that’s just Americans being real. Is it okay for you (or your family) to immigrate here, not assimilate, and then arrogantly take away representation from Americans whose families have lived here for hundreds of years? How would you feel if some Africans asked that some people do the same in India?” Read another comment.
