So embarrassing to see fellow Indians behaving this way. The other immigrant groups are also doing their own s&!t. This is so wrong, discourteous and the sense of entitlement is so misplaced. As human being we should respect the host culture and not behave like aspiring neo-colonizers. Add value to places that you call home and become an unobtrusive part of the mosaic. Those of us who say this, face hate from our own!😢

OK....... SO THIS DUDE ISN'T IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR A WEEK, AND HE'S PICKING FIGHTS WITH EVERYONE. INCLUDING SEVERAL ALLIES. I'M SURE THIS WILL HELP THOUGH RIGHT? GREAT JOB MAN, DEFINATELY A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ALL TO SEE, REFLECTING ON MANY AMERICANS. THIS IS AWESOME. THE MOST SELFISH, IMMATURE, IDIOTIC, SELF ABSORBED, NARCISSISTIC, ARROGANT, DULL , SMALL MINDED PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN IN GOVERNMENT PERIOD. ME, AND MANY OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS ARE BESIDE OURSELVES WITH EMBARRASSMENT. NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF HIM, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF OUR MANY WAYWARD FELLOW AMERICAN ADULT CHILDREN VOTING FOR THIS TRAIN WRECK. JUST SUPER STUPID. I MEAN, UNBELIEVABLE STUPIDITY.

I'm embarrassed by my fellow Indian countrymen at different international airports to see their crude behavior....we can blame religious backgrounds too...

As an indian, residing in india, but having been there on a vacation, every comment here only speaks volumes of truth. Its embarrassing and disgusting to see fellow indians behave in this appalling manner. Worst is to see them do this nonsense of protesting. Majority Indians share the same opinions as you all do. They should be sent back.

I am an Indian and I am disgusted to see what fellow Indians have done to Canada! They come here with their total lack of civic sense! I was born and raised in Calcutta as we navigated daily through filth and dirt on the streets - not only because of the poor on the street - but bec of everyone else who walks around and thinks nothing of throwing their garbage on the streets, spitting and blowing their noses on the streets and even in buildings - stairway landings, or peeing in the open - in public spaces or against building walls, etc.. Narcissistic, selfish drivers who cut people off, break the traffic rules, grab parking spots, etc.. They come here and make every effort to Indianize Canada - to make this into India instead of respecting this country that has generously and (ignorantly!!) allowed them in!! If they want to live their Indian culture in an 'Indian environment' - then for goodness sake - GO BACK TO INDIA and clean up that country your call your 'matri bhoomi' - your Mother!! The presenter is right - Indians (and Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis too included here - all with the same mentality!) have dragged down the customer service experience in stores and restaurants. Indians are usually polite but they are not good at maintaining a high standard of customer service! Employees in Walmart, Costco, Tim Hortons (especially!), etc., are seen standing around, chatting with each other in their Indian languages instead of being professionally attentive to customers. The shopping experience is not pleasant like it was 25 years ago!! Your remarks are not harsh and Indians NEED to take it personally and be embarrassed into doing the necessary to make the changes they need to. We immigrated to Canada not to come to 'another India' - we came to Canada and would like to live in this country to appreciate it's uniqueness and contribute to maintaining it the way it has been! The presenter has done a good job with this video. Very fair. The highly ignoramus Liberal Government leader with his Indian goons in tow - esp that sell-out NDP leader whose support of Trudope has gotten us in such a mess in this country - are totally to blame!! Indians need to have some self respect and like you said - see themselves as ambassadors of India abroad and present themselves with dignity worthy of respect!! Look at the state of India - with all the money and tech and education for urban dwellers and the elite, the country still wallows in filth and the poor continue to suffer great poverty while the rich get richer and call it karma when the poor suffer - while not lifting a finger to alleviate their poverty..... izzath ka saval hai (matter of respect! - greatly valued!!) - is only personal and selfish and related to one's own family and status - to hell with the rest of the country and people!! They brag about the lavish living of the Ambanis and Goenkas, etc - while the world sees the social injustice and gross disparity born of self-indulgence, selfishness and greed that is at the heart of Indian life in India!
