Indian-Origin Man's Racial Slur Video Sparks Outrage
A video of an Indian-origin man, identified as Stanley Thomas, has triggered widespread condemnation after he was recorded repeatedly using a racial slur against a Black woman.
Incident at Dallas Restaurant
The incident took place at Moxie's, a restaurant located in Dallas' Uptown neighborhood. In the video, Stanley Thomas boldly proclaims his frequent use of the N-word, even emphasizing its pronunciation.
Claim of African Ancestry
Thomas asserts that his Siddi ethnicity, a minority ethnic group in India with African roots, makes him "20% Black," which he believes justifies his use of the slur. The woman he was addressing filmed the encounter.
Employer Disavows Actions
Following the video's viral spread, Christus Health, a Texas-based Catholic healthcare nonprofit where Thomas worked, issued a statement disavowing his actions. The company stated that his behavior is not in line with their core values.
Social Media Backlash
The incident has sparked intense debate on social media regarding racial identity and the appropriateness of using offensive language.
