When Sikh Professor's Mum Found Out Her Son Was Receiving Racist Threats She Responded Excellently

IANS, 08 Dec, 2017 01:11 PM

    Be it in our daily lives or on social media, people around us continue to be at the receiving end of hatred and discrimination. So was Simran Jeet Singh, a Sikh professor of religion at Trinity University. But instead of responding to hate with more hate, it is his mother’s funny comeback that has won hearts on Twitter.

     

    According to his tweet that has gone viral on the micro-blogging site, Singh’s mother just joined Twitter and noticed that her son was getting racist messages like “go home” and “go back to where (you) came from.”

     

    Her response? “My mom just joined Twitter and saw all the racist messages where people tell me to “go home” and “go back to where I came from.” She wanted me to thank you all. She really wants me to move back to Texas,” he tweeted.

     
     
     

    After the tweet went viral, Twitter users bombarded him with invites to their homes and cities as a response to the racist messages he was getting otherwise.
