Indian YouTuber Paramvir Singh Beniwal allegedly faced racism during his recent trip to Las Vegas. He documented his interaction with two men who offered him a job while speaking with him in a mocking tone. The video also captured Beniwal’s reaction to the incident.
On September 22, the YouTuber shared a video which captures his trip to the “Entertainment Capital of the World” Las Vegas. In the video, he showed around the casinos, explained more about the local lifestyle, and interacted with others.

While filming his trip, he was suddenly approached by two men. One of them introduced the other and said that the man owns 73 7-Eleven stores across the country. He then offered Beniwal a job as a cashier.
Beniwal later said the men approached him and his friend with racism in their minds. Beniwal said his friend Vikram, who was there with him, initially failed to understand why the interaction was racist. Beniwal explained how it was a hurtful racist remark.
“They call us 7-11 as mostly Indians work as cashiers in those stores but it was not a funny, casual exchange but a racist attack.”
The YouTuber, instead of backing down, asked the man how much they earn. When one of them answered “a lot”, he shut down the trolls by saying “Next time invest the money in a real chain, instead of a fake one”, referring to a necklace the man was wearing.
Beniwal said the men were livestreaming him and were making some racist content. After the confrontation, however, they kept on saying “Don’t, don’t, don’t”.
He shared the video as part of his 57-minute YouTube clip. The alleged racist interaction takes place in the video around 32:20 minutes.
How did social media react?
An individual wrote, “He couldn’t digest the fact that an Indian roasted him while he was streaming him.” Another commented, “Perfect advice, bro. Dil jeet liya. Whenever I also go out of India, I always stay positive and when bullies come to me, I stay firm and walk away without taking any abuse. They then go away. I represent India well by doing my work well, helping others, staying fresh, wearing good clothes and speaking decently.”
