Texas Governor Candidate Sparks Outrage with Anti-India Remarks

Kelly Smith, a Texas woman running for Governor, has sparked outrage by mocking Indians and claiming to have adopted an Indian name, 'Pria', as a joke. In a social media post, Smith posted a photo of herself in Indian attire, stating she would eat hamburgers at a temple and wear shoes, saying she is 'just as Indian' as others.

Smith's post was met with criticism from the Indian community, with many expressing offense at her remarks. She responded by saying that Texans feel disrespected by Indians not respecting their culture, and that the presence of Indian stores and businesses in Texas is 'insulting'.

Smith, a write-in candidate for the Governor election, has a fundraiser campaign with only 14 donations so far. Despite the long odds of her campaign, she has gained attention on social media by spreading anti-India hatred.

The Indian community in Texas has been targeted in the past, and Smith's remarks have added to the existing tensions. The election authorities have not commented on Smith's candidacy or her remarks.

The Governor election in Texas is scheduled to take place in November, and Smith's campaign is expected to face significant challenges. The Indian community is likely to continue to speak out against Smith's remarks, and the incident may have further repercussions in the coming days.
