A video has been going viral online, where an Indian-origin woman describes a racist encounter she had at a music festival in Albania. Pranoti Kshirsagar, a Germany-based scientist, explained that the incident happened at a concert for American singer Jason Derulo in Tirana. Expressing her frustration, she sarcastically said, "I feel very welcome, Albania. Great job! Thank you so much."
Woman Told To "Go Back To Own Country"
Kshirsagar shared a video on TikTok, describing her unfortunate experience as a tourist in Albania. Her video was shared with X, where she can be heard saying, "I was waiting in line, and a group of four girls just came up, cut the line, and when I pointed it out, they repeatedly told me to go back to my country."
Kshirsagar added that the girls repeatedly mocked her using racial remarks. "They laughed about it, called me their mother, and made other remarks," she said. She concluded the short video by sarcastically remarking that she felt very welcome in the Balkan country. The video has around 2.5 million views on X.
While many netizens slammed the racism that Kshirsagar faced, many others portrayed a similar intolerant behaviour towards her. While one wrote, "Albania is one of the most racist countries in the world.", another said, "Go back, please! Help out your own communities rather than coming and destroying ours!"
