'You Can't Afford Me': Indian YouTuber Paramvir Sharply Responds To Racist 7-Eleven Taunt During Livestream Encounter In Los Angeles - WATCH
An attempt by a group of men to mock Indian YouTuber Passenger Paramvir and his friend with a racist stereotype reportedly ended with the men becoming the target of a sharp comeback. Paramvir said he was walking with his friend in Los Angeles when the group approached them and initially started a seemingly normal conversation. His friend struggled to understand where the conversation was heading…
An encounter between Indian YouTuber Passenger Paramvir and a group of men in Los Angeles resulted in an unexpected turn of events. The men began by engaging in a normal conversation with Paramvir and his friend, but shifted to a racially insensitive question. One of the men asked if they worked at a 7-Eleven store, a stereotype often directed at South Asians and other brown individuals in the United States.
Paramvir recognized the implication of the question and explained that it was a common racial slur used against people of South Asian and other brown backgrounds. The exchange then became more confrontational when one of the men claimed to own multiple 7-Eleven stores and offered Paramvir a job for $12 an hour. Instead of accepting the insult, Paramvir responded with a sharp comeback, telling the man that he couldn't afford him and suggesting he use the $12 to buy a real chain instead of the fake one he was wearing.
The interaction turned out to be a reverse-troll, catching the men off guard and resulting in an awkward moment for all involved. Paramvir later shared the full encounter on his YouTube channel, using it to shed light on the racial stereotype behind the 7-Eleven question and explain his interpretation of the group's comments.
