US comedian and conservative YouTuber Alex Stein has come under fire after mocking Hindu beliefs during a Plano City Council meeting in Texas, prompting several Indian-American attendees to walk out in protest. Reported by Hindustan Times.
Stein arrived at the meeting dressed in a yellow kurta, black shorts, slippers and a red tilak.
Speaking in an exaggerated accent, he introduced himself as a “young Indian boy” from the “holy land of India far, far away,” before making remarks targeting Hindu traditions.
During his address, Stein repeatedly mocked Hindu reverence for cows, stating, “cow is divine mother… her urine, gomutra, is the purest form of medicine… and her dung, gobar, is holy gold.” His comments appeared to cause visible discomfort in the chamber and drew immediate anger from members of the Indian-American community present.
As the speech continued, several attendees stood up and walked out mid-meeting, describing the remarks as offensive and deliberately provocative.
Those who remained expressed disapproval over what they saw as caricaturing and disrespect of religious beliefs.
Video clips of the incident quickly circulated online. One clip shared on X carried the caption, “Young Indian boy begs the Mayor of Plano for help, stop the attacks from the Muslim Brotherhood and his HOA association.”
During the same address, Stein shifted to US politics, thanking President Donald Trump for appointing FBI Director Kash Patel and claiming the Indian-American community was “proud” of the move.
He also made an aside about Patel’s personal life, referencing his relationship with country music singer Alexis Wilkins and joking about wanting an “authentic Indian marriage.”
The remarks sparked strong reactions on social media.
“Alex Stein drops a racist video targeting Indians and people laugh it off like it’s normal. Racism against Indians has become mainstream on this platform. And pretending it’s harmless is exactly how it spreads,” one user wrote.
“Disgraceful and hateful mocking of Hindus in Plano, Texas by failed comedian Alex Stein. This is NOT funny,” commented another.
