Videos of four Indian-American women being racially abused by a Mexican-American woman in Texas, US, have created a storm on social media.

The Mexican-American woman, identified as Esmeralda Upton, is seen hurling racist slurs at the Indian-origin women stating that they are "ruining" America and should "go back to India".

The incident occurred on Wednesday night at a parking lot in Dallas, Texas.

"I hate you Indians. All these Indians come to America because they want a better life," Upton says in the video. "Everywhere I go, you Indians are everywhere," she is seen screaming in the video. "If life was so great in India, why are you here," she shouted and inserted insulting words.

She suddenly started assaulting the four Indian women, as shown in the video.
