An influencer known as Pigeon Vizion recently shared a video on Instagram, showcasing what he called the “most Indian place in America.” In the video, he highlighted a street full of Indian restaurants such as Indian Masala, Urban Tadka, Pakora Indian Eatery, and more. He claimed the area was in Dallas, Texas. However, viewers quickly corrected him, pointing out that the location featured is actually Irving, Texas, not Dallas.
The video quickly went viral on social media, amassing over 32,000 likes and more than 2,500 comments on Instagram alone. The post sparked a lively discussion online, with many users defending the Indian community and emphasizing their positive impact on local culture and the economy.
Comments flooded in, praising Indians as being kind and hardworking. “The Indian people are some of the nicest people in and around Dallas,” one user remarked. Others noted that most major U.S. cities have culturally rich neighborhoods, such as Little Italy or Chinatown, and saw no reason to treat the Indian community any differently.
One commenter pointed out that although Indians make up only 1% of the U.S. population, their average household income is nearly double that of the national average. Many noted that they contribute significantly to the economy through spending and taxes. Another user humorously criticized the influencer for complaining about meeting only Indians at an Indian restaurant.
Overall, the video opened up dialogue about diversity and cultural presence in American cities, with many defending and applauding the contributions of Indian-Americans across the country.
