A North Texas woman will serve 40 days in jail after pleading guilty to charges related to a racially charged tirade she directed at a group of Indian American women two years ago. A now-viral video of the incident showed Esmeralda Upton of Plano mocking the group for their accents, referring to them as 'curry-ass bitches' and hurling punches.
Esmeralda Upton assaulted for Indian-American women in the parking lot of a Plano restaurant on Aug. 24, 2022.
Upton will serve her time at the Collin County jail on weekends beginning July 19 under a plea deal struck with the county's district attorney's office, according to the law firm. Even so, the judge warned Upton that if she turns up late, even once, her time will be served consecutively. "I hate you fucking Indians," Upton can be heard saying in the two-and-a-half-minute clip."We don't want you here."
"I no longer feel safe even when talking with friends in a public area," Chatterjee said, directly addressing Upton."You've affected my ability to just live a normal life and experience those normal moments of enjoyment without fear or worry."
