The Western YouTuber/influencer ecosystem has realised that the Indian audience are their biggest audience. Whether they spew hate or shower praise on India, the reactions are equally extreme – and the end result is engagement either way. With monetisation driving content incentives, it is easier to spread hate, indulge in Hinduphobia, and cash in on the criticism from Indians.
In that category, after Tyler Oliveira who vlogged about the cowdung festival in India generating several hate responses to Indian rituals, we have ‘comedian’ Alex Stein.
Alex Stein is a conservative YouTuber who delivered a speech at a Plano City Council meeting where he openly mocked Hindu religious beliefs during a public address. This prompted several Indian-American attendees to walk out in protest.
The incident occurred during a council session where residents are typically allowed to raise civic concerns. Instead, Stein used the public forum to stage a performance that many present described as ridiculing Hindu traditions and cultural practices.
Appearing before the council dressed in a yellow kurta, black shorts, slippers and a red tilak, Stein introduced himself in a caricatured accent as a “young Indian boy” from the “holy land of India far, far away.”
He then launched into remarks targeting Hindu reverence for cows, saying: “Cow is divine mother… her urine, gomutra, is purest medicine… and her dung, gobar, is holy gold.”
Continuing in the same tone, Stein said, “I like to drink and eat special stuff… I like the cow dung, it has healing properties.”
He framed the speech as a complaint to the council, claiming he was being “bullied” for his practices and asking whether authorities could stop him from “eating cow dung.”
Here is the transcript of the clipping he shared on his social media. He says, “Hello, honorable mayor of City Council. Good evening. My current situation is very, very bad. I am being bullied by the Muslim Brotherhood because I like to drink and eat special stuff that in your culture is not very respected, but in my culture, it has lots of healing properties. I want to say, I love Donald Trump for appointing Kash Patel as FBI director. He has beautiful, beautiful country music sensation as his future bride, and I hope one day to have an authentic Indian marriage and go to their ceremony. But I’m not here for that. I’m all the way from the holy land of India, very, very far away.”
He continues, “And as you may not know, or you may know, I worship cows. But cow is not no ordinary animal. No, no, no, cow is divine mother. Her milk is amrit, nectar from heaven. Her urine, gomutra, is purest medicine straight from the gods. Her dung, gobar, is holy gold, blessing for health and prosperity. But in this beautiful city of Plano, my HOA is behaving like total narcs, like big old demons, and now even worse, the Muslim Brotherhood in my neighborhood also bullying me non-stop. They come into my house knocking on my door, shouting at me, “Oh, stop drinking cow pee, stop, stop eating cow poop.” They’re saying my cow Lakshmi is haram. My holy practices is dirty, they think is dirty, me feed, file the complaints saying they will call the police on me, or more HOA will fine me and make my life hell. I’m asking you, please, mayor of city of Plano, is this not the land of free? Is this not the land of freedom of religion? Tyler Olivera made a video trying to come after my culture. I like the cow dung. I like it for the health benefits. I know that you are not used to it, you big Texans, you eat steak and that’s disgusting, and I hope that you will burn and burn forever for your crimes against this sweet cow. So, I ask you, can HOA come into my house and tell me not to eat cow dung? I don’t understand. Please, mayor, I beg you, let me eat the cow dung, it has healing properties, and I love you Kash Patel. He’s protecting the Epstein victims, but you know, so what? At least we got an Indian in there, right? Thank you, have a good evening and goodbye.
The performance drew visible discomfort inside the chamber, with attendees noting that the remarks trivialised and caricatured religious beliefs under the guise of satire.

As the speech progressed, several Indian-American residents stood up and exited the chamber mid-address in protest.
Those who remained later described the remarks as offensive and deliberately provocative, arguing that the council forum had been misused to demean a religious community rather than discuss civic grievances.
Clips from the meeting soon circulated widely on social media, amplifying debate around the speech and its intent.
Stein also veered into US national politics during his address, expressing support for former President Donald Trump and referring to the appointment of Kash Patel as FBI Director.
He made additional remarks about Patel’s personal life, saying he hoped to attend an “authentic Indian marriage,” comments that some viewers said reduced Indian identity to stereotypes.
The episode has renewed concern among sections of the Indian-American community about Hinduphobia in the form of cultural mockery and it entering public civic spaces.
Community members argued that while satire and free speech are protected, using official public platforms to caricature religious practices crosses into deliberate humiliation.
Civil rights advocates also criticised the use of a municipal forum for performative ridicule, stating that public grievance mechanisms should not be converted into stages for cultural mockery.
