Meet Tesh Jennings, an Indian-American rancher who says 'not all Indians code'

An Indian-American cowboy has gone viral after he posted his ranch life video from New Mexico, smashing the stereotypes about Indians. Tesh Jennings said not all Indians code but some of them, like him, wear boots, work cattle and grow food. The video offered a glimpse of his ranch life, his cattle, but the comment section was flooded with hate posts as many users said they don't care, and an Indian should just go back.

Some users were confused whether Jennings meant native Indian when he said he was an Indian-American or whether he meant an Indian from India. On realizing that he meant an Indian from India, the racist comments targeting specific Indians poured in though positive comments outweighed those. Many users appreciated him for his assimilation and said this is the immigration they want. Some called him honorary Mexican, more American than Americans etc.
