Following his arrival, several media agencies published his pictures, prompting a wave of online comments based on racial stereotypes. \u201cWhen I came to Australia, a few agencies published my pictures, and someone sent me the comments people were making. They were saying things like, \u2018A new Uber driver has arrived\u2019 or \u2018The new 7\u201311 store employee is here,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dosanjh said he has come across many such racial remarks, but believes the world should be united without borders. Despite the negativity, he responded with humility and respect. \u201cI have no objection to being compared with a taxi or truck driver,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he holds deep respect for hardworking labourers. \u201cIt does not hurt me to be compared to taxi or truck drivers. I truly respect working-class people because they are the ones who keep the world moving. If there were no truck drivers, even bread wouldn\u2019t reach your home. I am not angry, and my love is for everyone \u2014 even for those who make such comments about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dosanjh\u2019s dignified stance against racism has drawn admiration from audiences globally, with many praising his message of inclusivity, respect, and unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Popular Bollywood actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh has faced racial stereotyping during a recent visit to Australia, where he was performing as part of his global tour.
