An Indian data scientist in Canada, Mehul Prajapati, has claimed that racial bias motivated the attacks he faced after his video on using university food banks went viral. He was accused of abusing resources intended for struggling students, despite his explanation that his video was for informational purposes and only showcased the food bank available to students at his university. Prajapati alleges that his employer, TD Bank, terminated his employment due to the controversy, and he has not worked for any organization since. The university provides free groceries for students facing food insecurity, and Prajapati argues that the video was meant to inform students about this resource and not promote the misuse of assistance.
