The family has to taste racism when Kamal (sister in law) of "I" is cornered and sexually humiliated. She comes to house in shock. "I" comes to know about this and beats three white racist goons. But his brother didn't lodge a police complaint. Later on, "I" is attacked by a Pakistani who is running a boxing club.
