We are officially fans of Parvinder Kaur, the mum who wholesomely trolled racists on Twitter when she saw the awful things they were saying to her son, Simran Jeet Singh.
33-year-old Simran is a professor of religion at Trinity University in San, Antonio Texas. He is also a Sikh.
The educator and self-described activist recently received threatening messages from racists on Twitter, telling him to 'go home' and 'go back to whatever third world country you belong in'.
When Parvinder joined the social media site and saw what these people were tweeting, she clapped back in the best way possible.
My mom just joined Twitter and saw all the racist messages where people tell me to "go home" and "go back to where I came from." She wanted me to thank you all. She really wants me to move back to Texas.

Can she adopt us?
People from around the world took note of Parvinder's amazing response to hate speech. Simran said that since the tweet, they have received over a thousand invitations to visit people in their homes in every corner of the globe.
Even the mayor of San Antonio was a fan of Parvinder's sass!
Did the Mayor of San Antonio just offer to write a resolution to get me back to Texas? https://t.co/fYYAuZysOb

We love to see people banding together against prejudice!
Simran's original tweet already has over 146K likes and 25K retweets.
One veteran responded, "Seriously I don’t know you, I don’t follow you, but you’re welcome to pursue the same American dream I am pursuing. That I fought for and friends of mine died for. Those who tell you that seem to have forgotten what being American is,"
We need some tissues, stat!
The professor also shared a picture of his mother, and to be honest, we don't know if we've ever met anyone cooler.
For those wondering, that's my mama in the middle. She knows that ball is life. pic.twitter.com/A5yqTjGLk3

Thank you, Parvinder, for showing us how to respond to hate with love and humour.
