Unhinged woman was captured spewing vile racist attack.
A woman in the United States was caught on camera making racist remarks towards a man and his family during an airport shuttle ride. The incident occurred on a United Airlines shuttle bus in Los Angeles and was recorded by photographer Pervez Taufiq.
Mr Taufiq, who was travelling with his children, shared that the woman had already been hostile during their flight and continued to make inflammatory remarks as they boarded the shuttle bus. In a video posted to Instagram, the woman can be heard making derogatory comments about the family’s Indian heritage.
The footage shows the woman saying: “Your family is from India, you have no respect for the rules, you think you can push everyone… that’s what you think you are. You guys are f*****g crazy.”
When Mr Taufiq challenged her, referencing her previous comment about curry, she responded with more offensive language, stating: “I’m going to record your f*****g tandoori ass, your tandoori stinky ass.”
As tensions escalated, the woman accused Mr Taufiq of not being American, despite his repeated assertions that he was born in the country. She dismissed his claims, saying, “That’s not on your passport,” to which Mr Taufiq replied: “Yeah, you want to see my passport? Is that going to make you happy?”
Another passenger on the bus intervened, calling for security to remove the woman. They described her behaviour as inappropriate and noted that she had been shouting profanities and racist slurs at the family. The bystander added, “She doesn’t need to be on this bus.”
According to reports, United Airlines were made aware of the incident and subsequently banned the woman from flying with the airline.
Reflecting on the incident, Mr Taufiq expressed his frustration on social media, saying, “My blood is boiling right now. I honestly can’t even believe this. [She was] telling my kids to shut up, and I lost it. I said you don’t have a right to talk to my kids like that.”
The video has since sparked widespread condemnation online, with viewers praising Mr Taufiq’s composure and criticising the woman’s unacceptable behaviour. Calls for stricter measures against such incidents of public racism have grown following this altercation.
