Edmontan Woman Calls Indo-canadian Man A “paki With Shit Coloured Skin”
- August 22, 2018
EDMONTON – An Indo-Canadian man filmed a White woman who was hurtling racial abuse near his home after a parking dispute.
According to the recent report, the racist woman yelled to “go back to your country” and called him “Paki with shit-colored skin. ”
Rahul Kumar, an HR professional who moved from India to Canada seven years ago, filmed the encounter outside his home on his cell phone last week, CTV reported on Tuesday.
In the video, the woman who later identified herself as Angelique was seen unleashing verbal tirade at Kumar over the parking issue.
“You can film all you want Paki. Yes, Paki, that’s you with the sh*t-coloured skin,” she was heard yelling at him from the driver’s seat of her car.
At one point, she mocked Kumar’s accent and said: “F***ing East Indian Paki bulls**t… Go back to your f***ing country, man.”
Then she can be seen driving off, but not before spitting on Kumar’s car and calling him a “loser”.
After the video went on air, the woman called CTV Edmonton and criticized the coverage, saying that she was “not a racist”.
Asked whether the parking disagreement justified the racist language used, the unapologetic woman said: “It doesn’t matter if it justifies it or not. It happened and that’s where I took it and I’m responsible for that.”
“I can live with myself… I have no problem looking in the mirror … I love myself. I have no problem with what happened.”
Kumar said he was stunned by the woman’s profanity-laden rant and called it disturbing. “I’ve never experienced anything like that,” he said.
At one point in the video, the woman mixes up two countries where she thinks Kumar is from before she mocks his accent.
“East Indian Paki,” she shouts at him. “Go back to your country, man,” she adds.
Towards the end of the video, she can be seen driving off, but not before she spits on the car of this Indo-Canadian man and calls him a “loser.” Indo-Canadian man Mr. Rahul Kumar said, ” I was stunned by the behavior of the lady and I’ve never experienced anything like that.” Though the Kumar was concerned because the woman’s profanity-laden rant was within earshot of children.
“It is quite disturbing,” he said. Apart from this last month, an Indian-origin couple was harassed in Canada by a white man who yelled that ‘go back to your country’ and threatened to ‘kill’ their children.
For Kumar, the incident was even more disturbing because children, including his young child, were within earshot at the time.
Edmonton Police said the Hate Crimes Unit was aware of the video and is reviewing it, but it is not officially considered a hate crime at this time.
