Canada: Indian racially abused, called a 'loser' with 'shit-colored skin'
An Indian in Canada has been allegedly racially abused over a parking dispute by a white woman who yelled, "Go back to your country," and called him a "Paki", CTV News reported. Rahul Kumar, who moved from India to Canada seven years ago, was also called a "loser" with "shit-colored skin". Kumar filmed the encounter outside his home on his cell phone last week.
You can film all you want Paki, says woman
In the video, the woman can be seen yelling at Kumar over a parking dispute. "You can film all you want Paki. Yes Paki, that's you with the shit-colored skin," the report said, citing the video. At one point, the woman mixes up two countries where she thinks Kumar is from before she mocks his accent. "East Indian Paki," she shouts at him.
I'm not a racist, claims woman
The woman who made the comments had called CTV Edmonton after the report aired and said that she is "not a racist". Asked whether the parking disagreement justifies the racist language used, she said, "It doesn't matter if it justifies it or not; it happened and that's where I took it." She is unapologetic. "I have no problem with what happened," she said.
Was stunned by woman's comments, says Kumar
Kumar said he was stunned by the woman's comments. "I've never experienced anything like that," Kumar said, adding that he was concerned because the woman's profanity-laden rant was within earshot of children. "It is very disturbing," he said.
