You S**T coloured Paki: Indian racially abused in Canada
Toronto, Aug 22: 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", according to a media report.
Rahul Kumar, who moved from India to Canada seven years ago, was also called a "loser" with "s**t-coloured skin", CTV news reported.
Kumar filmed the encounter outside his home on his cellphone last week.
In
the
video,
a
woman
yells
at
Kumar
over
a
parking
dispute.
"You
can
film
all
you
want
Paki.
Yes
Paki,
that's
you
with
the
s**t-coloured
skin,"
the
report
said,
citing
the
video
The
woman
who
made
the
comments
called
CTV
Edmonton
after
the
report
aired
and
criticised
the
coverage,
saying
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 was quoted as saying by the report.
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
Kumar's
car
and
calls
him
a
"loser."
Kumar says he was stunned by the woman's comments. "I've never experienced anything like that.
Kumar said he was concerned because the woman's profanity-laden rant was within earshot of children. "It is very disturbing," he said.
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.
