A woman was kicked out of a United Airlines bus after she made racist comments about an Indian American family.
The incident took place on November 24 at the Los Angeles airport.
Visuals, captured and shared online by Pervez Taufiq, one of the victims of the abuse, showed the woman flipping her fingers while shouting racist comments.
In the video, the woman can be heard saying: “Your family is from India, you have no respect, you have no rules, you think you can push everyone, push, push, push.”
“You guys are f–king crazy,” she continued.
Taufiq then asked the woman to advise him to have “more curry, right?” In response, the woman said that she was going to take out her phone “to record your f–king tandoori a**.” She then proceeds to record Taufiq and his family.
The woman was finally asked to get off the bus, but not before she hurled more racist comments.

Sharing his account of the incident, Taufiq, a photographer by profession, posted on Instagram: “Mortified we just went through this. This lady was harassing our son on the flight, unbeknownst to us , asking him if he was indian and making comments. When we landed in LA and got on the transfer bus, she told our son to “shut up” , I told her she doesn’t have a right to speak to my son that way and her husband got in my face trying to tell me to not speak to his wife. The remainder of this is what happened . I’m thankful United @united got her off the bus ultimately and a few fellow passengers stood up for us. Blown away these types of people still exist . As photographers we have seen a lot of, but this is one we could have done without.”
He also informed that police were investigating the incident.
