An unhinged woman was captured spewing vile racist attacks at a man and his family on a United Airlines shuttle bus.
Renowned photographer Pervez Taufiq recorded the woman harassing him on a crowded shuttle bus in Los Angeles last week.
He said the woman started making racist comments toward his son during their flight, but the situation escalated when she told his kids ‘shut up’ while they were all on the shuttle.
The woman wearing a green striped shirt stuck both her middle fingers up at Taufiq as he started to film the altercation.
‘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,’ she said.
Taufiq questioned her, ‘Indian people are crazy? You told me to have some more curry, right?’
‘I’m going to record your f******g tandoori a**… your tandoori stinky a**,’ the woman said.
He asked security to removed the woman and she interrupted saying, ‘She doesn’t care that I’m a racist, you’re racist towards me. I’m American.’

‘So are we,’ he replied.
‘You’re not American,’ she insisted. ‘Not originally no, you’re from f*****g India.’
‘I was born in America,’ Taufiq said.
‘No you weren’t, that’s not on your passport,’ she replied. Taufiq said, ‘Yeah, you want to see my passport? Is that going to make you happy?’
A United employee came on the shuttle and started talking to the woman as other riders shouted asking her to take the woman off the bus.
Another passenger told the employee, ‘She is out of line, she’s drunk and we need her off the bus.’
‘She’s been on the bus cussing and screaming, she started calling racist slurs at this nice family. They didn’t do anything, she doesn’t need to be on this bus.’
Afterwards, the father uploaded the altercation to Instagram expressing his disbelief and frustration.

‘My blood is boiling right now, I honestly can’t even believe this. We were just in this altercation with this lady who was giving us a really hard time,’ he said.
‘[She was] telling my kids to shut up and I lost it and said you don’t have a right to talk to my kids like that.’
