Photographer Pervez Taufiq was traveling with his family when a woman told his kids to shut up before going on a racist rant and ultimately being removed from a shuttle bus.

Photographer Pervez Taufiq was recently traveling with his family when they were confronted with a racist woman on their flight.

During the flight, Taufiq was unaware that the woman had begun to speak to his children, asking them if they were Indian and making inappropriate comments to them.


But everything got worse when passengers boarded a transport shuttle to the next airport, and the woman decided to film them, say racist slurs to the whole family, and tell the children to "shut up" while they talked on the bus.

In the video, Taufiq explained:

"My blood is boiling right now. I honestly cannot even believe that this is a real thing. We were just in this altercation with this lady who was giving us a really hard time."
"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,' and the rest of this [video] is what she said."

The video then cuts to a white woman sitting on the transportation bus, saying racist slurs, flipping the family off, telling the children to "shut up," and filming them.

"Your family is from India. You have no respect, you have no rules, and you think you can push everyone. Push push push. That's what you think you are. You guys are f**king crazy."

When an attendant asked if there was a problem, Taufiq asked if she could be removed for being "rude and racist."

The woman responded:

"He doesn't care about being racist. He's racist towards me."
"I'm an American... You're not American. Not originally, no. You're from f**king India... I saw your passport."

While several attendants spoke to the woman, she tried to play the victim, but other passengers did not play along.

Hearteningly, some passengers spoke up on Taufiq's family's behalf and explained how she had been speaking to the whole family, especially the children, and making everyone on the bus uncomfortable.

She was then forcibly removed from the bus and had to take another to reach the airport.

Some viewers were disgusted by the woman's behavior.

Before the video ended, Taufiq said she had been arrested and would likely go on a no-fly list.

"So, quick update. The police are looking to arrest her. She was incredibly, incredibly abusive. Her husband got in my face and all this nonsense. But United Airlines handled this like a champ and is basically going to put her on a no-fly list."

Viewers were relieved by the update.

It's appalling that there are actually people like this in the world who believe their behavior is acceptable. Fortunately, more and more people and organizations are speaking out against behavior like this.

Sylvester Stallone's Wife Ripped For Her Bizarre Comments About Trans Kids In Hollywood

Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, sat down with Stephen Miller's wife, Katie, for an appearance on an episode of the conservative, right-wing The Katie Miller Podcast.

Flavin, who married Stallone in 1997, gave her unqualified opinion about why some celebrities have transgender children. Despite having no experience or training in psychology or medicine, the former model—who began her relationship with Stallone when she was 19 and the action star was in his 40s—opined that celebrity parents’ children are transgender because of a lack of “structure” in their lives.

Karoline Leavitt Dragged For Laughably Juvenile Text Reply To Journalist's Question

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was criticized after she shared a text exchange she'd had with Huffington Post reporter S.V. Dáte in which she gave a laughably juvenile response to his question about who chose Budapest for President Donald Trump's now-canceled meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump announced last week that he and Putin planned to meet in Budapest within two weeks to discuss the war in Ukraine. A preparatory meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had been scheduled for this week, but the White House said the two instead spoke by phone and that an in-person meeting was no longer “necessary.”

Sean Hannity Asked George Santos If He'll Pay Back Money He Stole—And His Answer Says It All

Disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos didn't surprise a soul after he gave Fox News personality Sean Hannity a waffling answer when asked if he'll still pay back the hundreds of thousands of dollars he stole from victims of his financial schemes.

Santos' short-lived political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief. He received a seven-year sentence for crimes that the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York argued “made a mockery” of the electoral process.
