A California realtor lost his job after a video went viral of him verbally accosting an Asian woman.
The realtor was identified as Mike Dalcin, recently hired by Beach City Brokers.
An Asian woman, who goes by "Em" on Twitter, posted the video that would go viral.
She has since taken the video down, but the video is still available on YouTube.
You can view the video here:
Em said in her original post while she was walking down the sidewalk, she stopped to look at her phone. While looking at her phone, Dalcin exited his apartment with his two large dogs, then he began verbally assaulting her.
Em began filming on her phone after Dalcin had already started talking to her.
He was berating her for stepping up onto someone's lawn while she was standing on the sidewalk. When another woman walked by, Em asked her for help.
Dalcin stepped in front of Em and said:
"No one's going to pay attention to you, 'cause you're dumb, and you're a stupid blue Asian-haired girl."
Dalcin then showed Em his middle finger and began to swear at her.
Then he took out his own phone and said:
"I can record you, too. I can take videos of you, too."
Em began to try to walk away, circling around a red car. Dalcin quickly pursued her with his phone and his two dogs, and he continued swearing at her.
When Em reached the sidewalk again from the opposite end of the red car, she hurried down the sidewalk while still filming her video. Dalcin continued to yell after her but stopped pursuing her.
YouTubers who watched the video were concerned about Dalcin's behavior and pursuit of Em.
Beach City Brokers was made aware of the situation and quickly corrected it by firing Dalcin.
The company announced on their Facebook page:
"We have become aware of a video circulating on social media that involves a new agent we recently hired..."
"Effective immediately, Mike Dalcin has been removed as an agent from our office and is no longer an agent at our Company."
Individuals following the Facebook page were grateful something had been done.
There's no report of how Em is doing now, but hopefully, she's finding comfort in the number of people who know about Mike Dalcin's behavior, as well as his company's reaction to her verbal assault.
