A video showing a woman hurling racist remarks at someone has emerged on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) with the claim that an American woman courageously confronted an Indian man on an airport shuttle bus after he harassed her 14-year-old daughter. Later, the police arrested the man for his despicable behavior. The video has been shared by a pak-based handle on X with this claim.
An account named PSYWAR Bureau posted this video and wrote: “
Fact-Check
The DFRAC investigated the claim and found it to be false.
A keyword search on Google in this regard led us to various media reports from CBS News, WCVB, TMZ & abc7. We examined these reports thoroughly and found that the reports did not mention such a claim of harassing her 14-year-old daughter.
As per reports, a woman was caught on video hurling racist remarks and making obscene gestures at a couple and their children on a shuttle bus at Los Angeles International Airport. Pervez and Nicole Taufiq traveled to Los Angeles with their three children to spend Thanksgiving with family. They were on a shuttle bus when the woman unleashed her disturbing rant.
Apparently, no such information regarding the above claim has appeared in the media reports.
Conclusion
It is evident from DFRAC’s fact-check that the claim made by the Pak-based handle is completely false.
Indeed, the woman has been found spewing racist remarks at a couple and their children on a shuttle bus at Los Angeles International Airport.
