A Lyft driver goes viral after sharing a video of an encounter with racist passengers.
The driver, James W. Bode, posted a video to social media of him kicking a woman out of his car for making racist remarks.
The incident was captured on Bode’s dashcam inside his car around 10:37 pm on Friday. The video shows a woman, identified as “Jackie,” entering Bode’s car with a man following behind her.
While settling into the vehicle, Jackie says to Bode, “You’re like a white guy.” Bode then tries to get clarity and asks her to repeat herself.
“You’re like a white guy?” Jackie asks again. “You’re like a normal guy like you speak English?”
Bode, immediately offended, turns to the woman and request that she leaves the car.
“Nah, you can get out of the car,” Bode says.
The woman seemed confused by Bode’s statement and looked at him saying, “what?”
Bode then explains why he’s not accepting the ride from the individuals.
“That’s inappropriate,” the driver says. “That’s completely inappropriate. If somebody was not white sitting in this seat, what would be the difference?”
A man appears in the video also attempting to enter the car when Bode recounts the exchange to the man, repeating that he’s not going to take the ride.
The man instantly gets upset about the situation and calls Bode a “f*cking a**hole and threatens to “punch” him “in the f*cking face.”
The two continued to yell racial slurs at Bode while he stated he would call the police and tell them of the exchange.
Later on, Bode told Facebook he was picking up the couple for a ride outside Fossils Last Stand in Catasauqua, Pennsylvania. He also added he is filing a police report “because of the assault threat.”
