Disturbing video shows an interracial couple being harassed by a bigot who calls a Caucasian woman the lowest rung of humanity.
The video shows a black man and a white woman sharing a meal at an undisclosed restaurant when the man begins the racially motivated rant.
Look at this fuckery, the man filming says to himself. He then asks the pair if they are a couple.
After the diner says yes, his harasser continues: You had to go to the lowest rung of humanity?
If they are even humans. Like are you that weak?

Video at link. (Yes, he actually filmed it) I couldn't watch it, but the thought makes my stomach turn.

Methinks the OP missed this by not watching the video otherwise probably wouldn't have posted.

I think it merely solidifies perception of a consistent narrative of yours.

Thank you, philosslayer. I'd never see videos like this without you.
We mustn't forget reverse racism exists.
