Woman Charged After Racial Slurs Hurled At Indian-Origin Man Following Edmonton Parking Dispute

Darpan News Desk, 26 Sep, 2018 12:40 PM
    A 44-year-old Edmonton woman who was captured on camera shouting racist slurs and mocking an Indian-origin man’s accent over a parking dispute has been now charged.
     
     
    Rahul Kumar, an HR professional who moved from India to Canada seven years ago, filmed the encounter outside his home on his cellphone last week, CTV reported on Tuesday.
     
     
    In the video, the woman who later identified herself as Angelique, was seen unleashing verbal tirade at Kumar over the parking issue.
     
     
    "You can film all you want Paki. Yes Paki, that's you with the sh*t-coloured skin," she was heard yelling at him from the driver's seat of her car.
     
     
    WARNING: Offensive language.
     
     
     
    The woman who made the comments called CTV Edmonton after the report aired and criticised the coverage, saying that she is “not a racist”.
     
     
    Asked whether the parking disagreement justifies the racist language used, she said, “It doesn’t matter if it justifies it or not; it happened and that’s where I took it.” She is unapologetic. “I have no problem with what happened,” she was quoted as saying by the report.
     
     
    At one point, she mocked Kumar's accent and said: "F***ing East Indian Paki bulls**t... Go back to your f***ing country, man."
     
     
    Then she can be seen driving off, but not before spitting on Kumar's car and calling him a "loser".
     
     
    Kumar said arguments happen, but racial insults are never justified.
     
     
    On Sept. 15, Angelique Denise Barfield, 44, was charged with causing a disturbance and mischief – obstruct lawful use of property. She was released on a promise to appear. The incident was initially being investigated as a hate crime, but Sgt. Gary Willits said there wasn’t enough evidence to suggest the incident was motivated by hate.
