Racist rant against Calgary Uber driver captured on video

A Calgary Uber driver is speaking out about a racist encounter he recently had with a passenger.

Video of the interaction has been shared to numerous social media platforms, where it has been viewed tens of thousands of times since it was uploaded.

The video starts innocently enough, showing Uber driver Mandeep Sehgal picking up a passenger outside of Calgary. But just as Sehgal prepares to start driving the passenger asks Sehgal where he is from and says, “don’t lie to me.”

Sehgal tells the passenger he was born in India then asks him why he’s being so judgmental.

Speaking to Global News about the video, Sehgal said “he started asking about my immigration status and in my mind, I was thinking, ‘You booked the ride. I’m supposed to take you from point A to point B. Why you want to know my immigration status?'”

“Initially, I thought he was joking,” added Sehgal.

In the video, the passenger responded by saying “I am a born-and-raised Calgarian."

After further yelling and swearing by the passenger, Sehgal pulled over and told him “you can get out here, on your land.”
