Taufiq\u2019s recording of the Nov. 23 incident has gone viral on social media, directing a firestorm of anger toward the attacker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">\u201cWhat was most disappointing is that there\u2019s no level of contrition, no level of remorse,\u201d Taufiq told NBC News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Taufiq did not initially file a police report, but he said the attacker\u2019s identity has been shared with him and now he intends to press charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">A woman gave an interview to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/video\/1556782\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:L.A. Fox News affiliate Fox 11;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">L.A. Fox News affiliate Fox 11<\/a> on Tuesday, admitting to the incident and saying she had been provoked by Taufiq and his wife. She asked not to be named by the outlet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Taufiq feels sorry for her, he said, but doesn\u2019t feel by her responses that she is remorseful. He plans to start the process of pressing charges because he wants to make it clear that her behavior was not OK, he said. It\u2019s not clear whether the police will charge the woman with a crime.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Pervez Taufiq and his family.

Taufiq captured a video in which he and his kids were attacked with racism on a United Airlines bus.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Taufiq said the harassment began on the flight from Mexico, when she approached his 11-year-old son, who was sitting apart from the family, and questioned him about his race. On the shuttle bus from the aircraft to Los Angeles International Airport, video documents her putting up her middle fingers and insulting the family, calling them \u201cstinky\u201d and \u201ctandoori.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">\u201cYour family is from India, you have no respect, you have no rules,\u201d she said in the video. She then reached for her phone and said she was going to record while calling him \u201ctandoori\u201d in a derogatory way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">In the interview with Fox 11, the woman blamed her behaviour on a previous brain injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">\u201cMost people know me as a very kind, calm person, but since the brain injury I get agitated very easily,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">She also accused Taufiq of verbally attacking her first with a derogatory term for white people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Taufiq denies using any harmful terms, but says he did tell her to shut up after she yelled at his 4-year-old son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">\u201cThe one thing I don\u2019t want my kids to do is see their dad lay down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">This article was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/asian-america\/indian-american-family-racist-rant-united-airlines-bus-rcna183218\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NBCNews.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">NBCNews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/indian-american-family-attacked-bus-001533554.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Indian American family who was verbally attacked with a racist rant on a United Airlines shuttle bus is planning to press charges against the woman who called them \u201cnot &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=134346\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=134346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134346\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=134346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=134346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=134346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
