After exchanging greetings with the driver, he said, “Wow, you are like a white man”. To this Bode said, “I’m sorry?” And the woman answered,
You like it, a normal man? Are you talking English? “And patted on the shoulder.
Then Bode told the woman that he could leave his car and he would cancel the trip. “That is absolutely inappropriate. If someone is not white, sitting in this chair, what’s the difference, “he said. The woman acted surprised. When Bode repeated that he canceled the trip, a man who accompanied the woman, who listened to conversations from outside the car, began to pile up in the Bode and use the words-n-n. He also threatened Bode with physical attacks.
Bode shared video exchange on his Facebook page. Soon, the video became viral with many people dividing it on social media.
Appreciate Bode for calling racist customers, a Twitter user wrote, “This should be how everyone responds to racism. That’s how we get rid of it. That’s really that. As simple as that. “
