An Indian in Canada has been allegedly racially abused over a parking dispute by a white woman who yelled "go back to your country" and called him a "Paki", according to a media report.
Rahul Kumar, who moved from India to Canada seven years ago, was also called a "loser" with "shit-coloured skin", CTV news reported.
Kumar filmed the encounter outside his home on his cellphone last week.
In the video, a woman yells at Kumar over a parking dispute.
"You can film all you want Paki. Yes Paki, that's you with the shit-coloured skin," the report said, citing the video.
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."
Towards the end of the video, she can be seen driving off, but not before she spits on Kumar's car and calls him a "loser."
