Yet another incident involving a drunken fool. And she was born in Scotland, which makes him look even more stupid as if that's possible.
And sadly not one person around her came to her defense. And predictably, some are excusing his behavior by saying he was drunk, no big deal, or that she was wearing a hijab.
Kudos though to the train manager who kicked his dumb arse off the train.
The mobile phone footage, taken by Ms Shahid, shows the 47-year-old asking: “How did you get into first class? You don’t deserve to be in first class.”
He sneered at them: “You should be in common class. In fact, you shouldn’t be in this country at all.
“You don’t deserve to be here. Bloody foreigners. Where were you even born?”
Ms Shahid, a Glasgow-born lawyer, said the altercation began when MacKinnon shouted at her son for no apparent reason, and then escalated into the racist tirade.
Around a dozen other passengers looked on and did not intervene, leaving Ms Shahid to confront MacKinnon and report him to the train manager.
Why would someone come to her defense? She wasn't being physically assaulted.
Why mix words with a drunken racist in a situation where you're stuck with each other for the foreseeable future?
She reported him. The employee said he was booted at the next stop. Just ignore him.
