Viral News: An American woman has been added to United Airlines’ no-fly list after launching a racist attack on renowned wedding photographer Pervez Taufiq and his Indian-American family on a shuttle bus at Los Angeles International Airport. The woman, identified as Karen, was recorded making vile racist comments toward Taufiq and his family, including his two children.
The incident began when the woman started making racist remarks towards Taufiq’s son while they were riding a shuttle bus to their flight. Matters quickly escalated when she told the children to 'shut up.' Taufiq began filming the altercation as the woman grew increasingly hostile. She stuck up both middle fingers and shouted, 'Your family is from India, you have no respect for the rules, you think you can push everyone… That’s what you think you are. You guys are crazy.'
Taufiq confronted her, asking, 'Indian people are crazy? You told me to have some more curry, right?' The woman responded by insulting him further, saying, 'I’m going to record your tandoori a*… your tandoori stinky a*.

As security arrived to intervene, the woman claimed she was the victim of racism. 'She [the airline employee doesn’t care that I’m a racist, you’re racist towards me. I’m American,' she said. Taufiq calmly responded, 'So are we [American].' However, the woman dismissed his statement, saying, 'You’re not American. Not originally, no. You’re from India.'
When Taufiq explained that he was born in the U.S., she dismissed him again, saying, 'No, you weren’t. That’s not on your passport.' Taufiq sarcastically asked, 'You want to see my passport? Is that going to make you happy?' Other passengers on the shuttle bus defended Taufiq, speaking out against the woman’s behavior. One rider was seen telling a United Airlines employee, 'She is out of line, she’s drunk, and we need her off the bus.' Another added, 'She’s been on the bus cussing and screaming, calling racist slurs at this nice family. They didn’t do anything. She doesn’t need to be on this bus.'
Following the incident, Taufiq shared the video on Instagram, expressing his disbelief and anger. 'My blood is boiling right now. I honestly can’t even believe this,' Taufiq said. 'She was telling my kids to shut up, and I lost it and said you don’t have a right to talk to my kids like that.' In response to the incident, United Airlines has banned the woman from future flights.
