A Lyft driver in Pennsylvania kicked a couple out of his car after the woman made racist comments, looking at the video it seems the woman was surprised to see a “white guy” behind the wheel.
Driver James Bode shared a video of the disturbing conversation, which took place Friday in Catasauqua called Fossil’s Last Stand, the Morning Call reported.

“Wow, you’re like a white guy,” the woman tells Bode. “What’s that?” he says. “Excuse me?”
“You’re like a normal guy, like you speak English,” the woman says, laughingly, as she pats his shoulder and adds, “Sorry.” “Nah, you can get out of the car,” Bode tells her. “That’s inappropriate, that’s completely inappropriate. If somebody was not white sitting in this seat, what would be the difference?”
The woman was with a man as well, and started to chime in the two going back and forth. Bode began to explain the racist remarks she made, but then the other got extremely angry.
“You’re a f—- asshole,” the man says.

Dear white people — this is what allyship against racism looks like. This is anti-racism in action.

“It’s all on camera, man,” Bode informs them.
“You’re a piece of s—-. I should punch you in the f—- face,” the man continues.
“You’re going to threaten me — assault?” Bode says

“No, I’m calling the cops on you, man,” Bode says. “It’s all on camera.”
On his Facebook page, the driver wrote that “the ride was for a ‘Jackie.’ “
“There was a police report filed (only because of the assault threat) not sure if that will do anything…if you make me feel uncomfortable, I will absolutely do the same, especially in my car or property,” he added.
According to The NY Post, the woman was identified as Jackie Harford who reportedly deactivated her Facebook page. Bode has not yet responded to The Post to speak more on the incident, but he did take the time to let his followers on Facebook that he is very appreciative of the support. “I appreciate it, truly,” he wrote. “But this is the way it should be everywhere, every time. I shouldn’t be ‘the guy’ who did it or said it…we should all be that person.”
