國際中心／綜合報導
紐約市一班開往曼哈頓的Q32公車日前發生歧視事件，當時一名灰髮的亞裔男子上車，看見老婦人坐在博愛座後，他馬上大吼要對方讓位，還說亞洲人會繳稅，而且從未入獄，比深色膚色的族群優秀。這段畫面被乘客所拍下，在網路引起熱議。
影片中可見，亞裔男子對著老婦非常無禮，他大聲質問對方是否看不懂旁邊的告示，並要女子讓開，還用助行器撞婦人的腳。然而，在博愛座的老婦自己身體也不舒服，雙腳無法久站，且明明前方還有空位。
這名亞裔男不僅強烈要求他人讓位，還嘲諷拉美裔不識字，要對方滾回自己的國家，又說亞洲人更加優秀，但他所說的英語聽起來比婦人的還不清楚。上傳影片的切爾西（Chelsea Soriano）寫道，坐著的婦人老了，行走困難，她試圖介入衝突，但被男子告知要她「回到自己原本的地方」。

切爾西表示，亞裔男前方還有空位，但他一直堅持要老婦的座位，後來才不甘願坐在前方，接著又大吼大叫。不過，婦人始終都相當鎮靜，即使被辱罵也沒有起身讓位，反而把頭轉向窗邊，無視男子的行為。
影片發酵後，許多網友也紛紛留言指責亞裔男的舉動，明明自己也不是美國人，到底有什麼資格叫別人滾回家，「可悲的男人」、「歧視是一種心理疾病」、「他到底在說什麼」、「幸好婦人保持她的尊嚴」。
This is NYC for ya. All that shit talking for a seat... Edit: (caption taken from Cris Soriano’s post) So today my family and I were taking the Q32 to Manhattan. Everything was fine until this old Asian man got on and started hassling the woman sitting down to give up her seat. Now this man did not ask nicely he straight up yelled at her asking her if she can read... This woman was old and had trouble walking, only difference is this old man used a walker... So let me finish, on top of yelling at this woman... he started ramming his walker on to this poor woman’s legs. He then told her to get out and go back to her country. Mind you this woman spoke clearer English than he did... AND THENNNN he called us spicks and told us all to go back to where we came from. He also went on a rant about how Asians are better because they pay taxes and they never go to jail. Unlike us brown people... Before yall try to come at us for not helping, we did try. We told the man to just take the seat in front but he was adamant about hers. The woman also kept her ground so she was fine dealing with him, hence her calmness in the video. Can we make this go viral?...
