A pleasant bike ride shouldn’t devolve into racist tirades. But that’s exactly what we saw happen to a woman out cycling with her 9-year-old daughter. You pulled up in your late-model Nissan sedan right up behind them and began to honk your horn impatiently. The mother confronted you about your rudeness, but that wasn’t enough to check you, a pink polo-clad Valley Bro. “Oh, shut the f— up,” you shot back with a smug grin on your face before adding, “You fucking Cambodian n—–.” Good thing the mom recorded the encounter. Now you’ll have to face the consequences of your racism when you show up for your next shift after the 4th of July holiday.
