‘Don’t Do It’: Black Woman Steps In to Keep Racist White Man From Getting His Butt Kicked By Asian Passenger

A Black woman stepped into de-escalate a heated confrontation between a racist white man and an Asian passenger on a Northern California BART train late last year.

In a Facebook video published by NowThis last week, an older white man is seen berating and physically assaulting an Asian man as he sits quietly on the train. The man repeatedly refers to the passenger as a “Chinese n—-r” as he lunges at his victim and slaps the man as fellow passengers look on.

A witness filmed the entire incident.

“I’ll punch you down your seat, you f—–g [inaudible],” the attacker says. “I’ll hunt you down … n—-r. Yeah, you Chinese n—-r.”

The victim calmly stands his ground, refusing to give the bully the response he wanted, seemingly in an effort to defuse the situation. The passenger’s coolness and short “yep” only seemed to anger the white man more, however.

“Oh—you think I’m afraid of you?” the aggressor says, to which the passenger replies, “I never said that sir.”

“I hate you f—–g Chinese f—s,” the man continues before slapping the victim. The hit triggered a different response from the passenger, prompting him to stand up and issue this warning: “Put your hands on me one more time, motherf—-r.”

That’s when the Black female passenger intervenes, wedging herself between the two infuriated men. She’s heard trying to calm the Asian man down and prevent him from engaging in what is clearly a racially-motivated attack. She courageously put herself in harm’s way, as she could’ve easily been struck by the attacker from behind.

“Don’t do it. Don’t do it,” the woman says. “Sit down. Don’t do it.”

According to NowThis, three calls were made to police about the on-train disturbance. The white man fled before authorities arrived, however. Police applauded passengers for their handling of the frightening situation.

The incident reportedly happened several months ago but was just recently brought to light.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
