A popular YouTuber recounts a disturbing incident where he was racially slandered and disrespected by a Caucasian man in an elevator. The YouTuber, who is black, was politely asking the man and his wife to let him and his dog go up in the elevator alone, as a courtesy to avoid any potential issues with his dog. However, the man responded with aggression and racial slurs, which escalated into a heated argument.
The YouTuber recorded part of the incident and later reported it to the building management. However, instead of taking action against the man, the management told the YouTuber that he and his pregnant girlfriend had to either get rid of their dog or move out within two weeks, citing that the dog was an "aggressive breed."
