A viral video shows a white man dubbed Chad losing his cool and hurling racist insults at an Asian man in a California gym. The incident occurred Thursday at a 24 Hour Fitness in San Diego. A bystander caught much of the exchange on camera, and it spread rapidly online after being shared by Jackfroot, a media and news company that showcases "Asian American lifestyle, entertainment, and beyond." The media company posted the video to its Instagram, where it has racked up more than 56,000 views. Before the video began, the Chadwhich is comparable to a "Karen"had apparently been waiting for his turn at the squat rack, which the Asian man was already using. Chad quickly melted into a puddle of racist rage and began shouting slurs at the Asian gym-goer, primarily related to the coronavirus pandemic. The video shows the two men standing nearly chest to chestignoring social distancing recommendationsas Chad unleashes a string of bigoted buzzwords. Much of his tirade is difficult to make out over the noise in the gym, but the video includes captions of his outburst. "I dont go to your c**** country and spread the c**** kung flu virus," Chad says. He also tosses around the word "terrorist" and tells the man to "go clean my toilet, Gonzola," which, according to Urban Dictionary, has homophobic implications.

The video sparked outrage online, prompting many viewers to call for the man to be identified and barred from 24 Hour Fitness. "Come at me Chad," Instagram user @hohumsup wrote. "I'm always at the platform from 4:30 5:30. I can show you how to work your legs instead of your mouth." "Get his fucking name out," user @andy_lee_92 demanded. "I'm waiting for his fake-ass apology." Another person predicted how this exposure would likely turn out, quoting a popular meme from earlier this year: "You about to lose yo' job." 24 Hours Fitness acted quickly once the video was brought to its attention and terminated Chad's membership. Jackfroot shared a text from the company calling Chad's behavior "reprehensible" and saying it does "not tolerate racism in our clubs."

I know what racism is, but I absolutely don't understand why anyone would think their race is better than any other race

Generally raised with just their race and probably racist parents and friends who supported racist ideas.

Really hard to understand......

You knew how this would look when you were typing it out, dude.

Either that or you're just really bad at self-monitoring and self-awareness.

"I understand why white people think the n word in their heads" tells you all you need to know about this clown tbh

The whole "I guess you can't handle an argument and just resort to calling people racist" is a classic right-wing Twitch streamer/4chan racist gambit too.

They think they're so clever when they use that argument, too. As if they aren't blatantly transparent.

Why do certain people go straight for racial slurs when they get angry?

It's always from the same group who say they aren't racist and weren't themselves after.

Because generally when you're insulting someone you're going for the thing that you think is going to get to them the most. Chances are racial slurs will fill that criteria.
