A video posted to TikTok shows the moment a white patient unabashedly refused to speak to a receptionist at a doctor’s office because she was Black.
“I’m sorry, I don’t speak to Black people,” the patient is heard saying.
The clip records the moments the patient expressed those racist views in the waiting area of a clinic in Indiana to a white staff member or office manager while ignoring the Black receptionist in front of her.
After making the declaration, the office manager takes her aside to chide her rhetoric.
“We don’t accept that kind of talk here,” the employee says to the woman.
“Oh, well, I need to be seen by my doctor,” the patient responds, dismissing the employee’s complaint.
“Who is your doctor?” the employee asks.
“Bridget,” the woman replies.
The patient and clinic employee take their conversation out of earshot of other patients and staff members, so it’s difficult to hear the rest of their exchange.
The patient recording the video then switches the camera to the front-facing view to show her shocked expression.
