A man who refused to wear a mask in a Mississauga grocery store, claiming he suffers from asthma, unleashed a racist tirade at store employees telling them to “go back to China” in an incident that was captured on video.
The video was posted to YouTube on Tuesday.
T&T Supermarket in Mississauga confirmed that the confrontation took place at its store at 715 Central Parkway West in Mississauga on July 5.
Peel police say they are aware of the incident and it is being investigated as a hate-motivated incident.
The nearly four-minute video begins with the man, who appears to be shopping with an Asian woman, talking to a female employee about the store’s mandatory mask policy.
Masks have been mandatory for store employees since March 19 while customers have been required to wear a face covering since May 11.
The man suddenly dumps his items on the ground and begins walking away, telling the employees that he’s “going to have the media here.”
“You guys can all wear your masks and you can all die,” he says. “When you wear the masks you get sick, it’s science.”
The man’s anti-mask stance quickly evolves into a racist rant directed at the store’s Asian employees.
“Where did we get our Wuhan communist virus? From China, from you guys,” the man stated as several employees walked over to try and urge him to leave the store.
When the man continues to blame “communist China” for the virus, the male employee responds, “We are Canadian, sir.”
“You’re Canadian?” the man responds in disbelief. “You’re as Canadian as my butt.”
“I’m Canadian! I’m Canadian!” the upset employee declares.
As staff direct the man to the exit, he continues to shout that he has asthma while blaming China for the coronavirus.
“I’m Canadian,” the male employee once again stresses, raising his hands above his head in a non-threatening gesture.
“Go back to China where you came from,” the irate man yells, “and take your coronavirus back to Wuhan. You’re Canadian eh? And I’m Chinese.”
After more words are exchanged, the man finally leaves.
When a male employee asks him to avoid yelling, the man repeatedly asks him: “Where are you from?”
“I’m Canadian,” the employee responds.
The man continues to rant against the use of masks, saying “you get sick with the masks, you’re breathing in old air.”
