>A black student was repeatedly called the n-word in a racist rant in New York.
Yale PhD student Kathryn Graves, 27, told The Post she was walking in Midtown in her Black Lives Matter T-shirt Saturday afternoon when the woman began shouting at her, prompting her to turn down the music in her headphones.
Her abuser, who was clutching a case of Natural Ice beer, said:
>"Obama's fucking dick right next to his ape fucking wife."
She then made monkey noises at Ms Graves, before adding:
>"Nigger ape. You fucking nigger ape.
>"What’s the matter, you nigger ape, you got time to f***ing do your hair?
>"What’s the matter, you got time to do your fucking pink ape fucking hair, you nigger Obama fucking ape."
As the woman walked away, Ms Graves, who had up to that point remained silent, said: "You 'bout to lose your job.
>"We’re going to find you online and you’re going to lose your job.”
Many social media users praised the restraint she showed in her response to the woman. One person said:
>“I admire you for not winding up and knocking that trash to the gutter where she belongs."
Another wrote:
>“Girl, I would’ve lost my freedom. Like I’m not recording. I’m smacking!”
She has since sent the full video to the NYPD and has been in touch with officers and another potential victim of the same woman, Graves said.
She believes the abuser is likely homeless, but insists neither that nor possible mental health issues are excuses because “racism is not a symptom of either of those things.”
>“I have no desire to see this woman like locked up,” Graves said, saying she’d prefer the woman get mental health treatment — while still fearing she could be “a risk to public safety.”
