Here's Newsweek's description of the video:

Video Shows Uber Driver Unleashing Racist Rant Against Black Passenger and Her Daughter

The 42 second video is in this link from Newsweek via MSN. Decide for yourself if the headline is accurate

For some reason, the 42 second video looks to be an entirely different Uber incident.

If that video is of the same incident in the article, I can see why the driver would fly off the handle.

Shaken from the experience, Milligan told WCBD on Monday that she plans to move forward with a lawsuit against the driver and Uber.

From the article:
quote:

In numerous video clips sent to the news outlet, the driver can be heard yelling racial slurs while driving recklessly. At times, the driver was seen taking his hands off the wheel for several seconds while screaming at the two passengers.

Why didn’t they show that?

I didn’t hear any racial slurs. But there was a lot of bleeping.

The fact that a lawsuit was already filed makes me wonder if this was planned.

I found what I think is the video Newsweek was referencing: LINK

I think an intern must have fricked up the linkage.

I'm assuming there is video of the racist remarks and these girls aren't simply making up the racist remarks in an attempt to overshadow their own insane behavior...

That's the wrong video. It even says in the video it's from San Fran. Whatever intern they tasked to put that together screwed up bigtime.

Yeah, the video in the article is passengers becoming abusive because the driver (if I may be so bold, apparently of Southern or Southwestern Asian ancestery) is attempting to enforce the company's mask policy.

The "Uber Goober" incident is something else entirely, although that is the incident to which the article refers in the text.

I'm going to have to call bullshite on this part.

I think he was ready to throw them out.

Looks like an unhinged loon.

The media will milk this for a year. Asian hate crimes, not so much.
