California Realtor Loses Job After Racist Video Harassing Asian Woman Goes Viral

A real estate agent from the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles was fired recently after a video of him hurling racist comments at an Asian woman surfaced online.

What happened: On Wednesday, a social media user who goes by “Em” shared the video in a now-deleted tweet.

At around 5 p.m., Em claimed she walked down her street near Montana Avenue and Bundy Drive.
She felt threatened by a man accompanied by two large dogs.
According to Em, she, “stopped to look at [her] phone when this man came out of his home & verbally assaulted [her].” She noted that he did not wear a face mask.
As Em backed away from the man, he continues to approach her as seen in the video.
Em claimed she was ignored when she asked for help from someone walking nearby.
She recorded the man as he said, “No one’s going to pay attention to you, ’cause you’re dumb, and you’re a stupid blue Asian-haired girl.”
He then held up his middle finger to her and swore at her.

Unprofessional behavior: The verbal assaulter, who has been identified as Michael “Mike” Dalcin, was recently fired, according to Patch.

Beach City Brokers, a Redondo Beach real estate agency based in Brentwood, let go of Dalcin after the viral video was brought to its attention.
The company posted on its Facebook page about the video, stating that, “We have become aware of a video circulating on social media that involves a new agent we recently hired… Effective immediately, Mike Dalcin has been removed as an agent from our office and is no longer an agent at our Company.”

“Beach City Brokers insist and will always maintain a high standard of integrity and ethics and will not tolerate racism or any other unprofessional behavior.”

Final words: Before her account disappeared from Twitter recently, Em shared her thoughts on the incident.

“I have lived in this city my entire life and have never felt threatened in the way I did today. This man singled me out bc I was an Asian girl walking by myself and took advantage. We need to hold bigots like these accountable.”
