A hotel clerk was caught on video calling a black customer a monkey. He's been fired

An employee at a Virginia hotel was fired this week after he was recorded on video using an expletive and a racial slur during a confrontation with a black customer.

The video shows the unnamed hotel clerk angrily walking from behind the reception desk, opening the door leading to the lobby and screaming at the customer to “get off my property” as he points his right arm in one direction.

“Why?” the customer asks, while recording the encounter.

“Because you are rude!” the clerk yells. As he walks back toward the door to the reception desk, he tells the customer again to get his family and leave. There’s more back-and-forth arguing between the guest and the clerk.

Then, as he is opening the door, with his back against the customer, the clerk muttered a curse word and said “monkey.”
