CA realtor caught on racist rant against Asian woman.

And you can guess the consequences of that.

A real estate agent from Brentwood, CA 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."

Though I'm quite sure he will use being drunk as an excuse. I've been around enough drunks to know that alcohol doesn't change who you are, it just reveals and magnifies your true nature. There's no doubt who this guy is at his core.

The other one is in the East Bay, out past Antioch on the 4.

Neither of these are cheap places to live. Well, not anymore, in the case of East Bay Brentwood. Used to be bum-f**k-nowhere when I was young, but not anymore.

He better hope he has some SAVINGS, let's put it that way.

Also ... what a f***ing asshole.

It is so out there in Contra Costa. I saw a lot of construction going on. I used to lived n Pleasant Hill in the mid 70’s and Brentwood only was farm land. Bart goes out to Antioch now so I can see that area growing even more.

Just kissed a half million dollar job good bye. Nobody will want to hold his Real Estate License Card in California. Might be able to get a job in Alabama.

insisting that their states aren't like that anymore. But as a Texan, born and raised, and in voluntary exile in the PNW, I can tell you Texas is still 'like that'.

hard core Kluckers. Used to put up with their crap when doing Volunteering at a New Mexico Historical Railroad. Only could tolerate it just so many days and then we had to bail. Needed to take a couple showers after trying to work with the Ignorant.

As the managing broker of a 75-80 agent office for over 5 years, I had a tremendous amount of respect and power in the Realtor community.

If any of my agents had done anything close to that I'd have had them before the ethics committee within weeks, and before the Dept. of Commerce licensing committee immediately after that.

What he did can have huge negative consequences for a brokerage. They need to take every step available to denounce him, dis-associate themselves from him, and show the community the steps that have taken to make sure he NEVER is privileged to use the Realtor designation again as long as he lives.
