A TikTok video showing an Uber driver calling a passenger a racial slur has gone viral.
Abby Nicole, who is Black, shared the clip on the video-sharing platform late Tuesday night, where it has since amassed more than 180,000 views.
The clip shows her in a verbal altercation with the driver over an apparent request to turn down the air conditioning in the car.
"I will call the police," the driver tells the woman. When she asks why, he tells her it is "because I don't want you in my car."

The argument continues, and as the woman steps out of the vehicle calling the driver "racist," he calls her the N-word.
"You heard me," he says, when she asks him to repeat it.
"Cause I'm a n*****?" she says. "Cause you're acting like one," he replied.
According to the video's caption, the passenger got into the vehicle and asked the driver "politely to please turn his ac down because it was blowing so hard in my face."
She adds that her phone stopped recording because "he then put his car in reverse and pushed the gas" while she was gathering her belongings. She said the driver hit her with the vehicle while the car door remained open.
