This is the shocking moment a man repeatedly shouts the n-word at a black Irish woman and tells her to ‘go back to your own country’.
In the unprovoked racist attack, a white man crosses the road in Galway and aggressively shouts the n-word at the woman in broad daylight.
The video clip was shared on Twitter by user @adejokxe with the caption: ‘Ireland isn’t racist?? I was in Galway minding my business then this happened’.
The woman filming says: ‘Say that again’ as the middle-aged man spins round to face her and points his finger at the camera.
The white man – dressed in a tracksuit and dark padded jacket – strides across the road shouting the n-word as a cyclist attempts to intervene

He repeatedly shouts ‘n*****’ as the incredulous woman says: ‘What? Don’t talk to me like that’.
A man wearing a red t-shirt and jeans who witnesses the racist attack cycles towards the man, in an apparent bid to keep him back from the woman.
The racist man – wearing a padded coat and sunglasses with a rucksack on his back – continues to shout: ‘You’re a f****** n*****.’
The woman repeats: ‘Don’t talk to me like that’.
The man raises his voice again as he yells: ‘You’re not from here. Go back to your own country’.
The female responds: ‘I’m Irish. I’m from here. Don’t talk to me like that.’
The cyclist’s efforts to intervene have little effect, as the man strides towards the camera and shouts: ‘Where were you born?’
The lady answers: ‘I was born here, don’t talk to me like that.’
The racist repeats: ‘Go back to your own county’ before marching away and shouting ‘n*****’.
The woman who posted the video is believe to be a musician, and she frequently posts links and videos of her performances across social media.

The video was posted on August 12, days after the BBC finally apologised nearly two weeks after a white presenter said ‘n****r’ in a news report.
More than 18,000 people complained to the BBC after social affairs correspondent Fiona Lamdin said the highly-offensive term while covering a racist hit-and-run attack on a black NHS worker on July 29.
The broadcaster’s director-general Lord Tony Hall admitted they ‘made a mistake’ and ‘should have taken a different approach’.
