A hipster realtor from Brooklyn was caught on camera yelling racist insults at a black bouncer and Hispanic man in the early hours of Friday morning.
Chris Giardina, 29, was filmed by a bystander after being thrown out of a bar in the Bushwick area of the city.
Giardina loses his cool early-on in the six minute long clip and as the estate agent can be heard using the n-word at a bouncer and various other expletive-laden epithets – all while the Hispanic man continues to film the entire meltdown.

‘Touch me again you f****** n*****,’ Giardina can be heard shouting.
Incredibly the bouncer remains calm despite the goading.
He then turns to the man shooting the footage and starts unleashing further vitriol against Latinos: ‘Yeah I said it, ’cause he’s punching me you f****** s***!’
Giardina, who is originally from Boston, appears to be on the phone summoning the police and encouraging them to arrest the doorman claiming he was punched by him after leaving through the wrong door of the venue The House of Yes on Wyckoff Avenue.
‘Get a cop here now or I’m going to end up burying this black guy,’ Giardina threatens.

‘I will bury you,’ he then continually shouts at the bouncer. ‘You hit me in the face like a dirty, f****** black person. You’ll lose your job and you’ll lose your house. Trust me.’
‘What is this, Harlem?’ asks Giardina attempting to further enrage the bouncer who manages to keep his cool throughout the uncomfortable encounter.
Giardina worked as a real estate agent for hipster apartment broker MySpace NYC but has since been fired by the company for his racist outburst.
‘I was very disappointed in the video to say the least,’ principal broker Shawn Mullahy told The Post. ‘I was embarrassed and saddened by it. It’s not in line with the company culture or values.’
Giardina told the New York Post that although he was drunk at the time he was not a racist because someone else used the n-word first.
At one stage Giardina claims the bouncer hit him and he threatened to ‘bury’ him. ‘You’ll lose your job and you’ll lose your house. Trust me,’ he yelled
‘The word that I used, that I’m embarrassed by using, was being thrown around the entire time. It was already in the air,’ he told The Post. ‘It doesn’t make me a racist; it makes me an idiot.’
He said he couldn’t recall anyone else using the slur against Latinos, however.
Giardina also suggested that the video was ‘manipulated’ to make him look bad. He claimed that the crowd outside the bar was ‘actually on my side’ until he started dropping racial epithets.
There were no arrests, according to police.
