It’s hard to believe that this sort of thing still happens, and yet, here it is: earlier this week in Manhattan’s Chinatown, traffic agent Twana Chapman was about to put a parking ticket on a car when the owner, Qiang Nian Zhu, tried to stop her. Zhu tried to explain that he still had a minute left on his meter, and that his wife was in the process of paying for another meter ticket. Witnesses report that Chapman began cursing at everyone around her: “You f—— Chinese, go back where you came from. All of you f—— Chinese.” Chapman then struck Zhu when he covered the registration sticker on his dashboard so she couldn’t scan it. Chapman then called the police, and Zhu was thrown in jail. He was released after 9 hours. Witnesses also report Chapman’s supervisor tearing up the parking ticket at the scene. So far, the NYPD says complaints about racial epithets have not been filed.
What next?

Yeah I read about this in the news. Nothing new really, traffic cops think they're all that because of the uniform. It's appalling how she had him arrested when he really didn't do anything wrong. Though it did make the matter worse by covering the registration sticker. I probably would've done the same thing under the circumstances but Chapman took it too far after seeing the security camera footage.

“go back where you came from”
I guess some of the people she was referring to were born in a hospital in the US.

Regardless, it's an ignorant comment. It presumes that anyone who looks Asian could not possibly have been born here.
