In a now-viral Facebook video, a Fremont woman can be seen going on a racist tirade against a Korean-American Air Force veteran during a road rage incident.

James Ahn, the target of the woman's rage, videotaped the tail end of the woman's rant and posted it to Facebook on May 21, where it has amassed over 300,000 views.

"My mind was blank the whole time," Ahn told SFGATE. "I couldn't believe what was happening to me."

In his Facebook post, Ahn said that the woman got angry because he "wasn't driving fast enough for her." Ahn says that he was driving the speed limit of 35 mph, but the woman wanted him to get out of her way because she was speeding.

"I was at the signal stopped when she came behind me and as I started speeding up," Ahn said. "She was flickering her high beam which made me wonder if she was doing that to me."

Ahn said that after he changed lanes, Ahn's friend, who was also in the car, started to videotape the woman.

In the video, the woman can be heard saying, "not your f-ing country, this is my country."

The woman also makes a derogatory slant eyes gesture toward Ahn and says, "ugly Chinese," even though Ahn is Korean.

Ahn said that he is planning to file a hate crime charge against the woman, but the Fremont Police Department has stated that no crime took place.

In a series of tweets, the Fremont Police Department stated that they had investigated the incident, but could not establish a crime.

"It was determined that both parties yelled hurtful comments to one another during their argument," the Police Department wrote. "It was documented as a misc. public service as no crime could be established."

However, Ahn is adamant that he did not yell hurtful comments to the woman, and accused her of lying to police officers.

"She simply lied to the officer who asked her questions," Ahn said. "I didn't say anything other than posing myself asking what is wrong with her."

Ahn is an Air Force reserve whose main contract ended in January, but is on standby for two more years.

"I have a high tolerance being in the military, so I never engage with the haters on the road," Ahn said.

SFGATE is trying to identify the woman in the video and reach out for comment. This article will be updated when she responds.
