A white Columbia sophomore was caught on disturbing video unleashing a racist tirade aimed at a group of students of color — yelling that “white people are the best thing that happened to the world,” according to a report.

The apparently drunk student, identified by the Columbia Spectator as Julian von Abele, followed the group from Butler Library to a campus eatery about 4 a.m. Sunday.

“We invented science and industry and you want to tell us to stop because, ‘Oh my God, we’re so bad!’” he is seen shouting in the video shot by one of the onlookers.

“We saved billions of people from starvation, we built modern civilization! White people are the best thing that ever happened to the world!” continues the bespectacled young man, who is clad in a blazer and button-down shirt.

The incredulous students express shock at his unhinged rant.

“Oh, my God,” one says. Another is heard asking, “What about slavery?”

“White people are the best thing ever,” the student continues, unabated. “I love myself and I love my people…F–k yeah! White people!”

Von Abele describes himself on Twitter as an “author, physicist, and 2016 Independent candidate for President.”

“Let’s end our corrupt, two-party system. Vote Julian in 2016,” he wrote Oct. 6 that year, along with a dead link to a Web site in his name.

He apparently authored a 218-page book in 2015 titled “Physics Reforged: The New Theory of Parallel Universes, Hidden Dimensions, and the Fringes of Reality.”

“Julian began developing new theories of physics in the eighth grade,” according to a description on Amazon, where the book is on sale for $14.95.

Kwolanne Felix, one of the harassed students, called for the Ivy League university to respond strongly to the incident.

“I really hope that Columbia takes further action. They should definitely try to talk to the students that were affected by that and ensure everyone’s okay because that’s really hard to internalize,” Felix told the Spectator, a student paper.

The Black Students’ Organization at Columbia said in a statement that the student “continued to harass several students and Public Safety did nothing to help or protect the students when they were contacted.

“This came after he forcibly grabbed a Black woman and asked Black women if they liked to date white men, according to several individuals,” the group wrote on Facebook.

The Black Students’ Organization at Columbia released a statement saying the student also physically grabbed one of the others and asked if black women like to date white men.

University senator Alfredo Dominguez, a senior studying ethnicity and race studies, emailed university president Lee Bollinger, Columbia College dean James Valentini and other officials, calling for disciplinary action.

“You can have arguments all you want about free speech and people being entitled to say what they want,” Dominguez told the Spectator.

“But when that bubbles [into] assaulting black or brown people with that and then stalking them … you’re getting into levels of hate crime and your speech being directly related to violence,” he said.

Dean of multicultural affairs Melinda Aquino responded by saying the university was addressing the ugly incident and taking student concerns seriously.

It was unclear if von Abele, who did not respond to the Spectator’s request for comment and could not be reached by The Post, would face any disciplinary action.

In a statement sent to students late Sunday, Columbia deans denounced the “racially charged incident,” and invited undergrads to an open reflection on Monday night.

“Although we cannot comment on the proceedings, this incident is already under investigation by the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, and we want to assure you that it will be investigated thoroughly, beginning with interviews of witnesses,” the statement said.
