A video showing a white couple trying to tear down an Aboriginal flag outside a family's home has emerged online.

The parents, two well-respected Aboriginal artists, had the flag flying on their white 4x4 outside their new home in Mildura, Victoria.

But their neighbours seemed to take serious issue with the emblem, with the man accusing them of 'being only 1 per cent Aboriginal'.

In shocking footage, the woman - referred to as 'Karen' - was seen aggressively trying to rip the flag from the car.

The Aboriginal man, Robby Wirramanda, filmed the incident, which was shared on Twitter by a family member. .

In the footage, already shared thousands of times on social media, the angry neighbour is seen standing next to the family's car wearing a white and red checkered shirt and a brown hat.

Mr Wirramanda is heard calmly saying: 'I sincerely hope that we don't have to talk again.'

He then turns the camera to film 'Karen' desperately tugging at the family's flag.

'Look at you, trying to rip my flag off. You're a drunken, f*****g bum,' he went on.

'It's too strong for you, Karen!'

Having given up with her effort to rip the flag, 'Karen' then says: 'Take this s**t down, it's a disgrace'.

The couple are understood to have walked onto the Wirramandas property in Mildura unannounced and started to berate the family.

As the shocking footage continued, Mr Wirramanda then calls 'Karen' a 'racist pig', to which the couple protest and insist she 'isn't racist'.

Despite saying she isn't racist, she then asked him: 'which half of you is Aborginal?'

The man - understood to her husband - then chimed in: 'Which 1 per cent of you is Aboriginal? Mate, you've got nothing in you that's Aboriginal.

'You make me laugh. You do some nice paintings and I respect that work. Don't get me wrong, I respect that work. But you claiming to be Aboriginal?

'You make me laugh. You really, really do. Because this is the problem with this country and so many people in this area and this country - people like you make a mockery of true Aboriginals.

'I have a lot of good Aboriginal friends that live in far-north Queensland and the Northern Territorial. They'd love to see you and come and give you a lecture on what Aboriginal is.'

Keeping his cool, Mr Wirramanda then wishes them goodnight saying: 'Good night Karen, good night Karen, good night Karen.'

'Karen' then replied: 'Go and live in your f*****g humpy down the river.'

The couple's child confirmed their parents had reported the incident to police and were looking for a lawyer.

They added that their three young brothers saw the exchange.

In a statement from his wife Jackie, which was posted online by their child, she said the family were 'sickened' by the incident.

'This happened to my family last night,' she said.

‘These racists behaved this way in front of my children. They entered our garage where I was painting and started their ugly racist rant. This is not the first time racism has reared its ugly head with these two either.

'I feel sickened, as does my family. Trying to stay positive right now. Thank you to everyone who has supported us at this time. I must say though, Robby stayed super calm throughout this disgusting racist rant. He is a legend in my eyes and also that in my sons.’
