An embarrassing video has emerged purporting to show a woman berating a Lyft driver for having a 'racist' bobblehead doll of a Hawaiian woman on his dash, and threatening to have him fired.

The video claims to show a woman referred to as 'AN' complaining in a nasal whine about the doll, which she says is racist because of the 'pillaging of, like, the continent of Hawaii.'

She then engages in a five-minute-long argument with the driver, who does his best to keep his cool.

Clip: A video purporting to show a Lyft passenger berating her driver over an 'offensive Hawaiian doll' has gone viral. The doll can be seen in this image; the camera is held on its side

Complaints: In the video the passenger, identified as 'AN,' repeatedly complains over the course of five minutes, telling the aggravated - but polite - driver to take the doll down

At the beginning, the driver assures AN, he didn't realize the doll - which isn't seen in the video - would be offensive to anyone.

'But, so, obviously, like, you as a white male, you are the least, like...' AN says, but is interrupted by the driver who complains she's judging him and assuming she knows where he's from.

'I'm just saying, like, perhaps you might be the person who is least hurt in this situation,' AN explains.

The driver later points out that he's Asian, but is challenged to explain exactly what his heritage is.

Judging: The driver is upset by the passenger's judgement of him. The doll is repeatedly referred to as a 'bobblehead' but, as seen here, it is a hula doll with a regular-sized head

Threats: At one point AN threatens to turn the driver in to 'the next Internet meme.' No faces are visible in the video, which was shot at night. No identities could be verified

Fights: Another passenger in the car, who doesn't appear to know AN, calls the conversation 'irrelevant,' apparently sparking AN's annoyance

AN continues to demand that the driver take down the doll because it 'offends' her, while he continues to stress that he's not trying to offend her

At one point he plaintively says, 'I don't know why my beautiful Lady Lola is offending you.'

She then laughs as she threatens to publish him on Gawker and make him into 'the next internet meme.'

Eventually her berating becomes so annoying that a second female passenger interrupts to complain that 'This whole conversation is irrelevant.'

AN - who appears to be sharing the car with a stranger - asks the girl's name; she says it's Jade.

Rude: Shortly after AN calls the driver 'rude,' shealso calls him a 'f*****g selfish dumba** idiot' - much to his surprise

Time to go: Aftee being insulted, the driver he asks her to get out - but she refuses, and tries (and fails) to goad him into calling the cops

Eventually, the driver, who has been keeping his voice calm throughout is called 'rude and entitled' by AN.

She also calls him a 'f*****g dumba** idiot,' which is the last straw.

He politely asks her to leave the car multiple times but she refuses and tries to goad him into calling the cops. Eventually she gets out and he drives off.

Lyft has been contacted for comment.

The original version of the video identifies the speaker by her name, but this has been obscured by Dailymail.com as it is shot at night with no visible faces, and her identity cannot be independently verified.

Out and over: Finally, AN gets out of the car (pictured) and it drives off. AN was identified in the original footage, but Dailymail.com could not independently verify her name
