A young girl on Saturday (15) launched into a vile rant against a bus passenger telling him that he smells of curry.

Commuters were left horrified when the girl made racist remarks against a man on a bus in West London.

The girl started screaming at the passenger after her mother got into an argument with the bus driver.

The passenger reportedly became irritated by the girl’s behavior towards the bus driver, and asked her mother to restrain her. When her mother proceeded to dissuade her from shouting, the girl responds, “no let me hit.”

The girl then shouted at the man: “You smell of curry you dumb b**** go back to your f****** Southall slum!”

It is believed that the incident has not been reported to the police.

Racism is on the rise in the UK, and the percentage of people from Asian background reporting racial discrimination has increased since the EU referendum, a survey reveals.

The survey by Opinium showed that 71 per cent of people from ethnic minorities said they faced racial discrimination, compared to 58 per cent before the EU vote.

For the survey, 1,006 people from ethnic minorities in the UK were interviewed between 22 February and 14 March 2019.

In January 2016, 64 per cent from an ethnic minority said they had been targeted by a stranger, and that percentage increased to 76 in February this year.

As for bias on social media, 37 per cent of people saw racism on day-to-day basis at the end of 2016, but that has now risen to 50 per cent.
