A video has surfaced of a woman demanding that her son see a "white doctor" when the two went to a walk-in clinic in Mississauga, Ontario. The four-minute interaction, which was recorded by an eyewitness, captured a woman arguing with staff and patients as she repeatedly made her request for a specific type of medical professional.

"I would like to see a white doctor," the woman said to a clinic staff member in the waiting room as her 8-year-old son sat quietly beside her. When informed that a white pediatrician wouldn't be available until 4 p.m., she fired back, "You're telling me there's not one white doctor in this whole entire building?" The female ranted about waiting five and a half hours to see a "brown doctor" who couldn't help him with his chest pains. "He was not speaking English. His teeth were brown. I do not need his help," she added. 

As the altercation started to escalate, people in the waiting room begin chiming in, accusing the woman of being racist. Another woman could be heard confronting her over her remarks. "Your child clearly has more issues with you being his mother than him needing to see a doctor," she said. "You are extremely rude and racist." 

Clearly agitated, the woman started to question her white privilege before threatening to kill herself. "Oh my God, what type of horrible country do I live in?" she asked. "Being a white person in this country, I should just shoot myself." The incident never turned violent, and the woman was eventually escorted out of the waiting room.
