There are more and more incidents with a racist tone - against Hispanics - that are documented and disclosed through social networks.
A doctor from San Bernardino, California is being singled out after the family of a Spanish-speaking patient accused him of making racist comments.
Yuset Galura was accompanying his 67-year-old mother, María Ramírez, to a cardiology appointment at Pulse Cardiology on Thursday when Dr. Paul Ryan began to criticize Ramírez for speaking Spanish.
Galura recorded the consequences of the incident on his cell phone.
“You don't need to do anything more than tell me if something is wrong with her. If she is fine, if not, I will translate for my mother. You don't need to tell me that she needs to learn English,”Galura is heard saying to Ryan in the video, which she later shared on Facebook and went viral.
"It's not the same," says Ryan in response.
"As soon as the doctor entered the room, she asked him if he spoke Spanish and that was all it took for him to insult her for speaking Spanish, being in this country and not knowing his language," Galura told KTLA..
Galura says she hopes sharing the video will “unmask the doctor,” which she believes has nothing to do with medicine.
Since then, a large number of people have visited the Pulse Cardiology Yelp page to post their own negative experiences with Ryan, as well as to express their outrage over the video and accuse the doctor of racism.
Pulse Cardiology said Ryan is currently not treating patients while they investigate the incident.
"The reported incident does not reflect the values of Pulse's physicians, assistants and administrators," the practice said in a statement Monday. "Since its inception three years ago as Inland Empire's premier cardiology practice, Pulse has proudly served all patients, regardless of nationality, with diverse staff who speak multiple languages, including Spanish."
