The videoā€™s only 23 seconds, but itā€™s got a racist comment, spitting, a middle finger, and mockery.

A video shared to Twitter on Monday shows a traffic stop confrontation where a Florida man tells another driver to ā€œgo back to wherever you came fromā€ before spitting toward him and mocking him.

Featured Video

The video, shared from the Fifty Shades of Whey account on Twitter, appears to repurpose a TikTok video from Tampa-based Dylan Zuniga, though the video doesnā€™t currently appear to be on his page.

The 23-second video starts with the man, sitting in a van next to the vehicle where the videoā€™s being recorded from saying, ā€œGo back to whatever you came from!ā€

The person in the other car, presumably Zuniga (based on the voice on his other solo TikTok videos), says, ā€œAnd what else?ā€ in response. The man turns away, but holds a middle finger aloft to the other car.

The car then moves forward, with the person shooting the video appearing to be trying to get another look at the man. Itā€™s then that the man spits out his open window toward the car, and the person appearing to be Zuniga saying, ā€œWhoa, you just spit on me!ā€

Thereā€™s then an obvious edit, followed by the person appearing to be Zuniga asking, ā€œGo back to my country?ā€ and the man saying, ā€œYeah, go back to your country?ā€

Zuniga then tells the man, ā€œIā€™m way happier than you. I can look in your face that your family hates you ā€¦ youā€™re miserable ā€¦ I can see it in your face.ā€

The man then maintains, ā€œI never spit at you,ā€ which Zuniga answers by saying, ā€œI got it on video, brother.ā€

The man then repeats that line to him, gesticulating wildly as he does so. (It looks as though the man might be, uncomfortably, giving his impression of how someone ā€œgangstaā€ might speak.)

The man then drives away, telling him, ā€œI hope you get in an accident on the way home.ā€

Respondents predictably dunked on the man, and by extension, the entirety of Florida.

Adam Dzurilla noted, ā€œFlorida people who mostly moved from some other state always telling people to go back to where they came from is the hilarious Florida Man material that never ends. I used to live in that dumpster fire of a state and am so glad I have no reason to ever go back there.ā€

Laura Hennessey pledged, ā€œI am no longer going to drop tourist dollars in Florida. I will be going to PA and GA to vacation.ā€

Yet another, commenting on the exhibition of racism in the video, noted, opined, ā€œThat is the face of violent racism based insanity. That alone should qualify for a psychiatric hold & evaluation, after he is charged because spitting is assault.ā€

Then, for emphasis, the tweeter added, ā€œGross.ā€
