A UPS driver who went on a racist rant while delivering a package to a Latino household in Milwaukee several days before Christmas Day has been terminated, a company spokesperson told NBC News on Tuesday.
Video caught by the home's doorbell camera on the evening of Dec. 17 shows a white man wearing a UPS uniform, standing on a porch while holding a package and writing what appears to be a "failed to deliver" notice.
Now you dont get f------ nothing...You cant read and write and speak the f------ English language," the UPS driver is seen saying as he pastes the notice in the home's door. A young Latino police officer lives in the house.
"UPS is huge, they're global and this serves for any other businesses that are delivering packages, you can't do that. You can't just look at a package and make these crazy assumptions," Shirley Aviles, the mother of the Latino officer who lives in the house, told NBC News by phone.
Due to privacy concerns, the name of the terminated UPS driver is not being disclosed.
