Lipscombe, an Edmonton actor and film producer, responded to the racial slurs by walking up to the car, opening the passenger-side door and calmly speaking to the men inside. At the end of July, cyclist Bashir Mohamed posted a video on Facebook of a similar racist incident in the city's downtown. Racial attacks of this nature are commonplace in Edmonton, said Ahmed Abdulkadir, an Edmonton human rights activist. "These kind of incidents have been happening to the black community … I myself have experienced similar things." He instead wants the video to serve as an opportunity to start a conversation about race and diversity in Edmonton.
