Anika Vassell told CTV Vancouver that she was parked in her car at W Broadway and Ontario Street in Vancouver on Thursday when an unknown woman tapped on her passenger side window. She asked Where are you from What country are you from ' and I told her that my parents are Jamaican and South African and she said, and you're that black ' Vassell recalled on Friday. I see that you are black and I see that you're not white so you are not like the rest of us, the stranger is heard saying in the video.
