Despite the offensive language, Terrell remained composed as he captured the encounter on video, determined to expose the perpetrator's bigotry to the world.

"The man came walking towards me and started calling me a Hitler n****r," Terrell recounted in his video, visibly shaken by the encounter. "I apologize for the word, but I want to be as honest as possible."
