U. Michigan student caught on video berating Uber driver: ‘Minimum wage fa**ot!’

“An interesting look into the mindset that the millennial university experience breeds,” writes The Michigan Review’s Derek Magill about University of Michigan student Josh Croman’s tirade against Uber driver Artur Zawada.

Indeed it is.

After Uber’s Zawada canceled Croman and company’s ride for previous bad behavior, Croman wasted no time belittling him,  including a homophobic insult:

–“Minimum wage faggot.”
–“They (the University) don’t give a shit about you … (I) spend the most money here.”
–“Fuck you Arthur, you little faggot fuck.”
–“You have to work all day? I’m going to go sit on my ass and watch some TV!”

Magill adds:

The leader of the group, wearing clothing indicative of a rich daddy, had some rather unlettered words for the driver […]

Observe what he said again: “(I) spend the most money here.”

This is, of course, a lie.

His college tuition is paid for either by A) his parents (who have achieved a success he will likely never reach) and/or B) a student loan (which he’ll likely never pay off).

If A, he’s a hypocrite and a parasite. If B, he’s an idiot who will one day after graduation, indebted beyond belief, realize that the Uber drive he mocked has a higher standard of living than he does.

Observe also his closing: “You have to work all day? I’m going to go sit on my ass and watch some TV!”

Observe the egregious sense of entitlement and elitism displayed by this twenty-something year old who has accomplished nothing and done nothing in his life and yet thinks he is superior to anybody who has a job that doesn’t require a degree from the University of Michigan.

The Review reports its Executive Editor Hunter Swogger “will be following up with a report on accusations of anti-Semitism against [Zawada].”

A U. Michigan spokesperson said “We are extremely disappointed in the behavior depicted in this video. No one should be treated with such disrespect.”

A spokesperson for Croman’s fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon, added “Depending on the details of [an] investigation, [disciplinary action] could include the expulsion of membership.”
