The security guard who was the victim of an alleged racist tirade in 91大黄鸭 is receiving support from all over, with the security firm he works for standing beside him.

In a series of tweets, Paladin Security said it completely supports the security officer, who they identified by his first name Anmol.

鈥淲e are so proud of the diversity within our company and the difference our people make every day in communities across Canada,鈥� the company鈥檚 tweet said.

The tweets came after a video made the rounds online of active protestor Bruce Orydzuk yelling racist comments at Anmol.
