Russian term or phrase: Ты для меня не человек
Тут девушка намекает на то, что человек приезжий плюс восточной национальности, поэтому она его не считает человеком. Вот это место в ролике: https://youtu.be/53WbKPqgbdQ?t=5m26s

Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести правильно. У меня есть вариант, но я в нем совсем не уверен.

Explanation:
Or, "You're a piece of low-life scum." And "для меня" is implicit, just like everything else for her.

agree  Lazyt3ch: It seems to me the girl is comparing the man to a dumb animal, while “low-life scum” is probably equivalent to “подонок” or “мразь” (please correct me if I’m wrong). P.S. Thank you for your explanation. However, I think that the connotation is different.

  -> "Low-life" - "a lower form of life," i.e., not human. So, I think it fits. "Scum" is just an add-on, since "low-life" usually goes with a noun. I just can't see this lady uttering some prim and formal statement like "In my view, you are less than human."
