A California woman faced backlash online after allegedly telling a group of Hispanic people to ‘go back to Mexico’ before openly describing herself as racist.
Online claims placed the incident at Lincoln Market in Escondido. A Hispanic woman involved in the incident filmed the encounter. The video began with the lady speaking in Spanish while recording the woman, who appeared to challenge the group by saying, “Let’s do this.”
The lady continued speaking in Spanish, seemingly explaining that the woman had called them Mexicans, although this remains unconfirmed. The woman then appeared to pull out a small object that online posters described as a pocketknife before saying, ‘You think I’m [expletive] playing?’
The woman proceeded to tell the group, “Get the [expletive] out of here.” The lady switched to English and began shouting that the woman had called her Mexican and told her to “go back to Mexico.” Rather than deny the accusation, the woman responded, “I’m racist.”
After the woman made the statement, the lady repeatedly told her, “You are. You are racist.” The woman doubled down, saying, “I am. I’m racist as [expletive].” The confrontation continued as the lady told her, “Get the [expletive] out of here.” The woman echoed the remark, moved closer to the lady’s face, and began challenging her by saying, “Do something. Do something.”
The video ended at that point, leaving it unclear whether the confrontation escalated further or whether police became involved. It is also unclear what initially triggered the confrontation.
Viewers Outraged Over California Woman’s Behavior
Many viewers criticized the California woman for her behavior toward the Hispanic group, particularly her willingness to openly admit that she was racist. “Uncalled for…they did nothing to her cray cray butt,” one person wrote.
Other viewers continued criticizing the woman, while one commenter reflected on the country’s divisions, saying, ‘America is a deeply divided country. We weren’t born to hate, we were taught to hate.’
What happened before the recording began remains unclear, but the woman made little effort to dispute the accusation of racism once the camera was rolling. Instead, she repeatedly described herself as racist as the confrontation became increasingly heated before the video abruptly ended.
