A New York woman was filmed using racial slurs against a group of Asian people before calling them “human traffickers.”
A person from the group shared the video online with the text, “Mamdani do something I’m just tryna eat some prince st pizza,” written over it. The video began with the woman standing in front of the group and dusting off her pants. She then sat at a table across from them and began harassing them.
The video showed the woman filming the group before using a racial slur. “I don’t [expletive] with those [n-word],” she said. She then added, “We’re white.” Some viewers, however, claimed that she sounded Hispanic. The woman continued harassing the group before making more serious accusations.
After using the racial slur, the woman claimed that the group was responsible for taking her people into prostitution. She then called them “human traffickers” while continuing to film them. The woman repeated the accusation before using the N-word again and saying that she was not Italian. The video continued as she made more accusations and spoke into her phone.
The person who shared the video also left a comment providing more details about the incident. “We sat down with our pizza, she says ‘I’m not Italian’, we say okay and she says we’re trafficking her people so I start recording her and she pulls out her phone and starts talking into it and saying all that stuff. She calls us Italians and then the n word and we are Asian,” they wrote. They also said that the group eventually had to leave because they feared the woman might attack them. It remained unclear why the woman behaved this way toward the group.
