A disturbing confrontation erupted at a Minneapolis restaurant this week when a woman (read Racist Karen) launched into a profanity-laced tirade before physically assaulting employees by throwing coins at them. The incident, which was caught on camera and shared widely on Reddit, unfolded in the Phillips neighborhood.
The brief video shows the woman growing increasingly agitated over what appears to be a wait for her food. At one point, she yells, “I’ve got kids in the car!” before hurling coins at the restaurant staff. While the footage cuts off shortly after the assault, the audio captures the woman berating employees with escalating hostility. Her remarks reportedly included a reference to calling ICE. Never appropriate under any circumstance, it was particularly chilling given she is raging in front of a mural that reads “Make Tacos Not Walls.”
“She dropped the ICE line as the ‘Make Tacos Not Walls’ backdrop comes into view. Cinematic,” wrote one commenter, summing up the bitter irony of the moment.
Witnesses in the thread were quick to condemn her behavior. One user, icantbelieveiclicked, didn’t hold back: “Racist ass pig.” Another observed, “If waiting 15 minutes really sets her off that bad, I can’t imagine how the rest of her day goes.”
What stood out even more than her vitriol was her attire. Multiple commenters referenced her revealing and ill-fitting red dress, which drew both ridicule and concern. “Ma’am, your vagina is hanging out,” wrote one user bluntly, while another joked, “She assaulted my eyes with her fupa.”
Fashion critiques aside, the main focus of the backlash was her aggressive and discriminatory behavior. “Someone needs to throw coins at her and call it an assault,” another Redditor pointed out, highlighting the imbalance in how such actions are perceived depending on who is involved.
The location of the incident adds another layer to the outrage. “This happened… in the same neighborhood where George Floyd was murdered,” the original poster noted, emphasizing how the woman’s racial hostility echoed through a place still marked by tragedy and ongoing calls for justice.
As of now, there has been no public statement from the restaurant, and it’s unclear if charges have been filed. But the video has already served its purpose, spotlighting how quickly entitlement can escalate into outright racism, and how the internet remains a place where bad behavior rarely escapes scrutiny.
