Woman goes on racist tirade at Asian woman working out in the park (video contains profanity)

This happened Wednesday, June 10, 2020 in a park in Torrance, California.
Thinking about it, I guess it's possible this woman has a mental problem, but it sounds to me it's just out and out racism.

And laughing about "you can go to a gym" remark.

Don't know about CA, but not here in NC yet.

We never really even had a first wave, but it's coming now I'm afraid.

Then you add the social distancing and economic shock of the pandemic, and there are a lot of people who are bonkers with no filters.

But she went just a little too far off the edge.

In the full video, you see the older woman nearly clip the younger woman at the heels when she (older woman) walked down the steps - she made a sharp turn to cut the young woman’s step-back.

Just a miserable human being and racist. “We don’t play games here anymore” is quite telling. She’s got license to intimidate with Trump in the White House.

something wrong with that woman. Doesn't mean she ain't also a racist but that was just nonsensical.

just looked it up today after learning this on fb - even now, almost 65 years after i was born, the city's black population is only 2.2%. In the 70's they refused federal transportation funds because they would have had to hire minorities.

When I was about 12, a black family moved into our neighborhood. They lasted about 9 months. I moved out at 17 and as far as I know that neighborhood still doesn't have a black family living in it.

They have a great Farmers Market there on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. Lots of vendors and amazing peaches and apricots are now coming in!!! Soooo good So sweet.

Found the first corn there on Saturday, most excellent!!!


The screaming women clearly is angry at a lot of things besides someone not quite blocking the stairs.

Gyms are not open yet in LA County...
