identify the man in the video as Michael Lofthouse, the founder and CEO of a tech company called Solid8.

he interesting thing is that Lofthouse himself is an immigrant who moved to California from the U.K. and also has an Asian sister-in-law and a half-Asian niece. In a separate post on Instagram, Chan shared a screenshot of a comment posted by Lofthouse, in which he threatens to kill a user who called him out over his racist behavior at the restaurant.

to stand up and take care of her customers so fiercely. She didn't just tell him to get out, but told him he couldn't come back. She owned the situation and seemed to have no fear or even hesitation about doing it. Her bosses must be great.

Sociopath. And what is he even trying to say? "Trump's going to f you?"

I don't even understand what that means. His mannequin wife is a foreigner, too.
