WATCH: Woman screams at Hispanic family for playing 'Mexican' music in the park [View all]

May 25, 2020
By Brad Reed



A white woman this week was caught on camera screaming at a Hispanic family in a park because they were not playing “American music.”

In the video, the woman can be seen confronting the family and chiding them for playing what she described as “Mexican” music during their outing in the park.

One of the men in the park objected to her tirade and informed her that “we’re not Mexican.”

snip

“Then play American music!” she screamed back at them, as a man who had come to the park with her tried to pull her away. “Play American music!”

I don't approve of the "Karen" either, but this despicable, entitled behavior has to be outed.
