An Arizona woman was slapped for telling a Native American to “go back to Mexico,” local media TMZ reported Monday.
A white woman in her 40s and 50s rushed into a gas station in Phoenix, Arizona, demanding that they help her use the gas pump because it was apparently not working. Then he began to argue with a younger woman who was being attended at the counter, indicates the quoted medium.
The interaction was captured on video by client Gregg Conn, who shared it on Facebook. Conn said that before starting the recording, the white woman had said to the other, “Go back to your country.”
With the camera on, you can hear the younger woman saying that “Native Americans are from this country.” Then she says to the employee, “Don’t treat her as racist.”
The white woman responds by saying that she has to go “because you are not part of this.” And after returning to the counter, he asks, “Where are you from? Where were you born?”
“Where were you f *** born?”, The younger woman replies very annoyed. “I was born in America. Where are your ancestors from? They are not from this country.
“You better go back to Mexico”, answers the white woman.
The two women approach and face each other. The older one seems to push the younger one. And she reacts by slapping him on the cheek. The white woman leaves the establishment furious.
“In my opinion you deserved it,” Conn says to the white woman as he leaves. “She just defended herself.”
The owners of the store and gas station told TMZ that the white woman was not the manager of the place, as she had claimed during the discussion. They also assured that they will not be welcomed again in any of their establishments.
