A video of a woman verbally attacking a Latino man and his mother for being Mexican has gone viral.
In the video, a woman goes on an anti-immigrant rant using racial slurs and even sticks her middle finger in Esteban Guzman’s face.
Guzman, a U.S. citizen born and raised in California, says he and his mother were working in a yard in Running Springs when a woman started yelling insults at them.
She calls them “rapists” and “animals.”
“Why do you hate us?” Guzman asks the woman.
“Because you’re Mexicans,” she replies.
The woman also said, “even the President of the United States says you’re a rapist.”
Guzman spoke with CNN after the video, posted on Twitter by his friend, went viral. He told them he won’t let the woman deter him from standing up for himself, his mother and the people that “don’t have a voice in this country.”
