The ‘Karen’ also interrogated the woman about her home.

In a now-viral video, a racist and unmasked woman dubbed a “Karen” yells at an Asian family and tells them to “go back to China.”

The video, which was shared on Facebook on Friday, shows a woman accosting an Asian woman and her daughter in Fremont, California.

The Asian woman, identified only as Theresa in an ABC 7 News report, said the conversation started with no issues: “When she first introduced herself I said, ‘Oh, it’s so lovely to meet you.’”

But it went downhill from there. The woman interrogated Theresa about her home. “Whether or not I was a renter,” Theresa said. “She even told me how much my house cost.”

“Go back to China!”
“Fa**ot! F**ge p**ker!”

This is just 1 of 3 racist rants Theresa & her 10-year old daughter were subjected to yesterday.

I spoke exclusively w/mom & daughter today who say they don’t want the woman to be punished— but hope she gets help. #racism pic.twitter.com/i8weeLdW8W

The video shows the woman approaching Theresa with her phone in hand, yelling racist comments at Theresa and her 10-year-old.

The woman yells several times, “Go back to China!” Theresa, who was filming the incident, asks the woman to stop coming toward her because she isn’t wearing a mask.

Theresa and her daughter aren’t Chinese, exemplifying the woman’s racism. Anti-Asian racism and xenophobia have increased since the onset of COVID-19. People on Twitter are calling the incident a possible hate crime.

This Karen should be charged with #hatecrime & #childendangerment. Charging at a mom like that with her child without a mask continually even as she backs away. This is anything but the First Amendment.
