Woman Goes on Racist Tirade, City's Mayor Apologizes to Victims

Community leaders in Louisville, Kentucky, are condemning a racist rant by a shopper at a department store. The expletive-laced tirade was captured by another shopper inside a JC Penney’s at Jefferson Mall on Dec. 21. The video shows a white woman berating two Hispanic women at a register, alleging that one of them cut the line, and telling one of them to “go back to wherever you come from” among other insults. Louisville mayor Greg Fischer released a statement today, apologizing to the women and saying he was “sad and disappointed to see conduct like this.” JC Penney’s corporate office has also released a statement condemning the rant.
