The video shows the moment a woman (seen here) hurled racial slurs at a Latino family for having a Colorado pool party, set in a luxurious apartment complex where she lives.
People are now branding the woman a ‘racist Karen’, after the filmed incident eventually turned physical and garnered over 1 million views in a matter of hours. Police are called to the scene, but it is unclear if she was arrested.
“Yes, that’s true,” the bikini-clad woman is heard saying in the widely viewed clip, visibly upset by the group’s presence. ‘You’re having a fucking Mexican pool party.’
At this point, the woman approaches the woman she is filming, before physically approaching her.
You can not do that. You can’t just record me,’ the woman says, before slamming the phone out of the hands of the person she’s filming.
Before that, an additional comment is heard from the app’s voice feature calling the woman ‘racist Karen’, while an accompanying caption asks social media users to help identify her.
The spliced footage then cuts to what is supposed to be a few minutes later, with the woman now being held down by a male member of her own group on one of the pool loungers.
As this happens, he continues to berate the family for his presence.
Several proceed to surround and argue with the woman, all while she continues to yell as she tries to confront the now angry group.
Amid the commotion, she can still be heard uttering xenophobic statements, such as ‘Fuck you’. and ‘go back to Denver’
The woman proceeds to scream and scream for almost the entire duration of the video, which is just under a minute long.
Asked to get out of the pool by one of the victims, she was heard replying that she lives in Lakewood, the affluent suburb where the resort is located.
At one point, she is heard angrily telling the family, who had been having a poolside party, “I live here, you came from nowhere you low-class sludge.”
The video then cuts to a shot of at least three police officers arriving on the scene.
They are seen talking to the woman and the man who had been holding her down, though the clip cuts out before the arrest is made.

Social media users are now banding together to identify the woman, after the TikTok user who shared the video urged them to do so.
“Let’s go find her! Of course, she was making racial comments all day, even pointing at our children at parties saying ‘when they grow up they will be garbage too’”, wrote Jade Serie.
The TikToker added about the woman’s behavior: “According to this Karen, all Mexicans are lower class. I hope this video is found by your coworkers, family and friends. Acting like this at a family barbecue with children is absolutely disgusting.
