In a video that was posted by the Asian American couple on TikTok and later deleted, Sandra and Roger Miller allegedly hurled racist slurs and blamed the couple for the coronavirus pandemic at an outdoor shopping mall in Newport Beach.
A California teacher was fired and her husband, a city official, was placed on leave after video footage of their racist, anti-Asian tirade against another couple went viral over the weekend, according to reports.
The white couple allegedly continued to talk loud enough for the couple to hear, saying, “Those Chinese spreading COVID.” “I love that we are not their country, right?” Sandra Miller said as she awkwardly walked away in her heeled boots alongside her husband. “I love that we are not communism. I love that very much. Where am I supposed to be?”“Yeah, we’re not even Chinese, by the way,” the man added.“America is a free country!” Sandra Miller shouted. “Go back to China!”
She wasn’t alone in being reprimanded. Roger Miller was ultimately placed on administrative leave from his job as Coronado’s director of recreation and golf services., saying that the viral video was being investigated and that Miller would be on leave until the probe was concluded.
