A White woman was charged Friday with hate crimes in Pennsylvania for directing an anti-immigrant rant at a Hispanic pizza shop owner that has since gone viral.
In the clip, a White woman can be seen berating a Latino owner of the pizza joint and claiming that he is an illegal immigrant.
“You wanna have Spanish on your TV?” the woman said. “You’re not American, dude. I will look you the f— up and get you the f— out of our town.” The woman then says that “I’m not giving my money to some illegal immigrant … You’re in America. You’re supposed to learn English.” The woman eventually addresses the store employee who is filming her. The employee calls the woman racist, and the woman takes out her own phone to record the employee.
In Pennsylvania, the crime of ethnic intimidation is a third-degree misdemeanor. It can result in an offender serving anywhere from six months to a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.
