Even as Kristen Nguyen recorded a customer directing racist and abusive comments at her, she didn’t plan to post the videos. She hoped that if the woman knew she was being recorded, the diatribe would end.
In one 28-second video captured June 13 inside King Cajun Crawfish restaurant on Mills Avenue in Orlando, Florida, Nguyen is heard telling the woman, “I got that on camera,” but the woman continued cursing and making noises meant to mock languages spoken in Asia.
In another 12-second clip, the woman tells Nguyen, who was born in Philadelphia and raised in Orlando, to “take your (expletive) back to your country.”
