Can't wait for her tearful apology when she loses her job.

[GrammyChristine]

Why didn’t anyone take this family’s side? What’s wrong with people… stand up for what’s right!

[lancecahill]

Hopefully, her employer, her neighbors and her friends (if she has any) will see this video and find out who she really is: an unhinged and terrible person.

IF SHE BEHAVED LIKE THIS IN THE UK, SHE WOULD BE ARRESTED FOR RACIAL HARASSMENT.

It doesn't matter if people are American or not. No one should be justified insulting someone's ethnicity. That is the definition of racism.

[elizabelleg]

She’s the one who’s crazy! How embarrassing. And why isn’t anyone stepping in and telling her to be quiet.? Glad this went viral. Racism and violence will not be tolerated.

[CyrissZyonn]

That lady is a disgrace to American people. Sorry they had to go through that experience. It is really disturbing.

As a black man it’s cracking me up for people to learn that some people can be extremely hateful and racist. We’ve only been saying that for about 450 years. NOW you believe it….

man thats crap that only 1 person on that whole bus stood up for this family against this racist. "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing"

alright internet, you know what to do.

[reason]

The story here isn't the racist woman, it's that hardly anyone stood up for this American family. It's shameful.

[diannam]

Why aren’t bystanders shutting her down?! If I heard this BS in public, I would not be silent.

[samrah]

How dare you speak to someone's children like that?

[tamaramorton]

How awful! And it’s even worse that nobody else spoke up! I’m glad you shared this video because it helps to see someone act like that as a reminder that there are a lot of sick people out there in the world. She is definitely one of them. I’m so sorry that you and your family had to experience that.

Karen always got something to say until they get hit in the face 😂

[rachelmarie]

If she's working, I hope her employer sees this and fires her ASAP!

[cherylgocan]

2024 and this still goes on. Absolutely heartbreaking. So tired of racism.

[Farjah-qp]

That's how it started in Germany! No one saying anything.

[JenP-jf]

How embarrassing to behave like that, especially at her age. Gorgeous family.
