Man targets young business owners during racist rant in Altadena
Video captured the moment young business owners were targeted in a racist rant by a neighbor in Altadena. The owners of Ka-Ibigan coffee cart had set up their business outside their home on Mount Curve Avenue after receiving permits to open up shop.
The shop serves drinks inspired by Filipino and Mexican fusion flavors. The cart was only open for a few days when on July 8, a male neighbor suddenly approached them and began yelling at the entrepreneurs in a racist rant.
KTLA's Sandra Mitchell reports on July 9, 2024.

Not trying to defend the guy, as his outfit totally matches someone who would say something racist/goofy, or perhaps he really did and they just decided not to show it, or maybe he didn't, who knows. But at least the media could've clarified that in the story if that was the case, it's not that hard to add "comment was inappropriate so we won't show the actual video". The title is totally misleading, because neither the guy nor the women said anything about racial comments. Just another day of click baiting by the media in our country, they tend to make everything racial for no reason. Believe it or not, one time I saw two white guys arguing and they were calling each other racists. We are living in an interesting world.

Bringing extra vehicle traffic were there might be children, cyclist, and noise ordinance. Breaks all those restrictions. Neighborhood watch groups in the past. Would make sure people in the past didn't loiter if they didn't belong. Now with giving people the free-with-all. You end up with people surveillancing homes for robberies.

OK, where was the racist part? What did he say that was racist? If ktla is gonna make accusations, provide proof. As far as the guy being upset, some people just don't want everything that goes along with a business in their neighborhood, so I understand that. On the other hand, they did everything legally, so the guy is wrong calling it illegal. I do understand his frustration though. I would hate all the traffic that goes along with it to be next door to me. People, especially older people, seem to have a lot of anxiety about the destruction of residential neighborhoods with things such as ADUs (granny pads) and home businesses like this. That doesn't make them racist though. I personally wouldn't mind a coffee cart in my neighborhood.
