Not all people from Arizona are stupid racist dumbasses, but the two young women starring in the now-infamous year-old Racist Arizona White Ladies video sure are. It was reposted recently on YouTube and viewed over 1.2 million times. Throughout this poorly-lit hate flick two young female Arizonans cheer on the anti-immigrant law SB1070, which has since been partially gutted by courts, and engage in racist name-calling and vile stereotyping, and issue horrid violent threats to their brown-skinned neighbors.
If you want a textbook example of why racial hatred should not be codified in laws, this is it. Don’t you think they felt empowered after a whole state government, and a famously bigoted porkish sheriff were wrongly allowed to racially profile brown skinned-people in Arizona?
Countless angry response videos by pissed-off pochas and pochos appeared, including a hilarious one from the webseries Undocumented and Awkward, their video is Episode 9
(See the whole series and more at DreamersAdrift.com )
And today, the alleged apology video has arrived, filled with excuses about being drunk, and being ignorant idiots and not knowing that posting a video on the Internet might be watched by a million people.
In the pleading apology video, the seemingly regretful “ladies” even make the cliché claim that “they have friends that are Mexicans,” and even have Mexican family members, who were horrified at their racist video rants, worthy of a KKK slumber party.
Apparently they caused a lot of grief to Arcadia High School in Scottsdale, AZ, which reportedly canceled a dance and increased security after it was rumored that the hater vidiots were from that school. (The school principal claims they are not in this just released statement.)
I hope their brown “friends” and their presumed Mexican-by-marriage relatives slapped them with big sandy Arizona chanclas. In their apology video, they claim to fear for their lives, and at the very least are sorry that they aired their vile outrageous racist views online. These muchachas are lucky they don’t have a brother-in-law named Machete.
They are in hiding, mostly behind horrible video quality and dorm room lighting. Judging by their apologies to the whole world, they might have learned that there is life outside of a gated community in Scottsdale. (Whoops, didn’t mean to stereotype!) I also hope they learned that racism in just plain wrong, and that smearing a whole ethnic group, whether it’s undocumented immigrants or middle-class Arizona white girls, is wrong no matter how many YouTube hits you get.

If they didn’t get caught, I highly doubt they’d be sorry. I don’t believe they are “not racist” for a moment. I’m Mexican married into a white family. My husband has some dumb shit cousins who spout similarly ignorant shit like these idiot kids. I can assure you their “Mexican family members” don’t consider these punk ass bitches their family. Puhlease, the thought of my husband’s cousins using me as their token brown family member to dismiss their racist remarks makes me sick to my stomach. They should’ve mentioned that people shouldn’t be judged by their legal status either. All this is proof that all high schools need to be taking Mexican American studies.
I totally agree with you.
Heh. Even in the excuse video, they refer to “illegals.”
@Gabacho. Usually someone that is here illegally can be referred to as “illegal”. Using the word “illegals” doesnt indicate racism.
Perhaps in certain situations you are correct; however, choosing to use the word “illegal” does indicate the speaker’s negative bias toward undocumented people. It’s important to be critical of this word because it frames our thinking and our conversations on the topic.
While I certainly do not expect for this video to change your negative bias it should help you realize how the term “illegal” serves to dehumanize undocumented people. http://colorlines.com/droptheiword/blog/drop-the-i-word-friday-friend-9-year-old-sam.html
Now for a moment, be honest with yourself about how the word “illegal” is used in popular culture. The term “illegal” has become code for Mexican people. In my opinion, it is very naive to deny the racist undertones in the use of the word “illegal”.
I think it’s funny how people applause this stuff.
Because… “White people” didn’t discover America first.
If they hadn’t copied ship styles off of the Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish, they would have never crossed these seas.
Americans got here first?
Bull crap.
The Spanish and Portuguese discovered America before the English did.
I’m fifteen and I even know that crap.
And I bet a billion that girl wouldn’t dare go up to a man and blow his head off with a shot gun.
I can’t wait to see these girls get a husband that sees this YouTube video they made.
And even though they said that about Jesus, it doesn’t hurt people that much anymore.
WE’RE USED TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU SAYING THAT.
If this was for educational purposes, they wouldn’t use such profanity.
The apology is my favorite thing. Can someone please make a music video of it.
Haha I totally agree .!
“The Spanish and Portuguese discovered America before the English did.”
The Spanish and Portuguese, in the early days of America, were white. White isn’t so much a race as it is a skin color. A lot of people in Portugal and Spain had light skin back in the old days and they’ve still got it today. Traditionally now when people do refer to white people, they refer to the English settlers who came to Virginia back in the 16th/17th Century.
“If this was for educational purposes, they wouldn’t use such profanity.”
That’s not the original video, that’s the repost. The original video was taken down a while ago – it was made last year to a couple years ago, I’m not sure when exactly it was put up -, along with the girls’ account, but not before someone downloaded the video they made. The “educational purposes” bit is so people can see that it is possible to still be that stupid in this day and age.
Native americans discovered America first
stand up to those bitches dnt let them diss us like that
Ethically speaking you don’t get “away” with such racist ignorance and hatred just by saying you “actually do” have relatives that are brown, black, yellow or purple, with or without green card, fluent in english or not. But the “getting away” they are truly worried about here is no actual problem, of course, they don’t even have anything to “get away” from: they’ll put this behind them as easily as any ignorant asshole with social status puts anything behind them and carrys on in their life plan.
Quote. “People blame us for wanting them to get the fuck out of the country. Excuse us for wanting to improve our boder patrol. I don’t see other states … uh … contributing.”
Contributing to what???? Now it’s every other country’s universal duty to contribute to US maintaining their so “leigitimate” national border? Sure! Perhaps these ladies should ask the IMF for funds in the name of their KKK territory, since it is such a vital matter for them not to have to run across the people they shit on everyday.
And now we have to feel sorry for their trauma, i.e., the trauma of having recorded a video that reveals their actual ideas but that they should not have made public because the people they hate actualy DO exist around them. OUPS! Obviously “comparable” to any trauma lived by people they consider like animals…
They “feel threatened for their lives.” Perhaps they should ask for political asylum, and make sure they don’t have to wait in line with illegals and traitors in the process…
Totally with you sister!
I am puerto rican and it took me ten years to become legal but I did the crap jobs getting paid way less than legals. These girls have absolutely no right to post anything. Where are there parents? And what is there say about these young girls actions? I have family who are Caucasian and they have a young girl about 19, now who I am close with and she, even impaired would never insult or talk down to anybody. Her parents had respect for everyone so who Re raising these little brats? Maybe they should be sent away if they have such a big problem, and than see how they think. What people don’t understand is for a family to pick up and leave everything Nd go to a different country and to be somewhere where u may not speak the language and start a whole new life, it must be super bad. And than for them to take all bs like from these girls they must of had no choice but to start over. That’s A racial crime and I could say a whole lot Bout ” white people” but I have respect for everyone no matter what they look like or their situation
im pretty sure that they were not 100% sincere
Alright dumbass for one if you guys were smart enough and paid attention in social studies you would know Indians discoverd our lands first so one you guys shouldn’t be saying shit because most indians are Mexican and they were here first so if anything they should be making a video of your dumbass and im white and black and you guys are white trash bitches and the girl on the left you talk with a lisp so you are the one sounding like a dumbass and your probably the one holding back classes because when you say something know one knows what the fuck your saying oh and about the butt shaking yea again you guys are white trash because most girls that do that are white and they do it for money you dumbs brads and one the fat girl that was in the video she shouldn’t say shit because she’s fat and eats McDonald like every other fucking day she needs to go to taco bell where there some vegetables in the food so she could slim down and hopefully be able to one day get laid or something I already know there girl on the left wont because of that dumb lisp my best friends Mexican and he does none of that so grow up and stop being a dumbass
I ask you, who DOESN’T feel bad for us white folks getting all racist, and then whining about how WE are the victim???

sorry not 3.5 billion 63.5 Billion
These girls are pretty lame & racist … which is very sad for them. Most racist are people who have either not grown up and “matured” in life … or they are people who have never traveled to any foreign countries. Thankfully most Millenials are well traveled and very open-minded about race, different World cultures, Gays … etc., etc.! Appearently these two girls have a lot of growing up to do. This World is huge with over 187 member countries in the United Nations … a global community of nations… trying to live in peace and friendship with one another.
When I was growing up in Bacliff, Texas during the 1960′s … my only Mexican American neighbors were the Gonzales … a real nice family … but because I was pretty young at the time… I too … was indoctrinated with racism towards African-Americans & Hispanics. And Ernest … who was several years older than me … well most of the kids in the neighborhood treated Earnest like a leper … a nobody! And he was a nice boy … who needed “friendship” … but I treated him like a leper, too. Later on after moving to LaPorte, Texas … and attending a more racially diverse school… where I got to learn from other races and cultures … well later on Ernest was murdered in the Harris County Jail … by the racist Harris County cop-goons!
After Earnest was dead & gone I felt guilty about how I treated him as if he were a nothing … a nobody … and I could’nt go back in time and be a friend to him … Earnest was gone forever! At age 55 years old … I have real sorrow in my heart … about how I did’nt treat Earnest with human dignity, kindness, and respect.
My advice to these dumb girls … Jan Brewer … and the rest of the Republican Hate-mongers in Arizona … is they ought to make a pilgrimage to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC … or to the one in LA … and while they are at it … they should watch the movie “Escape From Sobibor”. Hatred begins with words … and always ends in the ovens & gas chambers of Aushiwitz.

Wow, that’s a crazy story. I think a lot of people have similar experiences and as they grow older realize the grossness of their childhood behavior. I definitely do not blame you or any other kids who make this mistake, rather the adults who need to talk to their kids about acceptance and tolerance.
Found this interesting article tonight about how to teach kids about racism:
http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/02/here_are_easy_ways_to_have_tough_talks_with_young_kids_about_race.html
This is the best comment I have read. Sorry about the sorrow in your heart, but I’m sure you have made it up somewhere else.
I’m sorry but they deserve EVERYTHING coming to them. The ONLY reason they are sorry is because they got caught. Their video was evil at a whole different level.
Regardless of what they say, they cant take anything back.
In my opinion, I feel these two girls were young and ignorant, at the time, to the consequences of these particular actions. I’m sure they are well aware of it now. Unfortunately, this will follow them for the remainder of their lives. Hopefully they learned from this and are educated on tact. Everyone has the right to their beliefs regarding this particular issue, however an intellegent person would speak on the valid points of why they feel the way they do and stay away from the racsist antics.
Honestly I can’t help but feel bad for these little girls because they will always have to prove themselves as respectable/responsible citizens due to an idiotic action they commited as little girls.
Too be quite honest, the racist comments didn’t bother me too much (mostly because I veiwed these females as ignorant little girls who for some reason don’t know any better); however the wayyyyy out of line comment in reference to Jesus was the most off putting to me.
I am South African and I came across this discussion after watching the original video. I would like to add some words of advise to both sides of this heated debate. The problem is not illegal immigrants or job losses, its the lack of reason and understanding on the part of all that are involved, borders are imagery lines and have nothing to do with humanity. Don’t let the fairy tale that is your national identity and flag overrun your humanity. People have been migrating from place to place looking for better means of SURVIVAL from the days of the caveman. It is stupid to try and claim a piece of the earth as yours simply because some text book tells you some story, you are not the owner of anything on this planet(mexican,white,black,nazi…) you and me are subject to the will of whatever created us, not the other way around. Americans and most of the “developed” world have this attitude about owning and claiming territory purely because they have made that very territory good to live in by ravaging the very immigrants they are now claiming are pests. Be HUMAN, god forbid yellow stone park erupts tomorrow, where would these spoilt lost beings run to? The moon? No, their neighbors. Don’t buy into nationalism and gang mentality, it only leads to nazism and shame for all of us.
Totally agree!
I hate the illegal Mexicans who come into our country, live of the government and expect our schools to teach their kids English. Fuck you Mexicans. FUCK YOU.
Very suspicious name…I suspect you are white and somehow think that labeling yourself as being non-white somehow frees you from being labeled a bigot in regards to your idiotic comments. Either way, it’s quite obvious that you make more assumptions than you have actual knowledge of the subject. Go to college because it’s obvious by your statement and writing that you are uneducated.
these girls are ignorant they don’t even know how Arizona got its name! it was originally called ARIZUMA.the Aztecs and the Native Americans came up with.
Not all Mexican immigrants are browned skinned. I’m Mexican American i have the light skin, blue eyes but i have brown hair. i think that American society and out parent who were raised ignorant have been taught that loving ur own race is good but its not if you dnt love other races u have no chance of loving your self or loving another race.
Why is it that the word “Illegal” refers only to “Mexicans?” There are Illegals from all parts of the world here and they all have to learn English… I’m an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and I’ve had students from all over the world.
Illegals get referred to as Mexicans because Canadians don’t jump our boarders, they’re not idiots (:
What Kgosi said. Eloquently put.
Unlike a lot of the low-brow namecalling that passes for commentary on this post (I’m looking at you, Non white girl)
The real problem with immigration in the U.S. is that the system is so broken that it can take 10 to 15 years for people to pursue it legally – even if they manage to get into the system.
Everyone else is hungry for work and a better life for their families, and they’re willing to do hard labor that the vast majority of Americans wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole. They’d love to migrate legally and become U.S. citizens, but the system is so thoroughly broken they’d rather risk their lives crossing our borders illegally.
It’s pretty much an indictment of how horribly the U.S. government has botched immigration in the past couple of decades.
CROSSING BORDERS!
If you cross the North Korean border illegally you get 12 years hard labor.
If you cross the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely.
If you cross the Afghan border illegally, you get shot.
If you cross the Saudi Arabian border illegally you will be jailed.
If you cross the Chinese border illegally you may never be heard from again.
If you cross the Venezuelan border illegally you will be branded a spy and your fate will be sealed.
If you cross the Mexican border illegally you will jailed for two years.
If you cross the Cuban border illegally you will be thrown into political prison to rot.
BUT if you cross the United States border illegally you get:
1 – A job
2 – A driver’s license
3 – A Social Security card
4 – Welfare
5 – Food stamps
6 – Credit cards
7 – Subsidized rent or a loan to buy a house
8 – Free education
9 – Free health care
10 – A lobbyist in Washington
11 – Billions of dollars in public documents printed in your language
12 – Millions of servicemen and women who are willing to – and do – die
for your right to the ways and means of our @#$%—-ution
13 – And the right to carry the flag of your country – the one you walked
out on – while you call America racist and protest that you don’t get
enough respect.
Yeah that seems real fair doesn’t it. They way they done it was wrong, I don’t threaten and I don’t hate. But at the same Time I don’t respect Illegal immigrants. Hate all you want, Tell me I’m wrong, but if you had millions of white people marching across your border daily… You’d no longer feel that is was your home, rather than a team meet for white people. So get the fuck over it…
LMAO, a “team meet”? What ever do you mean by that…if anything the U.S. is a “team meet” for white people already!
Based on your logic, what do you suppose we do with white people in the United States? If the undocumented people who came here declared it legal the same way white folks have declard their presence here legal; will that make it legitimate to you?
Face it, you should just be happy the native people were much kinder and humane than you are to others. Claiming that you were here first or that you are here legally is a fucking joke. You don’t belong here anymore than any other person, so you get the fuck over it.
Well put Daisy.
I thought that if you crossed an ocean I mean border illegally you get a whole damn continent to claim as your own.
Oh wait! But, the Portuguese, Spaniards, and English… didn’t they come here Illegally too?
btw killing and torturing the Natives to take over their land.
Hey thanks, by posting a video of some ugly asshole Arizona stuck up bitches hating on Mexicans (I’m Cuban but to them it was all one big thing) you basically just saved me the money and hassle of having to go back to Phoenix for my high school reunion!
Ok, I lied. There was no way in hell I was going to my reunion and deal with these kinds of people again anyway.
It’s sad that racism still exist.
“If this was still Rome….”
Wow.
We have the same Jesus so your going to hell
I agree with Pablo…
and Jesus was not blonde and blue-eyed. I visited his homeland and I’m pretty sure his skin was brown like most of his descendants that still live there.
The post made by “a white girl” literally just made me ashamed of my own race. I am a white female and I am engaged to a Mexican man. It’s ridiculous how people can be! As a white person I receive racist comments from white people because I have chosen to be with a Mexican person. I get called a “race traitor” because I love someone who is a different color than I am. And I will admit, 90% of the racism I encounter that is directed toward my relationship is made by white people. There will occasionally be harsh comments made by Hispanics but not to the same degree. I have family members who are disapproving of my relationship, specifically an uncle, who has never and will never meet my fiance because of comments he’s made, such as if I still hold myself if the respect of a white woman or if I have “lowered myself to a mexican” I couldn’t believe it! I kindly told him that when I look at people I don’t see only a color and base that on their value and that I’m sorry he can’t seem to do the same. Anyone who has anything negative to say isn’t welcome into my life, my uncle being one of those people. I haven’t received any comments from my fiances family, thankfully, but those of his friends who can’t except it have been removed from his group of friends. Some of my friends and family say I’m trying to become Mexican because I learned to speak Spanish and I have learned to cook Mexican food. I am not trying to be Mexican, I don’t see a problem with trying to be apart of my future husbands culture. He speaks fluent Spanish, and it’s important for our kids to speak Spanish and me as well, how else would I speak to his family members that don’t speak English, such as his mom. People don’t understand that life isn’t cut and dry, people choose to live their lives differently and that’s no one else’s position to judge! Also I want to say I understand that it is not easy to learn another language, I hate it when Americans tell Hispanics “you’re in our country! Speak our language!” I think that is so rude, in high school my fiances younger sister went to the same school I did (my fiance and I were then dating) and she constantly had problems with girls calling her a “wetback”. I used to be criticized because I would speak Spanish to her at school, people would say your white, speak English! I feel for all the Hispanics who receive hate. Color makes no difference to me. My brother in law is African American, I have an African American niece, I have 2 half mexican nephews, and I count my fiances sisters as my own sisters; I can’t wait for the day that people realize race doesn’t matter!
