Woman Who Really Hates Mexican Flag Loses Her Job Over Hatred Of Mexican Flag
A Southern California woman is out of a job and facing death threats after she used her cell phone to videotape an encounter with a homeowner over a Mexican flag flying in the homeowner’s front yard — and published the video on YouTube.
“You know we live in America right?” Capps then says. “This is the United States. So, why are you flying a Mexican flag in your front yard?”
She then suggests that the woman behind the window “move to Mexico if you want to fly your Mexican flag.”
“Does that make sense?”
Capps also maintains in the video that the homeowners could face municipal fines for flying a Mexican flag in the United States. However, an attorney for Ontario, Calif. has since strenuously denied that assertion.
Banuelos’s husband, Sigifredo Banuelos, who does speak some English, said the homeowners fly the flag to celebrate their Mexican heritage. They also have an American flag, he noted.
“I don’t think it’s offensive because this flag doesn’t do anything,” he told CBS Los Angeles.
Obviously, the flag bothered Capps.
“I was offended,” she told the station. “I was pretty upset. But I couldn’t understand her.”
The YouTube video has become something of a viral sensation. It was been viewed over 165,000 times as of Friday night.
The results of the viral video have been highly adverse for Capps. Her employer, real estate giant Coldwell Banker, has sacked her.
