This particular incident sparked national outrage after the offensive note left by a customer at a Mexican restaurant in Columbus, Ohio was made public.
Fabio Oribio, the restaurant’s marketing director, confirmed that the team reviewed security footage and determined that the note was written by a local customer.
According to Oribio, the woman may have been upset about the restaurant’s one-coupon-per-table policy or the long wait time during peak hours.
He also clarified that Ricardo has no record of poor service and that, despite his Latino heritage, he is a U.S. citizen by birth.
«This is not a place for hate,» Oribio stated.
«We are not taking sides in politics. We are a place where people come to enjoy themselves and have a good time.»
The woman responsible for the message was identified as Stephanie Lovins, a real estate agent in Columbus.
Following the backlash, her employer, Century 21, announced her termination.
«We are aware of the situation involving the agent in question. Hate has no place within the Century 21 brand, and we take this matter very seriously,» the company stated.
«We can confirm that this agent is no longer affiliated with our brand.»
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the U.S. regarding immigration and racism, as well as the power of social media in exposing discriminatory behavior.
