Michael Barajas, 28, said he started recording the incident after a white man got aggressive and falsely called him a "criminal."
A white couple blocked a young Mexican American man from entering the San Francisco apartment complex where he lives in, saying"they would not let a criminal into their complex as they needed to protect it."
"Given the current political climate, and certainly I'm Mexican American, and that rhetoric of us being criminals, it just hit hard, it hit close to home," Barajas told KNTV."That's fine. Call the cops. Why are you even calling the cops about, Karen?" the video shows Barajas responding. Story continuesThe white man in the video has been identified on social media as William"Hank" Beasley, who worked at Apex Systems, KNTV reported. The technology services company did not identify Beasley but said in a tweet that it had fired an employee after"an internal review of the incident" and will not tolerate violent or racist behavior.
Barajas, who grew up with an immigrant household in Compton, said he has"worked extremely hard" to afford his place, and now"I don't feel safe in my own home."
