A video featuring a woman in Beverly Hills, California, hurling racial slurs at a Mexican valet has become viral on the social media platform X.
In the footage, the woman, Florence Mirsky, approaches a valet station in a parking lot while referring to a valet who is capturing the event on video as a “wet bag.”

Mirsky shares a child with the renowned American record producer and songwriter, Scott Storch, who is credited on five Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles.
However, this incident raises significant concerns regarding racial discrimination in everyday interactions, because it highlights how such attitudes persist in society.
Although many might dismiss the episode as an isolated incident, it reflects broader social issues that cannot be ignored.

In the viral video, Mirsky goes on to say, “Trump is doing good things. You rape people. You guys rape and kill people.”
After paying the valet fee, Mirsky says, “I’m rich. You are poor.” “You are poor of soul,” the valet responds. She then abuses the valet and pushes aside the phone on which she was being recorded.
Later on Instagram, Mirsky gave more details about the incident. She alleged that the valet “grabbed” her from behind, and she lashed out and called him a “wet bag.”
Mirsky apologized for her action but said that she felt “violated” and should have called the police instead. “I’m the farthest thing from a racist,” she stressed, adding that her parents are immigrants, and she has “dated” Mexicans her “whole life.”
