- Video captured the moment young business owners were targeted in a racist rant by a neighbor in Altadena. The owners of Ka-Ibigan coffee cart had set up their business outside their home on Mount Curve Avenue after receiving permits to open up shop.
The shop serves drinks inspired by Filipino and Mexican fusion flavors. The cart was only open for a few days when on July 8, a male neighbor suddenly approached them and began yelling at the entrepreneurs in a racist rant.
KTLA's Sandra Mitchell reports on July 9, 2024.

He only apologized because he was publicly shamed. He still feels that way.
Definitely. He only picked on them because they're Asian. Had the ladies been white or black, he wouldn't say a word.
So does anyone else who publicly apologizes for any misdeeds.
sorry he got caught
😂
@@BajatheChickenMan not usually. I publicly apologized one time because I flipped someone off that I shouldn't have and so I went to our community Facebook page and wrote an apology and posted it. I don't think anyone had ever done that because people were really surprised (and happy).
If you have a problem with the Coffee Cart, yelling at the young women is not the way to solve it.
Ya like it or not, it is FREE SPEECH.
Neither is calling the police apparently.
Yea that’s true but some people are just stressed out and don’t know how to control their expressions or emotions so then this happens.
i like my neighbors to setup food trucks in my neighborhood, so I don't have to drive anywhere to get food at cheaper prices
Ha! Food trucks around here charge as much as any brick and mortar restaurant. And of course, want tips on top of that.
@@AmandaTexas lower the prices or i m calling the cops
@@AmandaTexas I know right? Like, you don't pay for worker's comp, business insurance, office lease, or any taxes from the revenue because you only accept cash to avoid taxes.
One would think, ok, then why not pass on the savings to the customers?
NOPE ! They charge just as much as brick and mortar shops !!! Tips to boot !!! The nerve...
Since when we’re food trucks ever cheap.
@@SlimJim-bw3ib Food trucks are a business, so why would you think they don't pay for worker's comp, business insurance, and taxes?
If i did that in my neighborhood id be shut down.
Yeah it’s really kind of ridiculous, who tf sets up shop on a residential street 🤦🏼♀️
Everybody in the comment section was so excited for the racist comments, but got disappointed.
I’m not excited to here it, it’s just wild to put a guy on news for his racist rant, then have no clips of him saying anything racial , and the witness didn’ quote anything racial …. What I want is proof .
Right? What was the racist part? Or was it just because he's white? I'm genuinely curious.
Not trying to defend the guy, as his outfit totally matches someone who would say something racist/goofy, or perhaps he really did and they just decided not to show it, or maybe he didn't, who knows. But at least the media could've clarified that in the story if that was the case, it's not that hard to add "comment was inappropriate so we won't show the actual video". The title is totally misleading, because neither the guy nor the women said anything about racial comments. Just another day of click baiting by the media in our country, they tend to make everything racial for no reason. Believe it or not, one time I saw two white guys arguing and they were calling each other racists. We are living in an interesting world.
@@rnav36 exactly, the media trying to make stupid comments "racist" 🙄 😒 we gotta know what was said nowadays
I swear, SGV has some of most rampant racists in all of LA
and many of them are ‘mexican’!
Soooooo..... where was the racist part?
click bait
There was this white guy.
Since he came back and apologized, no need to listen to it.🤷🏽♂️
Him being white
@@marcyslaoal1364 yuuup!
I don't agree with what he did....but what did he say that was racist?
More like sexist than racist with the whole house comment from the old man.
because he was a white male and had conflict. Instantly labeled racist

You don't yell racist rants. But I do agree that residential and commercial zoning should be distinguishable. Bringing extra vehicle traffic were there might be children, cyclist, and noise ordinance. Breaks all those restrictions.
Neighborhood watch groups in the past. Would make sure people in the past didn't loiter if they didn't belong. Now with giving people the free-with-all. You end up with people surveillancing homes for robberies.
Hope your business does well!
Giving people gardia and dysentery from the driveway of a house you're squatting in isn't a business.
@@canavanibusgross I bet your right
I need to hear the "racist rant". I am not hearing it.
Wow, he should hold the news station accountable for saying he was a racist
He's wyte, they're not, that's all you need to know.
They edited out the racist rant. The reporter said they wouldn't show it.
@@theotheleo6830 so how do we know then? Just believe them?
Exactly sue the f out of those things with their horse getup and the news! He needs to get an attorney now and sue them!
@@nachc6459 I don’t believe anything these liberal news say
If the business take off, the cars parking from customers could be annoying.
How do you get a permit to start a business selling coffee on a regular basis from your driveway in a residential district?
Yup! Would not want this in my neighborhood 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@rafael2661 I would and apparently, so do their patrons.
Yea that was interesting to me too.
And before anyone lacks the ability to think, just imagine if EVERYONE did this.
You're looking at traffic congestion in a residential neighborhood.
You can't pull out of your driveway, your kids can't play outside due to constatn traffic, lots of customers from all over making noise, etc etc.
Sure this ONE coffee shop, whatever. I personally woudln't mind.
But again, if you have an ounce of brain power, think about the POTENTIAL of what can happen if EVERYONE does it.
Laws exist for a reason.
@theotheleo6830 Nope, they only interviewed a few self-righteous wokesters, most of that neighborhood would not agree with this nonsense.
@@SlimJim-bw3ibthe neighborhoods will be fine Karen.
They beep the racists part out.
FREE SPEECH LIKE IT OR NOT WEIRDO CALIFORNIA!
Right. I would like to know what they are claiming is racist?
did they? or maybe it never happened
@@guyfawkesuThe1the freedom of speech amendment is to protect free speech, press, assembly and the right to petition but it does have limitations. Such categories are incitement, defamation, fraud, obscenity, child pornography, fighting words, and threats. Racial slurs are past the protected rights of free speech.
Or they are lying about what he said. Street vendors trash neighborhoods.
I thought opening up a business in residential area are illegal
Are illegal 😂
Obviously you thought wrong since the police showed up and determined no crime was committed.
I live in a suburban area in Illinois and people are allowed to open businesses in their homes. A family down the street have a beauty salon they run out of their home.
I looked it up and it’s perfectly legal. Maybe that residential area is the same.
Lol so ice cream trucks never sold ice cream in your neighborhood? Think this through even though that’s extremely difficult for you.
Probably not this one. Since it's on wheels, it's probably the equivalent of an ice-cream truck.
That's what I thought too but the reporting shows they got a permit, watch the video.
So I mean whatever. If they go through the proper channels, what can you do.
It's similar to a food truck, and they're legal.
How is it racist?
Go get a coffee and ask them.
He's wyte, they're not, that's all you need to know.
The reporter said they're not going to show his racist rant.

You people really should stay away from every single 24 hour news network. It just makes you more angry and is bad for your heart.
I understand this man. Call me a Karen DGAF. No food or beverages should be sold in residential streets
I guess you haven't been in Culver City, downtown La , and the hood!
it’s allowed in those areas because the residents don’t h ave the means to push back and push back HARD !!!
THANK YOU !!! i don’t wanna see a street vendor anywhere near MY HOUSE !!!
What did he say that was racists?
Nothing. That's the news channel's narrative, always!
@@jenjen88toros67
Lol then why did he apologize?
We don't know because they didn't show us his whole rant.
@@ricr7289 the lady telling what he said didn't mention anything racist 🤷♀ The news and their headlines cannot be trusted, they need to get views.
@@IceLynnethen why did he apologize?
His rants and actions are questionable, but I wouldn't want some indie business traffic in front of my home in the middle of a neighborhood either. That cart wasnt there when those homeowners purchased their properties. Go to a park or busy street corner.
The man is right. How dare you shame him.
Do you not care about America?
Usual suspects
I understand with the man, imagine it happens in front of your house, of course you may upset too. This is a residential area unless the cafe keeps moving.
Having understanding means you also agree with his approach as well?
Its always the people that tell the story of how their great great grandparents came to this country with 35 cents and worked their way up who do the most complaining.
See this is what happens when you lower the vendor fees from $541 to $27. I support entrepreneurship but now that the fees have gone down to almost nothing, expect brick & mortar businesses to shut down and thousands of these street vendors to popup.
I agree, this will turn the neighborhood in to the third world country.
Nothing last 4ever.
now that everyone knows , it's going to be a free for all. 🤦♀
Just like most 3rd world countries.
So? Let people get ahead you racist!!
I wouldnt want any business opening up on my residential street so i kinda understand the old man being lil upset.
Sounds about wyte.
Why? The majority of people who drive down that street are the residents who live there so what is there to be afraid of?
These are the types of people that are not friendly neighbors they don’t support their neighbors or look out for each other, they like to nit pick and complain to the neighborhood board until they have it their way
Mexican here and I can't stand all these street vendors. Blocking sidewalks, just looks awful🤦
That’s what nobody is understanding why do something in a neighborhood when people worked hard to live there? Do it in front of the house of yours instead or something.
THANK YOU for speaking up
I am also sick of these vendors on the side of the roads all the time causing people to park illegally on the side of the streets it's a hazard
Everyone should open a business in their front yard on that street and see how that goes. I guess zoning laws are out the window just like the rest of the laws in ca
Agreed!
🎉❤ great story you GO GIRLS ✨✨🐉
KTLA click bait. Nothing rasist. If you're going to make such a claim then do your job and report.
Where the racist comments at? 😂😂
Wow, we don't need store fronts anymore. Just do what the rest of society does....and watch business shutter their doors.
Nothing racist. Shame on Ktla for Click bait
Just throw the word racist on an issue and see the support roll in and business increase. If this was set up in my neighborhood, I’d be pissed too.
Thank God u dont have the final say Karen. They got the proper permits and have the right to set up shop there so go cry somewhere else
As person of color I found nothing racist about this incident. Nice bait KTLA.
Was a slow news day or maybe the word racist is good for ratings and views 🤔
POC? What does that mean?
@@williamb.8059 Go find a progressive. They love saying it. They’ll tell you why it’s ok to say it.
Is that neighborhood zoned for mixed use?
lol. Wait a few months and you will see more and more of these setup causing traffic issues.
When everything is racist, nothing is racist.
PROTECTED FREE SPEECH.
What are they claiming as racist?
that’s the point. to water down actual racism …
@@guyfawkesuThe1not free speech. It's called HARASSMENT Mr. ALBINO!
@@Activethinker6378 FREE SPEECH. Do not like it? Move to Venezuela!
what did he say that was racist?
Not sure if they can operate in a residential area even with a permit, should be specific types of ocations that food trucks can setup in.
Where is the RACISM? Use it as clickbait?
Must be a slow day in news.
I didn't hear anything racist... He should sue KTLA for Libel...
What Race was he Bashing?
Who lets someone have a food truck in a residential neighborhood???
so what? have you ever left the USA and traveled? have you realized this is the normal in Japan, Thailand, Philippines? no? get out.

Kind of an odd location. Right in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
I think someone in the newsroom knows these girls and ginned up this story to get them free advertisement.
i think you’re right
quote the racist rant or change the title.
probably irritated w/ "illegal" street vendors while others stupidly pay to have a "legitimate" business ordained by the government.
have the ladies level their trailer.
is their cofvefe any good? you could have at least given them some screen time to talk about their business.
You would think a man in that age would have his emotions in control.
Oltadena. It’s ALTADENA.
I’m not surprised they’re protecting his identity, and it’s not because he went back to apologize either.
U racist? Probably..
@@grant1739 Yeah ok, stating the obvious about how the protective covering over this man by the media and entire societal structure in America makes ME the racist? All I can say is you’re funny. 😆
You want to go out to restaurants not restaurants to come to your house
Actually I would love to have a mobile restaurant it would be so convenient!!
RACIST BOOMER
How was this racist ?
Were you not paying attention, princess?
@OptimusOne 😂😂 don't get hurt mami
They did a good job of protecting the man’s identity and keep the actual footage of his words from the public so that people like yourself can sit confused by where the racism actually is displayed.
Because the news said so.
@@OptimusOne I pay attention. I think what the news tell me too.
OK, where was the racist part? What did he say that was racist? If ktla is gonna make accusations, provide proof.
As far as the guy being upset, some people just don't want everything that goes along with a business in their neighborhood, so I understand that. On the other hand, they did everything legally, so the guy is wrong calling it illegal. I do understand his frustration though. I would hate all the traffic that goes along with it to be next door to me. People, especially older people, seem to have a lot of anxiety about the destruction of residential neighborhoods with things such as ADUs (granny pads) and home businesses like this. That doesn't make them racist though. I personally wouldn't mind a coffee cart in my neighborhood.
I agree with you 1000%
He's wyte, they're not, that's all you need to know.
Then why did the man apologize?
The news often doesn't televise racist rants. That doesn't mean he didn't say anything racist.
If you are a white male then anything that you say that is negative is procived as racist if it is right or wrong to say it.
Why are people allowed to open up a bussiness right on a residential neighborhood?
Most neighbors don’t mind and they did everything legal Karen!
RACIST
Trying so damn hard to be a victim in this one.
What a pathetic story this isn't
No face, no audio. All because he apologized 😂😂the privilege is unreal
Old man just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Sounds like he needed a cup of brew to to his mind together.
100%
Hmm, sounds like an inside job. Heard the old dude is married to the young entrepreneur lol
Harrasing is also against the law up to 4 years in prison in California
That old guy just confused that business with all the illegal pop up businesses on the sidewalks, give him a break.
F that old guy. Who is he to yell and shame people for selling coffee
Fine, but why the racist rant?
@@undefeatedaj probably someone who owns a property in the neighborhood if I had to guess. But, F him right?
This wasn’t racism 😂😂😂😂 real racism is when the police arrest the black kids who sell candy outside of stores so they can afford uniforms for travel ball 😂😂
That's not racism either
He’s probably afraid it’ll be like LA wall to wall vendors
Nothing he said was racist. Geez
I guess you had to be there to hear everything he said.
But no one would have clicked on this if it didn't have a click-bait headline. They're desperate for views.
The reporter said that they're not going to show his racist rant. That's why you didn't hear him say anything racist; it was edited out.
Calm down maga trump lost
@@theotheleo6830the reporter said she wasn't going to show his face. Pull the wax out of your ears.
So…let’s get this right. These young folks are being entrepreneurial and providing a product that ‘you’ can purchase or not. On the flip side these young folks ARE NOT robbing, breaking in homes, doing street take overs and all matter of criminal activity and you gonna rant on them. Mind your own business. They have a BUSINESS LICENSE. Thanks for coming back and apologizing 👏
lmao those are the two options huh? Robbing or running a bum food cart. yeah sounds about right
They are likely violating zoning regulations designating areas exclusively for residential use.
Journalism gone bad -
No News KTLA
He didnt say anything racist lol
At this point, i feel like its a marketing strategy effective in america. Start a food or beverage truck then hire karen/ reeec*st to antogonize the business while on camera. Boom! Costumers line up to support ur new business.💀💀💀
Racist? How?
Turning a horse trailer into a food vending cart is pretty clever.
There is a guy who walks by my house with a cart selling corn for over 12 years. I think it's called elotes. $3 for a large cup for lunch is great. People complaining about food vendors near the house is crazy. I walk outside and grab some cheap food. Uber Eats with a tip is $20. He sold it for $1 back in the day.
I take it you don't have a car.
@@jameshall915 I have three cars
is that a converted horse trailer? that makes me a little concerned they're selling drinks out of a converted horse trailer, not a trailer made for food/drink sales not gonna lie. stainless steel is a lot easier to keep clean and sanitary, cold or hot rolled steel is more porous and harder to clean and sanitize. it does look very clean though, and they have the necessary permits and food handling training, so if the product is good and not overpriced I'd buy coffee there. Looks a lot cleaner than most kitchens I have been in when I worked for a restaurant dishwasher service company...
TIMES ARE HARD UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KARENS A ICED COFFEE ☕ SOUNDS GOOD RIGHT NOW 🤤
Not Karens, you have respect for the neighbors. Businesses are also suffering and have to go through proper channels and large expenses to maintain their brick and mortar business, but these peeps, nope
This wasn't a "Karen" try again next time
Ohh no 😂 he finger pointed them 😂😂😂😂
I'm all for it. As long as they don't present you with them tablets with preset TIPS from 20% 30%, 40%, plus more fees like they do at Starbucks and other coffee shops these days even at Subway, for making me a damn coffee and a sandwich. Do your business the right way and you won't lose customers.
they called the news only to get publicity…..
"We want you to know that we did not reveal the man's identity."
Wink-wink, nudge-nudge, as they stop blurring his face and he's _easily_ identifiable.
That old man has bodies buried in his crawlspace....that's why he apologized 😮😂
Please level your trailer!
What Karen?
@Zoolama34709 Their trailer is not level, it's hard to brew coffee, expresso when it's that way.
He's a good dude. Came back and apologized. We all make mistakes. He owned up to his and it is something we could all learn from.
I cast no stone.
Unhappy people all around us and some with diagnosed and or undiagnosed mental health issues. What's sad is how easily some people who have issues about one thing or another push their will on others. Live and let live. If you're so unhappy, either get help or keep it to yourself and let other people live their lives in peace.
In America, we have zoning regulations designating areas exclusively for residential use. This likely has been one of them.
Suspect is innocent.
“where are the BEARS” ❓
The most miserable people on Earth always in everyone business
Oh noooo hurtful words. What a joke of a news story.
the word racist is thrown around too lightly these days... So light that it actually doesn't have any weight... very watered down.
They are preparing food out of a trailer previously used for transporting horses. Yummy, yummy, yummy!
I understand. This is a neighborhood, not meant for a business on a side street. Until i hear what he actually said i dont find anything racist.
I don’t want that thing in my neighborhood. Should be illegal.
What about the ice cream truck? You would not want that?
Apparently it's not
Some people be jealous of other people’s dreams / businesses
@@sbsk2526 When you impose your dream on other people's lives It becomes a scheme Just as the adults that were brought to the United States illegally Now they became dreamers I believe they are schemers No respect for law and order You just do what you want and your country just turns into a third world country that people flee from
So how do you scam people? You sell the scam insurance? Do you own a restaurant full of rats, do you work for a corporate company that scams millions of people?
These Young Entrepreneurs have a proper permit/license so what's the beef with that old man?
What did he say that was racist?
When did you lose empathy?
But what’s exactly the racist thing that he said???
If he would just talk to them first before assuming. Don' blame him because there are many no-permit stands all over the area.
The person apologized 😊
There's always suckers willing to pay for over priced coffee with artificial ingredients
He approached it wrong but imagine a bunch of customers in a quiet neighborhood then cats parked everywhere and if other people do this the whole street becomes a bazaar?
looks like ktla decided to give this ‘business’ some free publicity. IF this man went off on these people for setting up shop down the street from his house in a RESIDENTIAL neighborhood, he was right!! NOBODY wants to live in an area where random carts are set up to sell a bunch of nonsense. go to a farmers market for that
