Arizona 'Karen' is slapped across the face after racist rant in which she yells at a Hispanic woman in gas station to 'go back to her country' (10 Pics)

A woman ended up being slapped across the face after she was caught on camera making racist remarks to another lady at an Arizona gas station.

The footage appeared to have been shot over the weekend inside a store in Phoenix.

The video starts with the woman walking inside the shop asking for help with a petrol pump that did not appear to be working.

A white woman was seen arguing in a gas station with a Hispanic woman 

Things escalated quickly and soon an argument broke out between her and the other female customer. 

The man recording the footage claims that he heard the woman whom he describes as a 'Karen' tell the Hispanic lady to 'go back to her country' before telling the clerk behind the register not to serve her. 

'Karen' is a slang term for a white woman perceived to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is considered reasonable.

The entire drama all builds up to a face-to-face confrontation which sees the two women shouting at each other before 'Karen' is seen shoving the woman.

It led to an immediate retaliation with the other woman defending herself and slapping her antagonist across the face. 

It ultimately led to her walking out of the shop while she rambles at the person filming to mind their own business.

Last month, another 'Karen' was shamed online after a black man recorded video of a white investment banker hysterically calling the police on him after he asked her to leash her dog in Central Park. 

Harvard graduate Christian Cooper, 57, had been bird watching in an area of the park known as The Ramble over the Memorial Day weekend when he saw Amy Cooper walking her unleashed dog that was ‘tearing through the plantings’.

After pointing out to Cooper that dogs must be leashed at all times to protect wildlife habitats, the 41-year-old quickly became irate, dialing 911 wailing that ‘an African American man is threatening my life’.

Last month, another 'Karen', 41-year-old Amy Cooper was shamed online after a black man recorded video of the white investment banker hysterically calling the police on him after he asked her to leash her dog in Central Park.

She has since issued an apology saying, ‘I was the one who was acting inappropriately’ and that ‘I hope that a few mortifying seconds in a lifetime of 40 years will not define me in his eyes.’

In the hours that followed the videos emergence, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio branded Cooper a ‘racist’ as outrage over the incident – commonly referred to as Central Park Karen – rippled out nationwide.

Cooper was terminated from her $170k-per-year role at as head of insurance investment solutions at Franklin Templeton shortly afterwards. A petition to ban her from Central Park for life also emerged, as did new legislation that would make falsely reporting an incident as a hate crime illegal from now on.

The incident, involving Amy Marie Cooper, 41, has been cited as yet another example of a white person weaponizing the police against a person of color
