The president of the Los Angeles City Council apologized after she and two other council members were caught using racist language while discussing a white colleague and his Black son, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Nury Martinez can be heard in leaked audio calling fellow council member Mike Bonin “that little bitch,” adding that he treated his adopted son like “an accessory.”
Later, she refers to the child as “su negrito,” a disparaging term for a Black person, and “ese changuito,” or that little monkey.
