A woman has been caught on camera in a shocking racist rant against another woman and her son.
Belinda Panelo, 44, recorded the offensive tirade on Tuesday while running errands in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Playa Vista with her son.
'What are you? He doesn't even look human. OK, get off our street. You do not belong in Playa Vista,' screamed the woman, who had not been identified.

She said she and her son talked about race and history when they returned home.
'I will not have one incident make me think that everybody who was in that neighborhood was like that. Because it's not fair to generalize and we don't know if someone is suffering. If they have health issues,' she said.
