An online video showing a tour guide speaking and pointing out sights in San Francisco has quickly gone viral and not for a good reason.

The focus of the video is not the sights but is instead the female guide who went on a profanity-laden rant. Many angry viewers consider her speech about Chinatown racist.

As part of the rant, the woman said "[bleep] your your pre-schools … making all that noise at 6 a.m. … [bleep] your salons ... [bleep your seafood markets, with your little turtles and frogs inside — OK? Here in America, we don’t eat turtles and frogs.”

Some of the passengers onboard the bus clapped at her rant, but it's unclear at this time if they didn’t understand her or actually agreed with what she was stating. The woman told everyone to steer clear of San Francisco’s Chinatown if they are considering moving to the city and said Chinatown in Los Angeles was better.

The title of the video which was posted to YouTube, notes that the date of the incident was the woman’s last day of work.

Officials from the tour company City Sightseeing San Francisco have since apologized for the staffer’s behavior. It was also confirmed by the business that it was indeed the female’s last day of employment at the time of the rant.
