On Saturday, July 5, 2025, on Alfonso Reyes Street in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City, a woman was caught on video insulting a traffic officer of the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) with racist and classist expressions.
The officer was trying to place an immobilizer (“spider”) on her Mercedes-Benz vehicle for not paying the parking meter, but she became hysterical and started with the strong insults, while she was being recorded.
Details of the altercation
In the images, the woman, identified as Ximena Pichel, of Argentine nationality and resident in Mexico, utters insults such as “pinche negro” and “I hate black people like you, I hate you for being nacos” to the officer, who remains calm during the confrontation.
One of his sons even intervened to prevent the placement of the immobilizer.
The Secretariat of Public Safety publicly condemned the conduct of the motorist and endorsed the officer involved.
The Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City initiated an investigation for the discriminatory insults.
Impact on social networks; they call her ‘Lady Racist’.
The video quickly went viral on digital platforms, generating a wave of indignation and criticism of the woman’s behavior.
Users on social networks dubbed her “Lady Racist” and demanded legal sanctions for incurring in discriminatory acts.
Many people began to attack her through her social networks and taking out ‘her dirty laundry’ and her background, such as that she was a model, actress and has had other cases of fights with neighbors.
Discrimination in Mexico: A persistent problem
This incident highlights the latent racism and classism in Mexican society.
According to INEGI’s National Survey on Discrimination (ENADIS) 2022, 35.6% of the Afro-descendant population and 28% of the indigenous population reported having suffered discrimination, mainly because of their skin tone and way of dressing.
