An employee of the Hampton Inn hotel in North Carolina (USA) has been fired after a racist incident with a family who was staying at the establishment. The worker, whose identity has not been disclosed, called the police because a black female woman was using the pool .

In a nearly 10-minute video circulating on various social networks, the former employee can be seen approaching Anita Williams-Wrigt and her two children, together with two police officers, and questioning her to prove that she is a hotel guest.

"I feel that they are discriminating against me," says the woman in the video that she herself has shared to denounce the events. "I have a room here, and a key to prove it. I do not have to give my name, I have not violated the law," the African American woman argues with the agents.

In the video, Anita also tells how the employee only requests identification from her while other white people are in the pool and do not receive the same request. "There were two white people sitting there and they didn't tell them anything," explains Anita, who details how the employee reproaches her: "It's always people like you who use the pool without authorization." "Who are people like me?" Anita wonders immediately.

After the broadcast of the video, the hotel chain has sent a statement regretting what happened and ensuring that the employee has already been fired . In turn, she reaffirms her "commitment against racism or discrimination by her team."
