According to Sherry, "First, I would like to thank everyone for the outpour of support regarding the incident that occurred to me in the morning hours of June 10, 2020, in Wilson Park, Torrance, California.
"I never imagined that my story would reach so many people, and I am happy to know that it may shed some light on the work that needs to be done in this country.
"As a Filipino American, I believe that all people of color should be treated with humanity, dignity, and respect.
"I stand in solidarity with all oppressed people who face discrimination and violence just because of their ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender non-conformity, and séxual orientation. I hope my experience lends itself to the fight for justice and equality."
The viral video also earned support from other foreigners as well.
"What disgusting language and what a horrible human being this is, no excuse for this behaviour."
"Haha! I loved the way she handled the teenager comment. This lady is clearly racist, but is also mentally disturbed."
"I know that park! I used to live right by there. She was so patient. I love her little laugh at being called a teenager."
"Clearly something is wrong with the lady, no normal person, elderly or young, would do that to someone who is working out peacefully."
As of this writing, the video has already garnered over 907,000 views on Facebook.
