Apologizing but still one of the least diverse places in LA.

They made up for the lack of black people with Armenians. Trust me.

All i saw in this city was armenians, russians, bmw, and mercedez cars. We mustve been the only mexicans working at the property.

[@aholesubs1557]

Since they admitted it by apologizing, they should be investigated by the FBI.

[@smokeweddingcake8654]

Why would they investigate themselves😂🤣

[@fabsagu5421]

Now it belongs to Armenians

How about an apology for present-day racism. The Armenian community has endured racism and gets the least publicity when it comes to racism.

[@laundrysauce234]

Man an apology is the first step forward.

[@yurz2ruly161]

Armenians have a history with black and Hispanic people. Only a certain few know what I'm taking about.

[@haibui6090]

Even if we can’t convict the culprit who did the crime. We are sending a message for future injustice and inequality practices. You are not untouchable. This nation is build on all citizens of this great nation are created equal. All will have a fair chance to better themselves without any restrictions. You will have your day if you keep on oppressing human beings. It’s just uncivilized and mean. It’s not right. Wrong.

Ridiculous

[@TruthSeeker30_]

Reparations‼️

[@reb1050]

I'm sorry, but I will NEVER apologize for something I had no part of doing. Why should I be held responsible for something my father or my grandfather did? If you are responsible for someone else's actions, then if they break the law, you should be punished along with them. That's just stupid.

[@3dheadcreeps87]

Cool. Good thing a city, not an individual person is doing this.

[@blacksheeptocashcow]

the fact that you feel personally attacked is hilarious but bizarre

[@briana.g.7412]

It was the city government that apologized.

[@brandonanaya8865]

You’re definitely a racist
