Calling Americans racist is not a new thing for 'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin (who can say pretty racist things herself).
Her proof? Her 'lived experience' and her son walking on the beach in Florida, being called the 'N-word.'
Sunny Hostin says on The View that most Americans are racist:

She proves this by saying that her son was "called the N-word several times" while walking at the beach in Florida.

Given her history, Twitter/X users are very skeptical.

So much doubt.
It's not like Hostin has a history of saying outrageous, made up things, like this: the US has its own version of Hamas.
Suuuure it does, Sunny.
@sunny , without video, it’s just an uncorroborated story told by a talking head with a view. Also, all Americans can dismiss unverified “lived experiences”
— The Doctor (@TennantRob) February 2, 2024
The 'lived experience' of many Americans is that racism -- if it exists -- exists in small, isolated areas. Somehow we're guessing Sunny will dismiss that, though.
Uh huh. With cameras everywhere these days, there's no way that wasn't caught on video on a public beach in Florida.

Everything is captured on video these days, so when it's not, we're skeptical it happened.
I'll take thinks that never happened for $500 Alex
— National Conservative (@NatCon2022) February 1, 2024
Yeah, we'll take that, too.
While I cannot dismiss anyone's lived experiences, it is NOT ok to claim & generalize an entire population based on individual incidents. Address issues of racism and discrimination on a case-by-case basis. Generalizing an entire country makes YOU the bad guy.

There are 340 million people in this country. If the experience is true, this does not mean 'most' of these people -- who Sunny has not and never will meet -- are somehow also racist.
This objectively did not happen.
— Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) February 1, 2024
And we should want this to not happen.
Imagine pretending people to hurl racial slurs at your kid to gain political clout or prove a point.

Exactly this.
When I first came to the United States, I was ignorant of its history. I didn’t think much outside of California, because it was where I always dreamed of being.
— Matthew Marsden (@matthewdmarsden) February 2, 2024
I bought the BS on the south being racist.
When I came here, I saw that was an abject lie. I found the most… https://t.co/xpgqygPxi8
What about his lived experience, Sunny?
This makes doubt she has ever been to a Florida beach https://t.co/NuIFTtCWUq
— disobey and live (@pigliondog) February 2, 2024
Or any beach in America, really.
.@Sunny and @JoyVBehar can sit on The View and smear millions of people on a daily basis. I made an equally offensive comment about my son (who does not exist) to prove how idiotic her comments were and my tweet was IMMEDIATELY hidden for hateful content. https://t.co/ky68fnnd7B pic.twitter.com/BZh00Na9K7

There's definitely a double standard.
"You can't dismiss my lived experience"
— The Amazing Critter Man 🇺🇸🐍 (@_CritterMan) February 2, 2024
Wanna bet? https://t.co/yZgFuQEbWJ
Yeah, that's a bet we'll take.
"Everyone is racist"

Oh, the irony.
I just did so I guess I actually can. It was pretty easy, too https://t.co/maNkX7DWRb
— The Dank Knight 🦇 (@capeandcowell) February 1, 2024
Really easy, frankly.
Sunny, your lived experience doesn’t prove that most Americans are racist. https://t.co/Ap3XA7WfGb pic.twitter.com/meOW5AoH5Q
— Ken (@Ken_FiveSolas) February 2, 2024
No, it doesn't.
I hope that @RonDeSantis and local Florida authorities contact Sunny and her son to investigate for criminal charges. The people who committed this hate crime should be prosecuted! https://t.co/g12EojZhz8
— Meredith Dake-O'Connor (@meredithdake) February 2, 2024
Wonder if Sunny would be on board with this?
BREAKING: I fully dismiss Sonny’s lived experience. https://t.co/HSMehVqIKB
— Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) February 2, 2024
You're not alone
The fact she chose Florida for this story makes it even funnier. https://t.co/g6twhL4vUG
— Brock (@BCJ166) February 2, 2024
Yeah, it does. Big, evil, racist Florida. Or something.
My lived experience is I could count one one hand how many times I’ve heard someone use the n word with any derogatory meaning, and have a few fingers left and being a white dude in multiple midwest states.. shouldn’t I have heard this more? Many “cling to guns and religion” here https://t.co/qpFyX3ZUfy
— bob meisterling (@Bob_Meisterling) February 2, 2024
Somehow, this lived experience will also be dismissed by Sunny.
This is so utterly predictable and exhausting. But at least people see it for what it is.
