The unidentified Lakewood woman could be heard complaining about the group – while calling them ‘trash’ and saying they should ‘go back down to Denver.’
Drawing a crowd of several people – and eventually police – the woman continues to shout and harass the family in the clip, at one point screaming ‘Get the f*** out.’
People are now branding the woman a ‘racist Karen’, after the filmed incident – which eventually got physical garnered more than 1million views in a matter of hours.

Cops were called to the scene, but it remains unclear if she was arrested.
‘Yes, it’s true,’ the bikini-clad is heard saying in the widely seen clip, visibly peeved by the group’s presence. ‘You have a f*****g Mexican party in a pool.’
At this point, the woman approaches the woman filming, before physically accosting her.
‘You can’t do that. You can’t just record me, ‘the woman says, before hitting the phone out of the hands of the person filming.
Before that, an added commentary from the app’s voice feature is heard branding the woman ‘racist Karen,’ while an accompanying caption asked social media users to help identify her.
The spliced footage then jumps to what is presumed to be a few minutes later, with the woman now being held down by a male member of her own party on one of the pool’s sun loungers.
As this is happening, she continues to reprimand the family over their presence.
Several proceed to surround and argue with the woman – all while she continues to shout while attempting to confront the now angry group.
Amid the commotion, she can still be heard uttering xenophobic statements, such as ‘Get the f**k out.’ and ‘go back down to Denver’
The woman proceeds to yell and shout for nearly the entire duration of the video, which is just under a minute long.
When asked by one of the victims to leave the pool herself, she is heard responding that she lives in Lakewood – the affluent suburb where the complex is set.
At one point she is heard angrily telling the family, who had been having a poolside bash: ‘I live here, nowhere you ever came from, you f****** low-class slime.’
The video then cuts to a shot of at least three police officers arriving on the scene.
They are seen talking to the woman and the man who had been holding her down, though the clip cuts out before any arrest is made.

An art dealer in Denver, meanwhile, has come forward to decry for the woman’s actions, describing her as a former employee without revealing her name
As of Friday morning, it remains unclear who called the police. DailyMail.com has reached out to the Lakewood Police Department for comment, but has not yet been able to confirm an arrest.
Social media users are now banding together to identify the woman – after the TikTok user who shared the video urged them to do so.
‘Let’s find her! Mind you, she was saying racial comments the whole day, even pointing out our parties children saying ‘when they grow up they will be trash too’, wrote Jade Serie.
The TikToker added of the woman’s behavior: ‘According to this Karen, all Mexicans are low class. I hope this video is found by her coworkers, family and friends. Acting like this at family BBQ with children is absolutely disgusting.’
Social media users, meanwhile, are continuing to share footage of the encounter.
