Tech CEO Michael Lofthouse Steps Down After Being Filmed Hurling Racist Insults At An Asian Family in Restaurant

CARMEL VALLEY, Calif. (KGO) -- A Carmel Valley waitress wasn't having it when San Francisco tech CEO Michael Lofthouse went on a racist rant over the Fourth of July holiday weekend at Lucia restaurant. She stepped in and is now talking exclusively to ABC7 News.

Gennica Cochran's story is a real-life example of "What would you do?" Without giving it a thought, Cochran says she did what was right.

"Say that again," said Jordan Chan in a video that's now gone viral.

It was those words that caught Cochran's attention.

Lofthouse has continued to hurl more racist pejoratives and death threats to commenters on Instagram after issuing an apology to the family.

Evil, two-faced piece of shit.

He only apologizes because he got caught.

But he’s still a men drunk.

mean

Alcohol ain't to blame for his deep-seated racism.

Jeez...doesn’t this guy have ONE friend who can stop him from posting?!

97k? Damn, she cleaned up even better than the Starbucks mask guy.

R8 She deserves it. Much more than the asshole she's dealing with who has probably had everything in life handed to him and never been told 'no.'

I'm happy for her sudden windfall, all for just being a decent human being. It's tragically refreshing in this day and age
