WATCH | LA civil rights, religious leaders say apologies on racist remarks 'not enough' It's unclear if Martinez will be vacating her council seat, or if she is just stepping down in her role as president.In it, Martinez was heard referring to Councilman Mike Bonin's Black son by a racist slur in Spanish and referring to his misbehavior during a parade by remarking "This kid needs a beatdown."The remarks were made during a conversation involving Councilman Gil Cedillo, de León and L.A. County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera focusing on the politically sensitive process of redrawing council district boundaries.Among other comments, Martinez belittled Bonin, who is white and has a Black son, and criticized the child for his behavior at a Martin Luther King Day parade, saying Bonin's son was misbehaving on a float, which might have tipped over if she and the other women on the float didn't step in to "parent this kid."Cedillo, who was present for the conversation but was not reported to have made any offensive remarks himself, issued an apology for not intervening: "I want to start by apologizing."
