Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen was feeling less than sunny in California when a passerby screamed a racial slur at her, reports

The wife of the soulful John Legend was in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd when some stranger began screaming at her.
I dropped my sunglasses this AM on Santa Monica blvd and this seemingly normal looking dude screamed "fucking chinks always dropping shit"

Just goes to show you regardless of your social status, your outward and inner beauty and how diverse a state you live in, you’re not immune to racism.
Teigen took to social media to vent a response.
…like that's not even a stereotype. get your shit together. What a bad racist.

In case you’re wondering, there’s no doubt in Chrissy’s mind who the rant was directed at.
We were the only ones on the block and he screamed it from 5 feet away. Then when I acknowledged it he said "oh now the oriental can hear"

Anyhoo, that was my morning! If you see a guy in weho wearing a brown suit jacket and jeans, probably avoid eye contact.

Two celebrities came to Teigen’s defense. You can read about that in US Magazine
