According to a representative for the family, Kunes is the granddaughter of Gregg Kunes, the owner of Wisconsin-based Kunes Auto Group. Her father, Scott Kunes, was the former COO before leaving the company in February 2026.
In a separate incident in January of 2025, an Oak Creek woman said a racial slur was written on an oil change sticker placed on her vehicle following a service appointment. Kunes Auto Group fired the employee at the time.
Why do they act like this? Are they racist just to be mean, or have they legitimately had enough poor experiences with people of color that making fun of them makes sense?
Rich, entitled, racist brat.
“I didn’t know her skin color, but I figured fuck it I’m gonna do monkey noises because there’s a high percentage I would be right and offend someone” /s
Sure she didn’t see the skin color…
Lying while apologizing just means the apology is insincere.
It’s possible she’s telling the truth, but it still doesn’t make it right.
It definitely comes off like a cop out, an attempt to deflect some of the blame from her.
I’m sorry, as a white American, which I am, you’re not making exaggerated monkey noises and gestures without racist intentions, it’s like Elon Musk’s super freaking sincere Nazi salute, there should be no doubts about it based on the intensity of the action, and this girl and at least one other of the three leaned into that racist act.
The only acceptable use of exaggerated monkey gestures is if you’re trying to entertain a small child or trying to get a reaction from an actual ape at the zoo.(although still kinda racist in that regard)
You’re probably right.
