The victim in the Lindsay Lohan nightclub fight tells TMZ ... Lohan hurled a racial slur at her moments before the brawl ... calling her a "f**king Gypsy."
TMZ spoke with Tiffany Mitchell -- a well-known psychic who was at club Avenue with a friend Wednesday night when Lohan walked in.
Tiffany tells us ... she had a premonition about Lohan and approached her inside the club to offer her a free reading ... but Lohan turned her down saying, "Give me my space."
As she walked away, Tiffany's friend says she heard Lohan call her a "f**king Gypsy" ... and it set her off.
We're told the friend went ballistic -- unloading a bunch of insults back at Lohan ... calling her a "whore" and telling her "Liz & Dick sucked."
At that point, Lohan lost her cool and socked the psychic in the eye ... and all hell broke loose inside the club. Lohan was eventually arrested for assault.
Tiffany's husband tells TMZ, "We are not Gypsies. That has nothing to do with our religion ... it was a racist comment."
He adds, "Just because your career went down the drain and your new movie sucks, you can't go around beating people up."
As for the connection to Max from "The Wanted" -- we're told Tiffany DID have a convo with the heartthrob earlier in the evening ... but it was just a friendly conversation and Lindsay had nothing to be jealous about.

I'm not saying I haven't met any Caribbeans who have issues with Afro roots, but what is this hostility I am sensing in your comment? I haven't said a negative thing about ANY Hispanic group and you decide to shit on mine. Fuck you. I could mention the fact that Mexican soap operas will have you believe their women are all tall slim blondes with green eyes... right...
Funny how you didn't choose dark skinned people for the Mexican group, and forgot to mention that there are plenty of blonde/blue-eyed Cubans, as well.
Most Hispanic countries, barring a couple smaller ones, have an incredibly diverse "look" because of the slave-trade, indigenous peoples, and European settlement.
Slow your roll with the Caribbean hate, it's showing.

THERE THAT's EXACTLY THE COMMENT I WAS WAITING FOR. THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING IT!
That's the typical Caribbean Latino comment. They desperately want to be European, and I have no clue why. It would be nice for more of you to embrace who you are.
Sadly, I don't think that will ever happen. If I had a nickel for every Cuban or PR that came up to me claiming to be Italian... I will never understand the shame.
There is NOTHING WRONG with saying that BOTH Cubans AND Mexicans come in various shades, and to assume otherwise makes you seem like you like you hate for no reason.
Whereas Afro-Latinos from Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico refuse to accept their African heritage. Will claim Taino before anything else.
You know everything I'm commenting is true. It's been this way for years and I don't see that changing ever.

Because as a Cuban American who lives in Miami... the mecca for Cubans, I have never in my life heard anyone claim to be Taino. No one can claim to be 1/18 Taino like gringos do with Cherokee blood, because they were exterminated so fucking long ago, and none survived that that blood would not be remotely strong enough to ever be something to gloat about.
As for accepting African heritage, the fact that every Cuban and their mother thinks that the Yoruba religion is real and very powerful is pretty accepting. As for skin color, I've met some incredibly racist Cubans and I've met Cubans who proclaim that their black blood gives them the best body.
My problem with what you are saying is that you are generalizing Cubans as self-hating because of their Afro roots, and I'm telling you that the majority isn't actually like that. You are coming across as the person who has hate in them, not us.
Oh you marvelous troll, you!
As Possevi said, I don't get offended by being mistaken as Columbian, Mexican, etc. I get offended because people are fucking idiots and want to have an input in my ethnicity. I am a tall Cuban American with grey/blue eyes and I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK. You have no idea how many Cubans rudely say "Ay pero look like a gringa!" I shake it off because people like that are ignorant. If you want to be like them. Fine by me.
You stating that people from certain countries like Cuba or Mexico look a certain way is fucking stupid.
I don't know if killed your puppy when you were a child but you really need to fucking open your mind a little bit and accept the possibility that there are also white people in the Caribbean and people of color in Mexico.

If you read Possevi's original comment you'd see they were the ones that said they didn't look the same. I was just agreeing. So jump down their throat for stating that instead of gunning for me.
If you read the rest of my comments you will see that I make a point to say that most Hispanics come in every fucking shade.
Also being called white is not the same thing as being called the wrong minority nationality.
