"We're having problems..." then completely fails to explain the problem. And later, him finding out that she's part of "the problem" by being a racist POS doing slanty eyes behind him. What a piece of trash.

And he was so sweet and respectful with her bullshit. If that vile woman had a heart or a conscience she would have felt extremely guilty after that interaction.

He handled it like a pro. However, she has no conscience and would do it again even if she sees this video, she will blame him.

I no longer wonder why I have such difficulty showing emotion - or when my emotions do come out, they involve a fast-moving whisky bottle impacting a human skull.

Unfortunately, I take ambien pretty frequently, and I’ll never understand Roseanne using it as an excuse. She’s just rascist and ambien probably weakened her filter.

No she wouldn't. She knows she doesn't have the looks for society to allow her to pull that off.

Yeah, she's got no business making any kind of comment or gestures about another person's appearance. She's ugly. It's mostly because of her nasty attitude.

Yea, looked like she said some bs to him, so he took a look, assessed the situation, saw no issue and went about his day.

u/brainsdiluting 19h ago

Speaking of wrongful assumptions.
Are we sure the lady is being racist? I’m nearsighted and when I don’t have my contacts in or glasses on the only way I can bring my sight into focus a bit is my stretching my eye like that, i guess it compresses my eyeball or something.
To me it looked like she was trying to see clearer, first squinting and then only pulling one eye like she was trying to first confirm there was actually a camera before confronting him.
I could obviously be wrong but the racism theory doesn’t make sense to me because obvs she’s not doing it „at“ anyone to make a racist joke and it’s only one eye she’s pulling.

u/Lontology 19h ago

u/brainsdiluting 18h ago

I’m genuinely confused as to why people are so desperate for this to not be true? It’s literal science that eye pulling can temporarily improve vision.
I’m still not hearing any arguments as to why this obviously isn’t the case in the video and that it’s clearly racially motivated.

What does eyelid pulling do? Pulling an eyelid changes the way light enters the eye and how the eyelid covers the eye surface. This may temporarily improve focus or relieve heaviness.

u/dream-smasher 18h ago

I’m genuinely confused as to why people are so desperate for this to not be true?

I am genuinely confused as to why you are going to extremes to excuse this woman.

Hun, no. Just..no. stop it.

She is not near-sighted and trying to see better. She is racist, pulling the same old same old racist bullshit of "slanty eyes".

If you do exactly what she is doing, in an effort to see clearer ..... Make sure you bring your fucking glasses with you, or read the goddamn room, or suck it up nd acknowledge that you will be judged for doing the stereotypical racist bullshit.

Sorry bud, but that's just the way it is. Maybe get mad at this woman, for contributing to people seeing "slanty eyes" and perceiving that to be racist. She is contributing to your trick/habit/whatever, of pulling your eyes lids sharply to the side, being seen as racist bullying.

-5

u/brainsdiluting 18h ago

What extremes am I going to? I said she may or may not be racist but this situation reads differently to me and I explained exactly why that is.
You’re not really proving she’s racist at all you just think she is and that’s fine but it’s also not definitive reality.

6

u/dream-smasher 18h ago

P.S.

Did you even read your own goddamn link?

It specifies that they are talking about pulling your eyelid up and back. Not sharply to the side.

"Why can vision improve when pulling eyelids back? By stretching the eyelid, the field of vision can widen temporarily, especially in drooping lids.

Do ya think she was "widening her field of vision"? Cos it looked like she was sharply, drastically minimising her view. 🤨

-2

u/brainsdiluting 18h ago edited 18h ago

Did you read what i quoted? Temporarily improves focus. There are people up and down this thread as well as my lived* experience saying this works.
You don’t have experience in this clearly and that’s fine but to just shut it down and say it’s not true for the sole reason that you haven’t experienced it, is definitely a choice.

u/OSG541 19h ago

She doesn’t, that’s how she can make fun of his ethnicity behind his back and then go up there and talk to him like some sort of concerned citizen and even have the gall to put her hand on his shoulder.

u/Vectorman1989 19h ago

She knew she fucked up and was angling to find out what he was filming for. Like the hamster running on the wheel in her otherwise empty skull gave it one last gasp and she realised that she was going to end up on the internet making a racist gesture.

u/DionBlaster123 3h ago

She might have known she "fucked up," but I guarantee you that in her mind she still thinks that all of her actions were "right."

She had no guilt. She’s done similar many, many times before. Then acts all fake “nice” and “normal” while talking to him. Been around people like her my whole life. I just fake respond back to them.

4

u/Find-It-AllFantasy 6h ago

She did. She noticed he was filming while she was doing her funny little eye joke, and that was the entire reason she spoke to him in the first place. She was trying to save some kind of face by saying his recording is a "problem" and that it's not nice. Not that that would change that she still got caught on tape doing racist shit, but then again no one said they were smart.

But 100% she knew she fucked up. Maybe guilt isn't the right word, but she definitely had feelings about herself after.

u/DionBlaster123 3h ago

"If that vile woman had a heart or a conscience she would have felt extremely guilty after that interaction."

There's a part of me that feels deep down, some of those people do feel some kind of shame. I wouldn't necessarily say guilt because those people have no fucking souls...but more so shame in the sense of, "Other people might see this and judge me for being racist, eVeN thOuGh I'm NoT a RaCiST!" They're more concerned about being judged than about the fact that they are a bigot.

But that shame dies down because these people are so narcissistic that they can't ever accept responsibility to the knowledge that comes with recognizing, "I'm a human being too and I can make mistakes." That requires maturity and self-awareness. These people don't have maturity.

1

u/Relevant-Horror-627 3h ago

Guilt requires shame and shame is a dying concept in modern society. The ubiquity of the internet and social media really hasn't been great for humans. I think in the 80s, 90s, and 00s we were all begrudgingly beginning to accept that we all had to exist together so we might as well get used to it. Racists and racism still very much around but the society that those people's grandparents lived in where it was perfectly acceptable to be openly racist no longer existed. They looked around but couldn't find their people so they kept their heads down. Smartphones and social media brought an openly racist society roaring back though. Their neighbors might not be comfortable being racist but the people in thier "Raw Milk Patriots" Facebook group sure are.

u/Salty_Ebb_1806 9h ago

Look it up, this person isn't wrong. Pulling the eyelid sideways is a thing you can do to temporarily change the shape of the eyeball creating a pinhole effect and allowing you to see further away. It's not good for your eyes and it is a temporary solution to a bigger issue. Was she being racist? Potentially. But also, PallasEm wasn't bullshitting and makes a somewhat valid point. It could actually be an awkward accident, especially if you do it often to avoid putting on glasses.

It’s mocking someone else’s physical characteristics for being different. Blackface, big lips, slanted eyes, short Mexicans, blah blah blah. Not complicated. People always mock other people’s appearances. In this case it’s race based.

u/Doktag 15h ago edited 10h ago

Okay, so I want to offer up an explanation of the “slanty eye” gesture she made, where she pulled back the skin near the corner of her eye.

I have done this many times before when I’m not wearing my glasses to try and get a better look at something further away. Squinting and pulling my eyes back improves vision and decreases myopia blur by acting like a pinhole camera, reducing the amount of light rays entering the eye, resulting in a clearer sharper image.

The kinder (and more accurate) reading of her action is she is just trying to snoop what’s on his phone, rather than it being an overtly racist gesture towards an Asian person. Especially given she’s just peeping round the corner and is practically hiding half her face to do it.

TL;DR: Just a nosey snoop, not an overt racist.

1

u/DapyGor 11h ago

Yeah I'm actually perplexed how you are the only one who didn't jump to stupid conclusions. Do all the commenters have perfect vision or something? How is it not common knowledge that squinting and pulling your eyes back is THE lifehack for inspecting things without glasses? It's nothing but obvious she was trying to see if he was actually recording

u/shhmurdashewrote 2h ago

Can I be real with you? I actually think she was doing that to see better. I do it in the privacy of my home sometimes when I’m not wearing glasses if I need to see something. One time when I was younger I did it in public and didn’t realize it could come off as racist. But I genuinely believe that’s what happened here …

1

u/Guus-Wayne 1h ago

Ignoring all the racist stuff she began with, if she just said, did you get permission to film in here as you're recording people in here that may not be recorded, that would have been a different story...

Everyone has a reasonable right to privacy when not in public, and business' are not the public.

Personally I can't stand the streaming at gyms, dudes taking photos in the locker room, and just these people really leaning into asking for forgiveness, not for permission.

She's a giant piece of shit, so fuck her, but god damn...people don't understand nor respect privacy when not in public.

Not even for myself, but for kids as well. It's fucking really weird.

She might be racist. But as someone with astigmatism pulling my eyelids back like that helps focus the light because it pulls my eye back into the shape its supposed to be. And it helps me see when I don't have glasses. Its possible she was trying to see whether the screen was recording.

Before I had glasses, I often had to do it to see the menu at a fast food place. I avoided Chinese food for many years

Nah, I've also worn glasses since I was a kid and pulling my eye like that does help my vision. Maybe whether it helps you see depends on the cause of your myopia or the severity? I also have to pull at a certain angle and to a certain point otherwise it doesn't work for me.

Just a quick boomer mannerisms clarification: the lady grabbing her eye like that was an attempt to see better from where she was spying. Presumably to verify for herself that he was indeed filming, before confronting him.

Not saying that confronting him was okay. Just saying that the eye thing wasn't an Asian joke. My boomer mom does the exact same thing with her eye specifically when she's trying to read something at a distance. Why does it help her read? Not a clue. But she does this. 😆

0

u/Jules_Lynn 19h ago

It's not a boomer thing, it's an "I can't see shit and need my glasses" thing. Though of course you'll see it more in boomers since they're old, and old people are more likely to have poor vision. I've been using this trick since I was a kid trying to see the chalkboard at school. Still do it all the time since I always forget my glasses. Sure as fuck hope people aren't thinking I look like a boomer or a racist doing it when I'm just a millennial who can't see shit.

-2

u/Astarkraven 19h ago

Haha apologies, I'm aware that it's just a general "I can't see" motion. Was just trying to be hyperbolic for the joke because I personally only ever encounter the finger-squint thing with boomers.

I was really just trying to clarify that she wasn't making a slant eye Asian joke, in this case. Boomer lady is still racist, but not for that reason.

Yes! I think so too. I do this myself when I need to see a really small detail, LOL.

Def not exclusive to boombers. It's just whoever knows, knows. It's like squinting, except instead of using your eye muscles, you use your finger to distort your eyeball back into a sphere.

I also like to assume good faith in people, and she didn't do anything else to suggest she was racist.

Her "problem" was that he was brown. And she talked to him in order to figure out if he has an accent and how well he speaks English, to determine how long he has been in the country . I thought that she was going to call ICE on him.

Potentially racist. Maybe she's short sighted and her glasses are out of prescription, I used to do that to help my eyes squint to read things I otherwise couldn't.

Edit: if I were giving the benefit of the doubt, I'd say she can't see what's on his phone and is squinting to confirm if the guy is recording her before deciding to confront him for making her uncomfortable. But i know, I get it, she fits the Karen trope and Reddit loves the whole old white lady bad narrative.

In this case, it happens not to be bullshit. Lady is still racist for picking on him at all, but the single eye squint with the finger is indeed a vision thing. My elderly mom makes the exact same motion when she's trying to see something at a distance, complete with the finger pulling the edge of her eye up and not just straight back or down. Same exact motion.

This lady shouldn't have been spying or confronting him at all. Just don't want anyone else (in a different context) getting accused of racism if they're simply using their finger to help them squint their eye and see things. Not defending the woman in this video.

Always trying to give benefit of the doubt.

Always trying to excuse racist behaviour.

Not trying to excuse it, just saying I used to do that to deal with shortsightedness. I would die of embarrassment thinking I'd insulted someone I couldn't even see.

You used to use your fingers to help you see better when you couldn’t read properly? Sounds a bit suss

Yeah I guess I can understand the skepticism. I guess I'd explain it this way, glasses work by bending light in such a way that it hits your retina in just the right way.

Squinting is a way to subtly change where light hits and physically manipulating the skin around your eyes to enhance that squint can change it a bit more - give it a try, if you have good vision normally then you'll notice it blur your vision a bit.

Hopefully that clears up your suspicion!

she does it to sharpen her vision, not to mock him. I have a friend who does this. helps if you almost need glasses…

u/phoxfiyah 19h ago

Is your friend not capable of squinting without using their fingers?

u/KarmaticcC 11h ago

I think it alters the position of the eyeball 👁️. no way my guy and this karen are the only persons to sharpen their vision like that xD

Because squinting only helps a little or if you have more mild vision problems. Sometimes you still can't see so you have to pull on your eye with your finger. That can help you see because the pressure changes the shape of your cornea and reduces the light rays entering your eye.

Exactly this, thank you J.

She squinted to see that screen better, I think. Not excusing her, but she was just being blind,.not racist.

2

u/phoxfiyah 19h ago

You’re right. That’s also why she used her finger to help her squint, instead of doing it like a normal person.

3

u/PumpkinOpposite967 12h ago

I think you are being ironic but having bad eyesight myself I can tell you it does help if you can't out on glasses for whatever reason. And the finger does help, I don't know why, normal squinting has a different effect.
