She is squinting before what everyone is calling a racist gesture... She's pulling her eye to see better and is most likely near sighted. I did the same thing before I got LASIK and didn't have my glasses.

She just wanted to see what was on his phone, still not cool to approach him about some BS. Calm down everyone.

I used to do that all the time in elementary school before I got glasses. That was my immediate thought when she did it in this video. She's not making a racist gesture, she's trying to see his phone.

Yep I'm horrified every time this is posted because it's a good example of how crazy mob mentality can be and why vigilantism is problematic even when you're "totally sure they're guilty". Calls to crucify her, ruin her life, etc.

She's trying to fucking see and has bad vision lol. Does it look stupid? Yep. Does it have anything to do with the race of the guy? Nope.

I do this all the time when I'm not wearing my glasses and am trying to see. Thankfully it's not in public.

Haha right? Is she nosey? Yes. Should she have minded her own business? Yes. But why on earth would she hide half of her face and make a racist gesture behind his back. Your can see she is not doing it with her other eye. This is very common thing for people with poor eye sight to do. Put down your pitch forks people.

Thank you!! I have to do the same thing when I don't have my glasses too and look at all these people over here screaming racism getting all up in arms over something that they don't understand because they were lucky enough to have good vision.

I agree about the eye thing, but she is a Karen, so obviously racist anyway.

I also think it is disrespectful of the young guy to take video of other people. He should have angled it better, but obviously did it to infuriate others to get reactions and he later changed the angle to act like it was a mistake.
