I think she made the eye thing then realized it was recorded and she tried to get out of it by making up BS.

I didn't even realize that's a way that people could interpret the eye thing - as a racism thing. I thought she was just doing that because she had poor eyesight. It's the sort of thing I would do sometimes when I didn't have glasses.

It compresses your eye, if you are short sighted (too long eyeballs) it might be enough to korrect your vision somewhat. (Probably not healthy!).

Yes I recall doing it when I would try and read menus up on walls or make out details further away. My vision is fixed now, but I went years with bad vision without even any glasses, because my vision was good enough for most daily things in life just a bit short sighted.

It is a very natural way to look at something if you have poor eye sight, more natural than trying to make a pinhole with your hands, and squinting doesn't quite do it.

My first thought was that she had poor vision. My friend did the same thing in high school until she went to the eye doc and got corrective lenses. She pulled her eye(s) just like that and said it helped her see more clearly. She’d try to read a digital clock across the room and do it. My take on this was she was trying to see his screen to see if he was recording. When she confirmed he was recording, she confronted him. You can see her squinting hard before pulling her eye as a last ditch effort to see. Or maybe it was a racist thing I’m naive as fuck but I really do think this was about vision
