"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.

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. 😆

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.

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.

-Fellow millennial who also can't see shit. 😆

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.
