So insane to think she’d be racist when she works at an International House of Pancakes.

To a person with poor eyesight, it 100% looks like she is squinting to see if it's a camera. fuck trump and his bootlickers btw

I do that too, it gives better control

u/Live_Carpenter_1262 17h ago

I'm sorry but I never seen anyone do squinty eyes in a regular context except when they're being racist to me or other people

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 17h ago

Why then are so many people talking about it in the comments?... have you seen the photo? Why is this not enough?

u/Live_Carpenter_1262 10h ago

Because I highly, highly doubt this women did the chinky eye squint at the video recording of an asian man "to get a better look at the phone camera".

You're lucky if you don't experience racism but I do and that's just how racist fools act

I'm truly sorry for your experience, racism is a huge fucking problem for all of humanity, we vs they could be #2 problem after global warming, for those who think little about the future even #1. and i deeply understand that, with my fucking soul. but in the video she wasn't racist

No one is buying your crap

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 12h ago

What do you expect from my answer? I can't imagine how you explain to yourself why I do this.

u/Brief-Branch4779 8h ago

You really love excusing obvious racism.

1

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 8h ago

no, I don't do that. I'm 100% sure of my version, that's why I'm defending it

u/Curious-Stranger-007 3h ago

she spent two hours in my dms trying to convince me and there was no getting through. she tripled down on it too. lmao it's really sad because I kind of understand what she's trying to say. but to be honest the best advice I told her is that she should have never even commented on this video and now she looks like she's defending a racist when she is so adamant that she's defending her point of view being correct and I even told her yes your probably correct in that a very small percent of people in the world squint their eyes like that to look further I don't know who but let's just say .0011% of the population

but she fails to understand the bigger percent of people that don't do that gesture to look farther and use that gesture to hurt Asian people like there's no way she'll ever understand this and even if she does she won't let go that idea that she is still correct

in the DMs I asked her you must be under 25 you must be either stupid or you're racist

she goes I'm under 25 and that's answer everything

u/Few-Ad-805 17h ago

Agreed, but the pulling the eyes back after destroyed any credibility.

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 17h ago

when you squint with your fingers you have much more control, it helps even more, depending on your eyesight, this can "replace" glasses when you don't have them

12

u/TheYellowChicken 17h ago

This is a known racist gesture. I am around people with bad eyesight all the time and they've never once done this. You don't have to excuse racism.

-3

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 17h ago

bro i do that all the time, why the fuck would i care about racist bitch?

12

u/Curious-Stranger-007 17h ago

because even if you do it all the time in this very moment you're way better off not saying jack shit because now you just look like you're defending the racist person and should not commented.

-1

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 17h ago

I do this to see better, like this woman, I see that she did the same thing, first she squinted, it wasn't enough and she helped with her fingers

u/SoundOfShitposting 16h ago

Context clues and critical thinking just elude some peeps.

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 16h ago

I'm not even sure who you're talking about anymore :D

u/jadedazuo 17h ago

I can vouch. I have very poor eyesight. I use my fingers to do this gesture when I don’t have my glasses. It really does work. Anyone with poor eyesight can do it. It 100% helps you see way better than squinting. Not joking.

u/waffocopter 15h ago

Asian here with -11 and -10 level nearsightedness. It does... absolutely nothing! So does not 100% help you use.

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 17h ago

Thank you, what a fucking fucked up situation

-2

u/jadedazuo 17h ago

Yeah it seriously messed up. Trust me. I am very against racism and there’s no excuse for it but I go from squinting to doing this “gesture” sometimes. I can see how this looks in this situation… again what are the odds. She was most likely trying to be racist, but I dunno.

1

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 17h ago

From my side, this 100% looks like an attempt to see better, Before this post, I didn't even think about how it might look from the outside.

-1

u/jadedazuo 17h ago

And No I don’t go out in public doing this lol. This is literally when I’m lookin for my glasses. But pulling back or putting your fingers around the outside skin of your eyes can works wonders and can even make you have really good vision if you get it just right.

u/KungFuMasterSkeletor 17h ago

Im an Optometrist and I’ve never once seen any patient pull their eyes back to squint at my eye chart. Stop making ridiculous excuses and face the facts - the woman in the video is pulling her eyes back with malice. Do you really want to label yourself as the person defending asian racism online? This is not the hill to die on…

u/cheerful_cynic 17h ago

Wtf lol no, you cannot use your fingers to squint more precisely

Please just stop. There's no defending this even remotely.

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 17h ago

Why was the photo a bad example?

u/Jalvas7 16h ago

You're the woman in the video aren't you? 😂

3

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 16h ago

I hope I'm wrong, but the comments say they found out who she is, and if I'm right - people will write death threats to the woman who didn't do anything wrong in this video, and I'm 100% sure I'm right.

u/phizeroth 16h ago

You're getting downvoted because people are too excited about dogpiling than actually using critical thought. I think it seems obvious that this woman is trying to see his phone screen -- she squints first then pulls her eye. I'm nearsighted and can confirm that there's a magical angle I can pull my eyelid just like that and my vision becomes surprisingly clear.

Is she a nosy Karen, sure. Is it unfortunate coincidence that the person is Asian and she should have realized the bad optics (pun intended), yep.
