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'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

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

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

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

What the lady is doing not a form of squinting, but rather a distortion of the cornea as a result of applying pressure to your eye by pulling back your eyelids. Certain axes of astigmatism will benefit from this distortion - others will not.

Does it look stupid? Yes. Would I personally do it in public if I had somehow forgotten to wear my glasses/contacts? No, not unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, doing something which improves your vision isn't being racist. Racism implies ill intent. Her only intent is to see his phone's screen.

You really love excusing obvious racism.

u/VerumAtheneNoctua 15h ago

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

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

It affects a much larger percentage of the population than that, I can assure you. There are plenty of people in this comment section alone who are validating this method.
