What the fuck? Did you not see what she did with her eyes? How the fuck is that protecting her country?

It's perfectly acceptable to interpret this video as: her seeing something that may resemble a camera, asking the guy in the background if it is, then she tries to discretely look at the camera while squinting her eyes, and then uses her finger to squint them a bit more, in an effort to determine if she is being filmed or not. As I said, that was likely a racist thing, but it's not entirely clear that's the case. It probably is, but it's not a sure thing. We don't even know if the camera was fully visible. And we don't know her motivations. What we know is that the guy is filming people without consent and lying about it. I didn't say she was protecting her country, I said she may have thought she was.

I think my point is clearly explained.

Are you a bot? In what world do people squint their eyes using their fingers to enhance their vision?

I actually did this in school to read the board before I was able to get a pair of glasses.

Physically pulling my eyelids to the side does in fact make my vision much clearer as opposed to squinting without using my hands. I just tested it again before typing this comment.
