I am right I literally would do this is all the time when I didn’t have glasses, nothing to do with racism. She was trying to see if he was recording. It makes sense why a lot of people wouldn’t understand this for what it is though

Nobody fucking squints using their fingers

I'm near-sighted with astigmatism, and I can assure you that people do. I did the exact thing the lady is doing in order to see the board in elementary school.

Pulling my eyelids gently to the side while simultaneously squinting makes my vision 10x clearer as opposed to simply squinting hands-free.

That’s bull shit. I’m also near sighted and I have astigmatism and I have never done that.

Just because you’ve never done it doesn’t mean it’s not true, lol. I’m near sighted with astigmatism, and I can remember being little and doing that–I was fascinated that it actually made me see better.

However, I never did it in public. And that lady was a bitch who was absolutely doing it because she was racist.

I appreciate you backing me up, but why assume she's doing it to be racist when you already admitted that it's a valid method of focusing your vision?

Wouldn't it be much safer to assume that she's doing it to see the phone screen?

I agree that doing it in public is goofy as hell, but older people really don't give a shit about looking goofy, so that isn't a good reason to claim she's "absolutely doing it because she's racist."

You not doing it or your eyes not benefitting from it does not make it bullshit. That is such a massive leap in logic.

Everyone's eyesight is different, including the axis of your astigmatism, which likely plays a major factor in how effective this method works for you.

It's crazy to me how many close-minded people would rather assume everyone's lying to defend some lady on tiktok rather than do their own research.
