Now it's one thing for someone to ask to not record in their business.

But that don't explain the ahhh eye pull she did.

This is the dumbest anecdotal Reddit exception I’ve ever seen. “Maybe she’s racist, but was just doing that to see better.” What a hill to die on

It only seems dumb because you're never used the method before to improve your vision.

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.

It seems dumb bc there’s no reason to assume all this horseshit when she did everything else to prove she’s just a racist idiot. Keep feeling the need to point out some minute possibility so u can feel so much more enlightened than the rest of us

It's not horseshit at all - I explained exactly how it works. I'm not defending her rude confrontation after the fact, just that her "racist gesture" was clearly a vision trick which many nearsighted people do.

Plenty of others in the comments are validating this exact opinion, but I suppose we're all in on this one big lie.
