How does this lady survive

Yeah like I said I'm not defending her, I'm just trying to explain what might have triggered her racist outburst. I admit I have been in the same situation before. Although I'm also a minority, I have been in situations where I'm confronting a group of people and they start talking to each other in their own language and I have no way to respond. It can be frustrating. Of course I'm always able to control myself but I can see how something like this can be especially triggering to racist people.
Yeah, but why are you explaining this? We all know that's what set her off. You haven't elucidated anything.
only self-important assholes think other people are secretly talking about them 'behind their backs' in another language
they're just talking in another language
If they're talking to each other, why do you need to respond?
Yeah you are right. I apologize then. I will try to make my posts more relevant and useful to the discussion in the future.
I guess since you are unable to defend/explain yourself, maybe it can cause feelings of anxiety or helplessness. At least that's how I sometimes feel in those situations. But of course that's no excuse to start screaming and insulting people. A rational civilized person should be able to handle those situations in a calm manner.
This is one of the most weak-sauce excuses I've ever heard for someone having a racist outburst.
I'm not defending her... I'm just coming up with up with victim blaming excuses so I can indirectly defend her
Newsflash, people: No one cares about your theories, or hunches, or hypothesis on what sets off a bigot.
Wonder if the woman in California who went on a rant and sped off has been rehired yet?
Doing this shit in Burnaby when there's a huge minority population is so fucking stupid. Racist shithead.

User Banned (1 Month): Doxxing is not acceptable, regardless of who the target is.
I think it's this person: [Mod Edit: Do NOT DOX people] but I'm basing that on FB comments. Her name is [Mod Edit: Do NOT DOX people]

Wow, I got like 10 quotes on this. My intention was not to defend her actions. I'm not condoning what she has said/done. What she did is despicable, there's no doubt about that. And yes, I do say she should be punished (being publicly shamed and having it viral is arguably enough). Unfortunately her son is going to pay for it the most.
The point I was trying to make is that I believe in second chances for people.To apologize, learn from their mistakes and grow to become better people. Am I too optimistic in believing in people? Maybe. Do I think getting her fired by contacting and harassing her employer is justified? I don't know. But what often follows is that their life is completely ruined because there's a small minority that takes it too far IMO (death threats, online stalking, other forms of harrassment to make sure they are never employed again or for a while). I'm afraid it can turn into a dangerous slippery slope in other instances when the situations are ambiguous. I'm a small minority.
and my condolences for the workers that had to go through this. I'm sure it will work itself out in the end.

Because clearly people had started dogpiling on the person and wanted to attack them. What did you expect? You really think they will come back when we know everyone has already made up their mind? We can say that that poster is insensitive but do we really need people still talking about it 3 pages later and making this topic go off rails?
I think "insensitive" is a generous assessment.
To me, the post was performatively indifferent. I assume the poster never came back because they had no interest in discussing the subject in the first place. Their post suggests they see no value in anyone discussing it.
People are going to be bothered by that. Since can you put yourself in that poster's shoes, I'm sure you can see it from someone else's perspective, too.
Yeah, EVERY TIME I see some video like this, I always wonder why no one has the guts to call people the names they deserve.
Calling out racists seems to get your diapers in a twist. I wonder why.
Yes, especially racist ass people, they very, very rarely change as they don't really have an incentive to do so since other white people will be there to rationalise their hatred, cuddle them and frame them as the actual victims.
Maybe she should get a job working retail at a store and learn to respect people and not be racist.
I was gonna say. Last time I checked Canada is bilingual anyway.
And not just the racism; I cannot imagine ever swearing in front of my children. At least not until they're adults themselves. This woman does it so casually it suggests it happens all the time at home.
the poster is not a public figure getting "cancelled." they inserted themselves into a conversation other people were trying to have.
easiest way to avoid unwanted conversations is to avoid them or use the ignore thread button, rather than do whatever and expect everyone else to be good sports about it
your lazy link drop suggests you don't want to talk about it either, which is fine
really, it's fine
There's so many of these sort of videos online. Fucking idiots need to get over their mono culture mindset; there's plenty of misc cultures outside of their own. Deal with it.
