Asian Woman Trolls Fellow Passenger Who Covered Her Mouth With A Scarf The Second She Saw Her On The Subway

Asian Woman Trolls Fellow Passenger Who Covered Her Mouth With A Scarf The Second She Saw Her On The Subway

Racism and xenophobia have always been one of the first things that gets stoked when there's a global issue.

The global issue of the moment being COVID-19—aka coronavirus—which originated in China.

That means people are acting seriously sketchy about people they believe to be Chinese regardless of their actual country of origin.


It's racist, it's irrational, it's ridiculous, but it happens every time. So when a woman named Min got on the subway and a White woman immediately covered her mouth with her scarf, Min knew exactly what she was dealing with.

So she decided to conduct a little "experiment."

First Min took some time to observe. It's possible that she was just wiping her mouth, right?

Maybe she just happened to do it when Min walked by. But no, she kept her scarf up.

The woman hadn't been covering her face when the only people around were also White, Min could see her as she approached.

The woman didn't cover up until she saw Min. She covered and stayed covered while Min was around.

Hmm.

Giphy

Min decided to see what would happen if she faked a little cough into her elbow. She made sure she had her phone ready to record, just in case.

And then she let the cough go.

Subway lady was NOT having it. Her response said everything Min needed to know.

The woman looked up from her phone and mumbled something that she refused to repeat. When Min tried to speak to her, she engaged for just a few seconds before she got up and left.

This woman really moved to the other side of the train rather than sit near Min.

Wow.

Yikes, Lady.

Her post ignited a serious Twitter war. 

Was the woman being racist or was she just being cautious? Was it really racist to cover up in public?

No, that's not inherently racist.

But why did she only cover up when she saw an Asian person? Why not use those precautions when White people passed her way?

Newsflash: White people from the United States travel to China for business and pleasure. Asian people from the United States can have no connection to China.

Not all Asians are Chinese. Not all Chinese-Americans have been to China.

Cue the fight music.












So Twitter is obviously not going to come up with an answer any time soon.

Universal precautions in affected areas are advised. But in the United States, a person of any race or ethnicity may be infected with COVID-19.

Racial profiling won't save you from being infected.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
