Racist NYC woman singles out Asian man on subway

on: November 10, 2022

@nycrich10 uploaded a video to TikTok that showed an upset Karen approaching an Asian man on the subway, who had his small dog on a leash.
Anybody can see that the dog was incredibly well-behaved, and arguably had much better manners than the woman in question.
She was quick to tell the owner, “You cannot have a dog like this on the subway.”
To which he replied that he did not speak English.
She retorted “Obviously,” and although she didn’t raise her voice or cause a major scene, what was actually obvious was the subtle (or not so subtle) racism in her statement.
She was quite transparent with her real intentions, and luckily another passenger immediately came to his defense, which gave me slight hope for humanity.

Though it seems like much was said, the rest of the words were more or less lost with the background noise of the subway.
At the end of the video is a cute closeup of the small dog in question, who looks adorable and is minding his own business, unlike the Wild Karen who is still arguing with the passenger.
It looks like a few others had joined in on defending the man as well.

If you’ve ever ridden the NYC subway, you know that a small dog on a leash is the least problematic thing on there.
But some people disagree, and after watching this video, I think you’ll find it plain to see that I’m referring to the infamous Karen’s.
Yep, they’re everywhere.
