"No they're not humans, they are Muslims"..."I have friends that are Muslim."

[demmiblue]

“No they're not humans, they are Muslims”. A Muslim woman was targeted with a racial tirade while she was shopping with her husband in a grocery store in Florida. Nahla Ebaid, an Egyptian American, recorded the incident after the attacker began hurling racial slurs at her.

1. I still have a safety pin on my purse

I'd take the couple's side. Good for the clerk to defend them. I liked what the cop said, it was very human. And the brutish woman had friends? I wonder that she has any friends, let alone Muslims!

2. "I'm from the Ukraine"

Stupid piece of shit

[Tommy Carcetti]

10. If that's true, she's not a very good Ukrainian.

Most Ukrainians bristle at it being called “the Ukraine.”

8. Sounds as if you know little about Europe's Islamophobia

Anti-Muslim sentiment fueled much of Brexit and right wing governments all over that continent.."This is America" my ass.

9. Old feud between the enlightened near-east and the European dark-ages

The Crusades, Moors in Spain, Ottoman Empire siege of Vienna, post-WW1 partition of the Ottoman Empire...

20. Sounds as if you've never been a person of color. This is America.

[whathehell]

21. Being a person of color

doesn't excuse you from the need for perspective and a balanced view of the World.

[marmar]

23. I'm talking about the specific experience of being a person of color in America.

This is not unusual.

[whathehell]

24. My point is it's not just America..

If America seems more bigoted, it's because until recently, we were perhaps the most racially and ethnically diverse country in the world.
It's easy to be "tolerant" in societies where everyone basically looks, sounds and acts like you.

7. Interesting how fast she went from being pretty full of herself to begging them not to arrest her.

I hope this video goes viral & all her friends see it.

19. She thought she was superior to everyone there, until the police arrived

She phones them (or was it someone else?) claiming she's getting called names, when everyone present knows it's her. But she's thinking she will have the police on her side, because this is white entitlement with the volume turned up to 11. When they turn up and clearly find out she's the troublemaker, she becomes the "innocent" one.

13. Soooo many of these bigoted Eastern Europeans in SOFL

Especially Broward. They can be literally gaspingly and casually publicly terrible, using racial, LGBT, xenophobic and anti semitic slurs. There are actually complete towns in Broward they've taken over and have basically made more segregated than any Jim Crow city ever was.

14. We have a lot of racists eastern bloc people here in the SF Bay Area also

15. The way some of these folks talk to cashiers who are Haitian

Is insane.

18. I was surprised to hear her claim Ukrainian origin.

Her accent seemed "Southern American" to me.

I would've expected an accent like this:

22. I've met bigoted Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, and Western Europeans..

There are bigots in every race and ethnicity.

[Carlitos Brigante]

16. "They're not human!!!!............ Please don't do this to me... I have friends

that are muslim...."

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. She's calling someone else ugly?!

That hateful woman is showing very ugly behavior! (I'll leave it at that.)

And not wearing a mask, of course, while also threatening to spit on another person!

[MissMillie]

25. She has friends...

I was going to say that such a statement is hard to believe.

Unfortunately, it's not hard to believe.
