Fair enough if you want to report that to Twitter, but the guards? Get a grip. The vast majority of the comments aren't even anything like that. They're just telling her she wasn't the subject of racism and making a joke of the absurdity of thinking it was. I'm serious when I say this is genuinely frightening. The day could come when just disagreeing with someone online or making a joke could result in the cops calling around to your door like has happened in Britain.https://twitter.com/EbunJoseph1/status/1213464247314743296

Stateofyou wrote: » People are offended by a lot of stuff, no different than anyone else. Maybe the things she's been offended by are legit. And just because she's allegedly complained about other things, doesn't mean that what happened at the hotel was innocent. It is an isolated incident, it has nothing to do with anything else she has experienced. With the amount of racism and f'd up things I've encountered in my white and privileged life, I'm sure she could double that.

If you work with loads of people of "all creeds, colours, and sexualities" then there is going to be a much higher percentage than zero that something racial has happened. Don't see what bringing different sexualities into it has to do with anything racial happening or not. You've only made it clear that you're only on the most surface level, superficial level of acquaintance with anyone of color you know. They've had "racial instances," guaranteed.

Deleted User wrote: » "unlucky" is a value judgment I guess. The moment you acknowledge a continuum of experience exists - is the moment you acknowledge _someone_ must exist in the middle of it. After that you just have to realise that the only thing that the fringes have to talk about - is the pool in the middle of the holiday camp
Stateofyou wrote: » Jesus, this is actually laughable. Complaints does not equal a "zero instance of anything racial happening." They happen, reported or not. And are you the intimate knower of all workplace complaints then? And your personal workplace experience and stats has absolutely nothing to do with this lady's experience in that hotel.
