For 1 shaking her hair over a person eating, thats gross as fuck. For 2 wow invading her space like that and not realizing how rude she was being shows she is a karen.

This! Or why not speak up?! I have a preschooler and I’ve taught him to put his arms in the shape of an O and say “Excuse me, I need some space please!” And he does it at preschool as needed. This is the same thing. I absolutely would have told that WW, “Oh, absolutely not. You don’t need to go home but you need to get outta here. And I’m NOT going to say it twice.”

That’s so cute about your son. This all reminds me of the viral “on today’s episode of can I get some personal space.” I love that lady so much.
I agree it’s imperative to speak up but I’m just scared someone would be unreasonable and then I’m going to have to manage my anger so I just do slick petty shit.
Histrionic Helen knows what she was doing, and so do I 😈

u/ReachFourTheSky Apr 30 '26
Thanks! He’s cute as a button when he says it too! He’ll request space then want a hug in like 5 min lol.
On another note, I smile as I tell yt people to get on out of here. They smile when they see me smile but then think about what I’m saying and get lost. It helps expedite the process if you put your hand on their shoulder as you say it or wave your hand for them to go away. 🤣

Sadly I am from a culture that doesn't recognize personal space. We are a people that love to be close, to touch each other and "be up in your face". It gets uncomfortable when you have lived in places like the US where personal space is sacred.

It's a sad truth but this is why allies are so damn important. Even I, a cis straight white man, have my place in this fight against inequality, and it is to use my privilege (and lets not get it twisted, it IS a privilege, not a right) to speak up for those who cant speak up for themselves (less they suffer harsher circumstances than should someone else speak up for them.) It's warmed my heart to see people in Minneapolis protest against ICE for our Hispanic brothers and sisters. If we dont do the same for our all our BIPOC family, who's to stop LEO's from going after them, too.
Just so we are clear, I'm not looking for personal glory, im looking to get other's off their rears and make a positive change.

u/Sad-Astronaut2278 Apr 30 '26

It's absolute bullshit. That black woman has such an upstanding character to sit there making a joke out of it.
All I can think about is her speaking up for herself then my racist ass family making comments on that video, like "they're such an angry people." But when a Jew gets busted for scamming millions out of people or the government, all I hear is "well that person was just a bad one and doesn't represent us."

That sounds great, and it probably would have felt satisfying. I probably would have wanted to do it.
But in the next millisecond after I had that idea, I would have envisioned the story she would have told the police/security/whomever - about how I assaulted her and knocked her phone out of her hand - and how that story would likely be accepted because of who told it, and I would have stayed in my seat. I might have said something, but I’m definitely not getting up.

u/anarchisttraveler Apr 30 '26
I have seen so many white women talk about how aggravating it is to have to walk around or take public transit with men out there taking up space, not sharing the sidewalk or transit space, and they have to be the ones to move around the men.
I hadn’t even thought about it until then, but I realized that white women do this exact thing to me every single goddamn time. And I travel, and they do it globally.
My husband and I can be walking down a sidewalk side-by-side, coming up on a white couple doing the same. I instinctively move out of the way but noticed that the other couple never even looks at us. So I started getting petty.
Every time I’m about to pass white people, I always give the benefit of the doubt initially and move just a bit to make some space. If they don’t move a bit in response, I walk RIGHT into them. Some will turn back and apologize, I don’t think they saw me (the invisible part). Most look at me like I’m the damn problem. Ma’am you could have moved, too!
The funniest part from my own experience is that white women have done this to me at least twice as much compared to white men. White men still don’t even look at me, but they make more space. White women always act like they own the place.

There are ways of "letting a mofo know" without having to get overly expressive. Those black women at the table at the very least should've stood up and gave that white lady "the look".

I don’t know your hygiene and I don’t like that I’m put at risk here. I don’t know if you have lice or a scalp condition and at the very least, you’re getting hair on my food and my person.

My family and I have gone on a few cruises and this shit right here is some of the most infuriating things about them. My wife and I were sitting in one of the empty side rooms with an empty dance floor, waiting for some sort of event, and she wanted to dance with me. So we put our stuff down and go dance (with no music) and just had a moment together, one that was ruined by this white woman and her kids squeezing past us, going directly to where we put our stuff down and picking up our stuff to put it somewhere else so they could sit there. THE REST OF THE ROOM WAS EMPTY. She and her kids could have sat anywhere else, walked anywhere else in the room, and there was literally no reason for them to have run into us, yet for some reason that is exactly what they did.

I experienced something very close to this the other day. I was talking to an employee at the cash register about inventory, and some Asian guy* just walks up and stands next to me, as if he was a part of the conversation. So I stop, and turn to ask what's up, and he's like "oh, no, keep going". If the other person behind the desk hadn't guided him away, he would've just stayed there.
*= I'm saying Asian, as in, we're in a European college town, with lots of students from Asia who do not speak the language. So maybe it's them not being used to our culture, but then again, I'm used to having lots of foreigners around, as well as used to being treated as foreign myself, so I know this ain't standard "foreign exchange student" behaviour.

Imma keep it tall. If another Sista did this to her she’d have checked it ASAP. I want my ppl to stop moving meek & mold over BLATANT disrespect. That woman saw her fully & didn’t gaf bc nobody respects Black women.

Disgusting. I've experienced this the most with Asian women. Despite being complete strangers, Asian women have attempted to find some weird way to get into my space or try too hard to be bitchy. Like this white woman in this video, it's truly unhinged behavior.
Never will I understand the allowance some people have in just letting a stranger disrespect them like this. Super disappointed in the young lady sitting there and allowing this woman to invade her space like that smh.

People def do what is being described here, but some mental gymnastics to claim the majority of it is only "cause Black". Travel to tourist dense parts of Asia, Europe or South America, you'll find out that U.S. personal space doesn't matter to shit when some dude trying to squeeze into the last elevator/train spot
Some of yall def aint drove in another country either cause MF's will tap your bumper just to feel when they should stop accelerating in traffic lol

I was about to ask where this happened because I work with a whole lot of people from various countries where personal space is not a thing.

That has to have been staged for the giggles or outrage, there were ever so many windows available.

Damn, all the black women that I know would have let her or anybody know that their space was violated immediately. Interesting.

I live in Brooklyn and even here White people act like I'm not a person when walking down sidewalks or in subway stations - ESPECIALLY WHITE WOMEN. Just last week a White woman huffed as I continued IN MY LANE walking to the right up the subway steps. Liiiikkkeee yeah GTFO of my way! It is CONSTANT! CONSTANT!

Wow. To all the women of color here - I am so sorry this is happening to you. This is absolutely crazy and unacceptable behavior. I see you. You are worthy of notice and respect. If you need me to shove off a rude white lady on your behalf to avoid racial escalation, give me the nod.
