        I’m glad she got fired but what about Ricardo Pomales? This story is especially upsetting because two PoC sold out the Black ppl in service of white privilege. Shame. We should be looking out for each other!

        The manager at the time of that restaurant needs to be held accountable also. He turned on the black people who are paying customers and defended this racist Asian lady. Y'all need to find out his full name and find out everything about him and speak to his boss

        I’m confused because I thought in a lounge sofas are shared. If this party had reserved the area shouldn’t there have been a “reserved” sign on the table/sofa?

        Thanks for clarifying. Dinner tables are not for sharing.

        I remember when this went viral a minute ago. I hope the consequences get as viral because racists need to know the whole world thinks they are wrong and maybe they should take the damn hint
