I am in residence, so not on Twitter as I often as I usually am. Just learned what Natasha Tynes -who is Jordanian-American- did. Anti-Black racism is shamefully all too common among non-Black people of colour. I would add classism to the list of bigotries that we must fight too.

I am Egyptian and have written about anti-Black racism in Egypt and countries in our region. Here in this essay about Black Panther

And here in this 2008 essay. Anti-Black racism and colorism are shamefully all too real among non-Black people of colour.

I hope the employee will get her job back. What Natasha did was outrageous as was the dismissal of the metro employee.

The tweet was very wrong but we can’t totally judge her character based on it.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but l did not see where Tynes indicated that the woman was 'black' . Her report of the incident was unwarranted, but did she say it was because the woman was black?

You people are insane. She saw someone breaking a rule, said something, and that person was rude to her. What does race have to do with it?
