Did you see this arsehole chasing a woman in an alley and then accusing her of being racist for running?

This guy chases a woman in an alleyway, shouting and grunting at her and when he catches up with her, calls her a 'racist bitch' for being frightened.

Jesus.

Absolute freak Angry

Where was it (can't see the video)?

UpstartCrow · 07/04/2018 18:53

AsAProfessionalFekko I think he's from the US, I saw this on Twitter and he got roasted. He couldn't accept he was wrong - even though Black women were explaining the problem to him.
It looks like he's deleted all his tweets.

That poor woman. She must have been absolutely terrified.

And for him to call her "a dumb bitch" says it all. His mother must be so proud.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 07/04/2018 19:07

I saw this on Twitter before it was taken down, I don't know if it was the man who posted it who took it down. I found it terrifiying and made me so angry.
What an abolute creep and no self awareness whatsoever. The scary thing was the amount of people who agreed with him or even thought that his video was 'hilarious' Hmm.
I hate racism, its dehumanising and cruel and should be called out, however sexism is no worse and yet is usually excused or minimised. I think if anyone was being racist it was the man who judged her purely for being Asian.
I read it on a thread here last week that we as women often feel like prey and men are our hunters and it's because of men like this.

Valanice1989 · 07/04/2018 19:07

There are people (i.e. men) LOLing on Twitter about how hilarious the video is, "Asian women are scared of their shadow", etc.

Badgerthebodger · 07/04/2018 20:22

This knocked me sick. That poor poor woman. I would have been absolutely terrified and I’m nearly a foot taller than she looks.

I am starting to think we need some kind of “women and girls are people, don’t be dicks to them because they are very afraid you may rape and murder them” education in schools. Too many men think this sort of behaviour is acceptable.

Really? Sounds like a Londoner to me.

Let me go and have another listen...

Valanice1989 · 07/04/2018 20:28

Incidentally, all of the responses I've heard from black women have been on the side of the woman in the video, saying they would avoid a man in that situation regardless of his race.

hipsterfun · 07/04/2018 20:30

Yep, I’m pretty confident he’s a Londoner.

Ski40 · 07/04/2018 20:31

Eeew that was vile. I wonder what he would have called me- because I would have turned around and punched him in the nose. I have done it before! 😠😠😠

Thisisouting · 07/04/2018 20:43

He's a Londoner to my ears

He's lucky she didn't wolverine key his face that's what I would have done fucking idiot!

I've got anxiety for her she must have been terrified

TheVanguardSix · 07/04/2018 20:49

Feral.
Society is going savage. Do we really think all of our hashtag movements are helping?
So thanks to this asshole, she'll fucking sprint when she sees a black man on a crowded street in broad daylight.
She will always fear a black man now after this.

Stupid fucker. I hate people like this guy. They ruin society. Ruin our chances of rising above hatred and fear. Guys like this feed the beast, perpetuate sexism and racism, and worse, create racism where none existed before. What a pig.

hipsterfun · 07/04/2018 20:50

Trying to key the face of a person so full of self-righteous aggression wouldn’t end well.

LinoleumBlownapart · 07/04/2018 20:52

She must have seen her life flash before her eyes, I feel anxiety just watching that. It's every woman's nightmare. If someone with a penis is chasing you down an alley, you're internally screaming "oh god, no please, not me, am I going survive this?" not "I wonder what box he ticks on the ethnicity section of forms?" .....what a fucking clueless knob.

Of course they would be. She wasn't even a white woman FFS.

nocoolnamesleft · 07/04/2018 21:57

Fuck. Heart rate went through the roof watching that. That poor, poor woman must have been terrified.

hipsterfun · 07/04/2018 21:59

Can you imagine what it would do to somebody who had PTSD? Fuck.

DollyLlama · 07/04/2018 22:46

That is terrifying! That poor woman must have been petrified! Absolutely no need for that.

TemporarySign · 07/04/2018 22:59

That complete shit. Just when you think that you've heard it all, another bloke, another self-absorbed fool who doesn't see anything beyond his nose. That poor woman.

I've had men jump out of shadows at me and then say things like 'oh we're just having a laugh darlin'" or similar. Fuck them all. They haven't a clue about what it's like have they. They've never had to worry.

I saw the TGLWGH thread, but it just goes to show how men can never understand what it's like to live as a woman.

The thing is, she did the right thing! If she had been raped, she'd have been blamed by many for walking down an alley, seeing a lone man, and not running.

I really hope he's tracked down and the police can charge him with something.

MrsTylerJoseph · 08/04/2018 09:20

And the really sad thing is that some women may after seeing this worry about trusting their instincts and running when they need to.

Battleax · 08/04/2018 11:38

Definitely London. Not just his accent, but that 1930s London council housing.
