“I Am Racist”: Cinnabon Worker Who Insulted Somalian Couple Receives Over $110,000 In Donations
  • 652 points Whoopsie_Todaysie

    Im not as fan of racists.... 

    But - Another video of this came out.

    Before she turned on them, the man in the couple was asking her "do you think  sexualising your body makss you a better person?"  (While she was wearing a work uniform of long sleeved tshirt AND AN APRON) And asking her about not wearing a Hijab/Niqab... 

    He harassed her first. 

    Was she right?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!  But why is a man, moving to a WESTERNISED country and harassing our women for not submitting to their religion ?!! 

    He was also wrong. He should've kept his mouth shut.

    This is a good point to bring up.

    Too many people only hear one side and don't see that sometimes both parties can be wrong and suck.

    Yikes, and that’s just where they started recording,,,,that looks like sexual harassment to me. It would explain her crash out. Imagine being a minimum wage worker dealing with bullshit everyday and then two people come here to harass and film you telling you you’re SEXUALIZING your body via…existing? I would spiral,

    "And asking her about not wearing a Hijab/Niqab... " Where was that in the video? 

    How do you know that that was not a response to her saying something along the linea of " do you think wearing the hjjab makes you virtues especially since she was attacking them and their faith ?!

    Do note that if it is the case that the so m.ali couples strated this by harassing then the blame is on them no doubt but we dont know how this started to claim that it was their fault.

    can you post a video without some asshole attached to it? post a video of it in its entirety not just one clip snippet, youre doing the exact same thing by showing curated POVs, share the full clip with not editing involved from third parties

    also in no way does that justify her calling them a whole fucking slur, and self proclaiming to be racist. They're not right for harassing her but holy shit she didn't need to go mask off as a racist, she couldve called the police if she felt unsafe

    Man stop the lies - the comment he made was clearly in response to something.

    To a racist seeing a woman in hijab it’s clear she had an issue with it first.

    Farhia asked Crystal if the store was running low on caramel, to which the worker responded with an offensive remark.

    “‘You could see me squeezing it through that witch-craft bandana you’re wearing on top of your head’” basically referring to my cousin’s hijab…….” read the cousin’s message.

    That’s when the wife pulled out her phone and began recording Crystal’s unhinged rant.

    “I am racist, and you are a ni**er. I am racist, and I’ll say that to the whole entire world!” she brazenly told the couple.

    “P.S., to the racism, if you look at my Facebook from 2010, you’ll see on there that I have a blended family, and my son was colored,” the fired employee was heard saying in the voiceover of a TikTok video, posted on December 8.

    Not to support her, but $150k isn't exactly nothing. I'm not sure why we're pretending like $150k is $5.

    As much as it sucks, that's enough for her to live off for a year or two. I can guarantee you most people aren't going to remember this event happening in a year, and she got a cushy egg for it all.

    She’ll be able to find a job.

    People will forget about this story. Cinnabon will verify her employment there and nothing else, except maybe that she’s “won’t rehire.” And do you think the kinds of retail places she would apply for are doing Google searches of every employee?

    She will be just another low-wage worker with a spotty history. There are tons of people like that and there are jobs for them.

    Exactly, almost no larger business will ever give a bad reference due to potential issues that may arise.

    I was always told and this was a <300 company to just say that they were employed here and are on a no hire list and that’s it, just like you said. I think towards the tail end of my employment there it turned to just confirming prior employment and that’s it.

    Plus I have a strong suspicion she didn't even need the job and was probably there out of boredom more than anything, she most likely has a rich husband who's earning more than enough to support their entire family. She looks like she spends a lot of money on her hair and makeup, you don't work at a Cinnabon in your 40s to be the breadwinner of your family. Even if not rich her husband is probably making enough for both of them. It just goes along with the spoiled and entitled attitude she clearly has.
