Maskless "Karen" demands to see Hispanic landscaper worker's "papers."

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/watch-maskless-woman-harasses-hispanic-landscaper-for-doing-his-job-and-demands-to-see-his-papers/


Juan Andrade, who has worked for a landscaping company for 10 years in Rancho Mirage, California, was confronted by a woman demanding to see his immigration papers in an incident that he captured on video.

“Like any other complex I was just doing the work for all of them, mowing the lawn. I passed by her apartment and when I turned around to do the second round that’s when I saw her standing,” Andrade told NBC Palm Springs.

In the video, the woman continues to harass Andrade while not wearing a mask, ignoring his requests to adhere to social distancing.

“Can you show me your papers?” the woman says.


Randomly asking Hispanic man mowing lawn to see "your papers".
How about you show us "your papers" Karen? You might be an illegal Russian immigrant.

you used a sexist derogatory term to complain about someone using a derogatory term.

No you did not come right out and say it. What you wrote left no mistake in what you meant. Why are some sexist slurs are worthy of rebuke, while others aren't?

I imagine men are involved but most videos are of women.
I know the Karen meme is going around.

The episodes involving men are faster, more violent perhaps involving a group of men, and harder to video. I don’t think women are more prone to this, they are less intimidating. Usually.

Just a guess

Most women are verbal, the men are quicker and more violent and scary.

So, sorry, stats prove you wrong: men are who do most of this garbage.

You’re saying men are violent and women are verbal. Those are two different things. “This garbage” was verbal.

Folks behaving badly, but in different ways, is a human trait.

Mariposa - Urban Dictionarywww.urbandictionary.com › define › term=Mariposa
Mariposa is a Spanish word directly translating to butterfly but is also used as slang for “gay man” or something similar

Her landlord has grounds to throw her ass out, imo. She is bullying lawful workers on the property and apparently has done it more than once, according to the worker. That is why he recorded it this time.

Imo, and those of a whole lot of people, this is not a good direction, Yellowcanine.

Our notion is that we're fighting the bigotry of racism and misogyny. But that notion needs to be real.

blowing a kiss, standing too close to running lawn machinery, not wearing a mask, harrassing Mr. Andrade. My disgust levels these days are off the fucking charts.

California was controlled by Spain, then Mexico before it became part of the US. There's a good chance that the landscape worker's ancestors were in California before Karen's were. I run into the same issue in Texas.

because, you know, "paper" status is more important than "human" status
