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 thats 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.

(14,531 posts)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?

(70,208 posts)I imagine men are involved but most videos are of women.
I know the Karen meme is going around.

(41,977 posts)The episodes involving men are faster, more violent perhaps involving a group of men, and harder to video. I dont think women are more prone to this, they are less intimidating. Usually.
Just a guess

(26,071 posts)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.

(4,131 posts)Youre 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 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.

(58,785 posts)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.

(8,090 posts)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.

Smarmy, condescending and racist.

(20,185 posts)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.
