«Look at the rental agreement. If you rent say, a floor, then the bathroom on that floor is for you and your company to use. If it's a shared bathroom, then the defined parties within the agreement get to use the bathroom. And, that bathroom is under the law firm's tenancy, therefore that bathroom isn't public. If she meant to say that she can use it as an employee of a company who rents at the building, then that's a different story and she'll need to show the receipts on that.
Otherwise, taken at face value, look at it like a strip mall (switch from a vertical office building layout to a horizontal one). Let's say that a Subway employee doesn't allow non-paying customers to use the Subway bathroom. If a Verizon store employee in the same strip mall comes to your store to use your bathroom, then in an emergency situation that's understandable. But on a regular basis, that's pushing it if she's not a paying customer. Subway workers are the ones who have to clean the bathrooms, too (larger companies typically hire out janitorial services one way or another), and they're liable for what happens in that bathroom (How do you know that she's not there to hide cameras to make voyeur videos? Or what if she has explosive diarrhea and always leaves a mess? Whatever the case, the renter will likely be the one liable for what happens).
So, if we already know that she doesn't work on that floor, then why is she using their bathroom? Of the plethora of different possibilities, why would one automatically assume that it's a race issue? The fact that one side is calling it a race issue is itself racist, because they see a white woman confronting a black woman and call it racist solely by the color of the white woman's skin.»
Bathroom Karen in Buffalo is Causing Debate... Was She Wrong?
The video, posted by the black woman targeted in the incident, shows her exiting a public restroom in the building and being confronted by the white woman. The white woman questions the black woman's right to use the bathroom and threatens to call security, claiming she has no right to be there.
The video has garnered over 800,000 views, with viewers expressing a range of reactions. Many have labeled the white woman an "Office Karen," accusing her of racial profiling and harassment. Others, however, believe the black woman was being "unreasonable" in her use of the bathroom, despite it being a public facility in the building where they both work.
The incident has reignited discussions about racial tensions in the workplace and the ongoing issue of "Karens" using their privilege to target people of color. As the video continues to circulate, many are calling for the white woman to be held accountable for her actions and for companies to address issues of racism and discrimination in the workplace.
«People are so quick to scream "Racism". How blind can people be. What you are seeing here is PRIDE. ANGER. SEETHING RESENTMENT, MALICE. HATRED. CLOSET ENTITLEMENT UNTIL STOKED. UNRULINESS. UNWILLING TO FOLLOW ESTABLISHED PROTOCOL. There are hidden reasons behind this altercation. It won't be shown here, that's for certain. We're too busy screaming racism. Some bathrooms are simply off limits for a variety of reasons. The main reason? PIGS. Piss on the floor. Garbage on the floor. Stink. Plugging the toilets/drains LEAVING THE SINK WATER RUNNING. There are a host of reasons. And a select few go in and see this shit, and are probably tired of it, of having to clean it up. I'm willing to bet, this hapless black lady (which I'm sure has done nothing inherently wrong) walked into a confrontation I'm sure she wasn't looking for......then out comes that seething resentment. See above.»
«The one went to the toilet on the next floor coz HER floor toilet was busted or whatever.
It is a toilet in a building that both work in.
the white has an arse in her throat spouting shit.»
«There has obviously been past problems with who uses what crapper in the building. We aren't getting the whole story. Even working in various factories, the washroom cleanliness varies from department to department.»
«If she works there. Whats the problem? Haha white girl grossing out and that killer whale.»
«It's obviously destroyed the bathroom before! Fuck I wouldn't want to smell the shit of something that eats watermelon, fried chicken and malt liquor all it's life! Betcha it doesn't even flush either!»
«How the actual fuck is this considered a “shocking incident” in the description.
One lady thinks she’s the right to take a shit in any toilet in the building, the other is under the impression she can’t.
The contract for the lease will explain if it’s a public bathroom or just employees only.
You American’s are fucking dramatic. Jesus Christ.»
«White woman wants to follow the rules while the black wants to undermine the rules and then cry racism. The black is the actual racist who intentionally wanted to cause an incident, it has a restroom on its floor but black privilege means rules don't apply to it.
Where is freedom of speech?»
«While ((( fake news ))) frets over this it can ignore Julian Wood, the White 3-year-old stabbed and murdered in cold blood by a black female monster.»
«Another day backwards a fucking shame the white bitch doesn't even know how dumb she looks so much for the youth creating a world a change»
