A fruitloop 'Karen' gets her just deserts.

Because the attack was for 'speaking too loudly in Polish' according to the headline!

If you take the headline at face value that's the conclusion most will arrive at.

Reading the article it's one group's version of events against the other group's version of events, and one could believe either of the two versions.

Fair enough. I think the point is that there doesn't need to be one white and one black person (for example) for a racist situation. I could cross the border 14 miles from my house into Wales, start yelling at someone for being Welsh, and that would also be racism.

I wasn't having a pop at you, more the clickbait headline, which is typical of the Mail and other media outlets.

I think many people mix up racism and xenophobia (both equally as bad) and the example in the Mail (if true, not the event, but either version) was more the latter as is your example.

It may soon be illegal to make discriminatory, racially biased 911 calls in San Francisco.

The "CAREN Act" (Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies) was introduced on Tuesday at a San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting by Supervisor Shamann Walton.

Surely the recourse against Amy Cooper was an adequate message to dissuade racially motivated calls to the police, without implementing acts discouraging people from reporting a crime.

I call 101 for teenagers for dealing drugs outside my flat. If I've failed to observe the moment of the transaction then I'm just reporting someone for being non-white.

The job loss aspect as a punishment does not sit well with me at all, its simply put someone who may well be a model employee and capable too out of work.
The jailing or other punisment applied by law if it happens is the right course of action.
Making that kind of false allegation in the current climate of distrust could have held fatal consequences.
Shes an idiot for claiming he threatened her life so I dont feel sorry for her at all in that respect.

Think of it from the other side...

Vile woman is vile.

Employer stands by vile woman.

Some of employer's customers see employer standing by vile woman and decide to take their business elsewhere.

Employer is forced to make a number of completely innocent employees redundant.

This is what I simply don't get.

It's like walking into my local Tesco Express and finding Tommy Robinson is on the checkout.

What might you think about Tesco's values (not Tesco Value)?

The woman in question lied to the police in a way that she used as a threat to an innocent member of the public. Would you trust her to tell the truth at work. I wouldn’t and so wouldn’t employ / keep her employed.

Not just vile but dishonest. Who'd want to employ somebody dishonest?

When people tell employers what they're really like, they listen.
