In any circumstance, neither motive nor evidence matters, only the privilege status associated with a person’s skin color.
Apparently, every negative social interaction between a white person and a black person can be explained by racism.
Take the case of Sarah Comrie, a physician’s assistant at Bellevue Hospital in New York City, who was branded a “Karen” (a racist middle-class white woman) after a disagreement with a group of young men over a Citi Bike. Comrie, who is six months pregnant, had just finished a twelve-hour shift at the hospital and was trying to leave on a bike that her lawyer has since produced evidence showing she rented, when a group of young men confronted her, claiming they had rented the bike. A struggle ensued during which Comrie called for help, expressed distress as one of the men brushed against her baby bump, started crying, and dismounted the bike.
