“Stuff like this happens way too often, where people just feel, like, threatened.” Ms. Kanoute told the security officer when he approached her. She was also misgendered because the janitor gave the guard incorrect information. The school has had multiple incidents dating back years where these types of situations have occured and been reported.

Also the employee was asked to change her presentation because of the rap. That was the extent of her discomfort. She was asked to change a presentation because people worried some might be offended. Something that literally happens every single day in America. Heaven forbid your boss tell you they had issues with your work. Who exactly is the priviledged one? Oh right she also had to take classes she didn't want too. Such horror.

The truth is nobody knows whether that janitor or that security guard had racial motivations. We also don't know if this was a regular occurance in the affluent, white neighborhood where the school is located.

What we do know is that people aren't victims because their boss tells them to redo their work, or because their employer makes them take classes they don't want too. We also know that Steve and everyone else on the right will do everything they can to make it seem like white people are really the ones who have it bad. Like we don't have history books or eyes to recognize the lies.
