Another idiot going down in flames for making a racist comment:

Sophia Chang says a fellow patron at the Bluewater Grill told her to “go back to Wuhan.”

A man who was accused of telling Korean-American entrepreneur Sophia Chang, 28, to “go back to Wuhan” was fired from his job Tuesday at Prudential, a Newark-based financial advising firm, the company confirmed.

Around 6 p.m. on Sept. 12, Sophia Chang and her sister were eating dinner at Bluewater Grill in Newport Beach, California when the man “made direct eye contact” with the women and told them to “go back to Wuhan” as he headed to the bathroom, Chang wrote in an Instagram post. When the man returned from the bathroom and the women questioned him, she says he responded, “I don’t speak Chinese.” This comment is not seen in the video.

Following the incident, Chang posted the video to her Instagram where it racked up over 800,000 views. The post — which does not show the “go back to Wuhan” comment — sparked outrage, with people calling for the man to be identified and held accountable for his alleged comments. The man was identified as a financial representative for Prudential, which confirmed his firing.

I think the complete quote was, “Go back to Wuhan….and take me with you.”

Seriously, she’s not my type (only my wife is); but what would make an alleged adult say that to a stranger?

And with all of the social media Karen-ing out there, why would one even make a joke like that?

Setnaffa; I was kidding, based on an old news story. When the US sailed out of port leaving the Philippines (at their behest), the Economist reported that people were holding signs saying, “Yankee, Go Home. And Take Me With You.”

“And with all of the social media Karen-ing out there, why would one even make a joke like that?”

That is probably the first clue that the official narrative and the actual event aren’t exactly the same.

Let’s see what Sofia Chang really looks like.

While you cannot always judge a book by its cover, the cover provides valuable information.

The leftist lunatics have been pushing the narrative that Asian-Americans are suffering prejudice and discrimination because of the #WuhanVirus and coincidentally, just before the first Presidential debate, this random fat fuck makes a blatantly racist comment in public “with all of the social media Karen-ing” going on. Does anyone else find this suspicous?

CH, not that I would denigrate anyone because I thought they had less than zero fashion sense; but she’s still not my type… 😉

Charlie, I agree.

Tim, yeah, they were both Democrats (based on location. job, hairstyles, etc), so possibly staged. They’re fond of their Potemkin village hoaxes…
