Countless people snap photos or shoot videos while in airports, whether they’re excited about the adventures to come or simply documenting their travels.
But when a Black woman filmed herself recently for her YouTube channel in a Thailand airport, she was continually harassed by a white British traveler, who followed her around and reportedly alerted three separate security guards.
The video is now on TikTok and is quickly gaining traction. Many are perceiving this as another example of unwarranted everyday racism, even though the British woman never explicitly mentioned the other woman’s race.
Casey Sharp is a Black single mother of two who has recently moved to Thailand from Florida.
