‘You people killed my people’: NYC parolee charged after calling Asian man slur, blaming him for 'virus'
A woman on parole was charged on Thursday for hurling an anti-Asian slur at a young man on a subway in Manhattan last month, according to New York police.
The incident, reportedly under investigation as a hate crime, occurred on a southbound F train approaching 23rd Street station at around 6:15 p.m. on Dec. 9, 2021.
Tandika Wright, 35, allegedly approached the 26-year-old victim, hurled a racial slur and blamed his “people” for spreading “the virus.”
“Hey, are you a ch*nk? You people brought the virus here. You people killed my people,” Wright allegedly said, according to the New York Post.
Police said Wright also shoved the victim before taking off. She was arrested on Thursday and subsequently charged with aggravated harassment based on race or religion.
Wright is reportedly on parole after being convicted of attempted first-degree manslaughter. She was initially arrested on Dec. 11, 2014, for the incident in question and charged with second-degree murder.
She spent 2015 to 2019 in prison before being released on parole. Records show she was also behind bars from 2011 to 2013 for fourth-degree arson, according to the New York Post.
Before Thursday, Wright had a record of about 35 arrests. The expiration of her parole is set for March 2025.
Violence occurring in the city’s subway system has caught national attention in the past week after the unprovoked killing of homeless advocate Michelle Go. Mayor Eric Adams, who initially insisted public transportation to be safe, admitted shortly after that he himself felt unsafe while riding the subway.
Beauty influencer apologizes for using anti-Asian slur in makeup tutorial video
A barrage of online criticism has prompted a makeup brand and a beauty influencer to issue separate apologies for the latter’s use of an anti-Asian slur during a makeup tutorial video.
The controversial clip, which Juvia’s Place uploaded on its social media pages last week, shows influencer Maggie Carrie saying she wants to give her eyes a “ch*nky look” as she applies her eyeliner.
While Juvia’s Place has taken down the original video, screen recordings of the clip have emerged online, attracting more backlash from social media users.
Warning: The following video contains explicit language. Viewer discretion is advised.
In response to the criticism, the makeup brand posted an Instagram Story to apologize for Carrie’s comment, saying, “We understand a video posted on our page has a comment in it that is offensive.”
“Please know that we continue to be true to our mission of being a brand that represents all races, all people and all cultures,” the message continued. “The video has been removed. We sincerely apologize [sic] tribe.”
Carrie also issued an apology via Instagram Stories for using the slur “unknowingly”: “I sincerely apologize to anyone whom I may have offended in any way. Unknowingly, I used an insulting word to describe an attribute. My fault! I ain’t know [sic]. We learn something new everyday [sic]!”
In a separate post on Instagram, Carrie defended her use of the slur, explaining that she was “simply trying to describe a [sic] attribute.”
“You can shoot me for being uneducated but I am not racist,” she added. “You honestly can tell I did not know but after learning so I apologize.”
Commenters also called out Carrie for using the slur twice in her apology.
