Four years after a racist encounter with a so-called “Karen,” Christian Cooper has earned the ultimate payback: a Daytime Emmy Award for his passionate love of birdwatching. The racially charged incident, which took place in 2020, not only spotlighted systemic racial issues but also paved the way for Cooper’s extraordinary success.
The guy is a wildlife photographer. If he asks once and gets ignored he’s going to escalate because you then become a nuance to his job.

That lady was going to have her racist feelings revealed one way or another either way she had it coming.
