TikTok Barmaids Clapping Back at Online Hate: A Lesson in Unity and Respect
A TikTok user known as anabelmorenoruiz3, who works as a waitress in a bar in Cartagena, has recently taken a stand against online harassment in a response that showcases the importance of community support. The incident started when anabelmorenoruiz3 posted a video of her coworker preparing a local drink called 'asiático', a popular alcoholic beverage made with coffee. Following this, a comment appeared calling the male worker a 'jihadist'.
In a spirited rebuttal, anabelmorenoruiz3 posted another video alongside her colleague, saying, 'Look, Mamadou, see what they’ve written here!' Maintaining a positive demeanor throughout, her coworker asked, 'Seriously?'
Anabelmorenoruiz3 also addressed additional comments in subsequent posts. One user inquired if they were a couple, to which she clarified, 'No, I am his boss and colleague.' Another comment praised their work ethic, stating, 'I would love to go there because it’s an example of people who come here to lead normal lives and progress, and that’s who we should support and admire.' To which anabelmorenoruiz3 emphatically agreed.
This interaction serves as a reminder of the resilience and warmth of the hospitality industry. The bond between workers and their response to negativity highlights a significant aspect of societal culture: the importance of standing together against xenophobia and prejudice.
By standing up against hate, anabelmorenoruiz3 and her colleague not only defended themselves but also promoted a message of unity that resonates beyond the confines of their bar. Their actions remind us of the value of respecting diverse backgrounds and the importance of welcoming all individuals who seek to integrate and contribute positively to society.
