Hate against Haitians sparked by Republican running mates Donald Trump and J.D. Vance spilled over to the Jamaican community in Springfield, Ohio, this week.

In a post on Facebook, the Jamaican Patty Co. said an employee was confronted by an angry white woman who thought she was addressing Haitians.

"[W]e received a call from a disgruntled person regarding Haitians filing a lawsuit against the Trump/Vance ticket," the company explained. "Without identifying herself, she aggressively confronted us and mistaken us for Haitians and not Jamaicans."

The woman reportedly hung up before the restaurant could express a stance.

"The position we were about to take with her was, we as a company believe in standing up for what is right," the restaurant's posting said. "We do not condone misinformation or frivolous attacks on our neighbors, which we now know has given merit to this new lawsuit."

1. It seems the ignorant "Karens" are everywhere these days

... minding everyone else's business ....

[azureblue]

17. "All dem (N Word)s are the same anyway"

A phrase I heard a lot in my younger years in deep south, and she is saying the same thing...

Ignorant is an understatement.. Racist, and proud of it..

[Ray Bruns]

2. Like MAGAs give a shit.

[barbtries]

12. a feature, not a bug nt

[MaineNative]

15. Just gave the company a call,

and apologized for her behavior on behalf of all of us sane people. The restaurant is in Springfield, Missouri.

[central scrutinizer]

29. So not only ignorant of different cultures

But geographically challenged, too. She sounds nice.

[samsingh]

3. this is how nazi germany started

the traitorous republicans keep singling out groups to focus their hatred on with republican lies.

[orange jar]

4. Another racist idiot.

Almost certainly she thinks there are no differences in Haitians and Jamaicans. Both ethnicities have black skin, so they're all the same.

5. hate makes you stupid. a islamic racist killed the wrong brown turban people in milw, wi

+ killed the most peaceful of religions.

[AverageOldGuy]

6. Well . . .

A lot of people are saying that Bob Marley ate cats. I saw it on TV.

[Sogo]

7. Just to be clear, since it was a phone call from a "disgruntled person" who complained "without identifying herself,"

how did they know it was a white woman? Was it a call on Facetime? I'm not in any way condoning what the disgruntled person said or did, but let's not be reverse racist in claiming it was a white woman just because she was confrontational. In 2016, when Trump was haranging about the "Mexicans," it was reported that there were plenty of Hispanics in Texas who were with him in not wanting any more "Mexicans" coming across the border....

Just sayin'....

[Cirsium]

13. No such thing

"Reverse racism" is an illogical concept and a right wing talking point.

[Dem4life1234]

26. Yep that reverse racism mess is bullshit

[maxsolomon]

30. Her accent, most likely.

Just sayin', as well.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. They are unleashing the rabid hateful base, to be just that. Not sure which one is worse. Cut from same cloth.

[Beck23]

9. Speaking of dark skin

Why is Eric Adams being indicted for taking foreign money when Alito also took "gratuities" from a foreign German white supremacist? And what about Jared taking money from Mr. bone saw? Why is it a gratuity when Republicans do it, but when black people do it, it is a bribe?

[VMA131Marine]

10. Seems to me she would be in the wrong

even if she were talking to Haitians.

[Cirsium]

14. Yes

Yes, of course. Thanks for that.

[James48]

11. Haitians, Jamaicans.

They all look alike, right? 👀

[dchill]

16. "...mistaken for Haitians..."

Not that there's anything right with that.

[spooky3]

18. This is outrageous. nt

[timoteus]

19. The

Sarcophaguy strikes again.

[IronLionZion]

20. Racists don't give a F where you're from, even if born and raised in the USA

JD Vance has been dumb about addressing questions about hate impacting his own wife and kids. He'll sell out his own flesh and blood to pander to stupid MAGA voters.

[Trenzalore]

21. There are dozens of immigrant populations

Haitians were targeted for a reason and my Jamaican friend pointed that out 2 weeks ago

[ggma]

23. Haiti

was called a "shit hole country" when he was in office, wasn't it?

ggma

[Trenzalore]

24. More like Kamala's father is an immigrant from a Caribbean nation

[2naSalit]

22. How many times...

Does he get to yell, "FIRE!!" in a crowded theater without someone doing something?

[Dem4life1234]

25. Karens are some of the most evil entities on earth

Karens think their gender protects them from being assholes.

Jamaicans and Haitians don't even bother anybody, they come here, work hard and mind their business. Some of the most wonderful people I know are from the Caribbean in contrast to many homegrown uncouth jackasses born and bred in the US.

Stupid witch.

[hotellanai1986]

28. That Statement Needs Clarification

"Karens think that their RACE and gender protects them from being assholes." In fact, their gender is just a bonus because the white race absolves them of any deserved blowback by the majority of the population.

27. Someone should ask the stupid white woman where HER people emigrated from ???

She certainly isn't a native American.....
