A few thoughts:
WW II and all of its atrocities will probably never be 100% explained or understood. Many cultures/types of people were impacted. The Jewish culture was impacted the most, by far
The woman who is the topic of this thread is probably a pretty typical entitled well to do person. I live about an hour north of NYC. Trust me, they’re everywhere in this neck of the woods.
SHE was walking her dog. SHE wanted her dog off leash in a leash zone so he could get some exercise
SHE took offense to someone who she considered “beneath her” asking her politely to leash her dog
Hence her ridiculous entitled over-reaction.
In the NYC metro area, the “haves” have a huge sense of entitlement. Heck, the “have wannabes” have a huge sense of entitlement. I’m a middle class middle aged white woman and I have gone into higher end stores looking for a “special occasion” dress and been talked down to by the 20-something salesgirl who seemed to think that SHE was better than me because she was a salesgirl in a high end store.
So yes, entitlement exists in big numbers around here.
This woman is not a sociopath. She is not mentally ill. She was attempting to use a threat to get this man, who had the nerve to think that he could tell HER what to do, to back off. Her reaction to anyone who she felt was “beneath her” telling her what to do would have been the same. The difference being that the police might be a bigger threat to an African-American man than they would be to me. If it were me asking her to leash her dog, I’m fairly certain that she would have screamed some obscenities at me, I probably would have called her an entitled look which would have ticked her off more sending her into a rage of entitled glory which I would have filmed and put on Facebook to show the world the whack job. Had she threatened to call the cops I would have said “go ahead” and continued to film.
My point being, I doubt her reaction was BECAUSE he was black. It was BECAUSE she considered him beneath her. However, her very specific statement that “I’m going to tell the police that an African-American man is threatening me” is very specific to the fact that once she got herself embroiled in it, she was looking for maximum effect.
She deserves to be embarrassed. She deserves to lose her job because how can her employer trust that she won’t react that way with clients in the future.

I had that happen at the Macy's, 34th St store. I had to return about 4 items of clothing. I don't even think they were that high end. But the sales woman was so snooty, she made a snide comment like she thought I was a stylist for someone else, who could have afforded the clothes that got tried on, didn't fit, and I was returning for her. Then she proceeded to see my Macy's charge card. She only wanted to see the front. Not to verify the numbers as the card that was used. Again she had a snooty expression like, "Ha! I thought so." I suppose, if there are different levels of Macy's cards, she just wanted to snub me again, as having a low end account.
And my card should still be working, I used it last week. 
She was so annoyed that I was too dumb to get her insults. 
She knew full well what she was doing. Had a "Derek Chauvin" type police officer shown up, there could have been another "Murder by cop," aka Eric Garner incident, which is famous in this city to all residents. And Amy Cooper would have very much have been responsible for instigating it. 
dry crying, saying "Karen" has a mental illness. 
Scroll down the page for it. The TMZ page says, "He also tearfully apologized to Karina, and reassured her they have no plans to sue." Interesting that he acts like they would have a case, since "Karen" put her hands on the other woman first.
