A Muslim woman has revealed the “rude” question she claims an elderly man asked her at an aquarium.
Savannah, who was wearing a black-and-white hijab, claims the man asked her: “Are you dressed up as a penguin?”
The woman, who works at the aquarium in Sydney, explained what happened in a video posted on TikTok.
“Once he pointed that out, I was thinking ‘do I look like a penguin?’”
“I didn’t know what to say, so I was like ‘yeah, I’m a penguin’, cause like I thought he was joking, but he was dead serious.”
Savannah says the man later apologized to her.
“When he got to the end to the sales area I said to him ‘hey, I’m not a penguin by the way’ and he said ‘I’m so sorry, I realize that’,” she said.
Viewers were divided on the incident, with some saying the man was rude and others suggesting he may have meant it as an innocent joke.
One commenter said: “I’m sorry, that’s a grandpa joke. Not right, but sure it wasn’t malicious.”
Another wrote: “You should have said ‘I’m a nun’ to make him feel guilty.”
Another commented: “As a hijabi, I always try to avoid black with white because I’ve done it and they always think I’m a Catholic nun and call me sister.”
But another woman asked: “Is she dressed this oddly just to provoke people? Isn’t wearing bizarre makeup and lashes like that against the ‘modesty’ laws of Islam?”

Perfect opportunity for a little introspection and self-reflection.
Well if a kid said that to a nun back in the 50’s at Catholic school, the nun would have beat the crap out of him, and the kid would get second beating, once the parents found out.
Fair question. My preferred one is are you now or have you ever been a terrorist? Have you renounced Islamic Cult terrorism? And if so, why are you still dressing as a terrorist?
“The horror. The horror”
ANYONE who has been around little kids knows that they don’t think before they speak, and some of the things that come out of their mouths can be epic. (Epicly funny, epicly offensive, or both).
she wears the hijab and the make up of a hooker... she’s the prostitute penguin on the CW
Her filthy slut face is exposed giving pedo homo goat humping men with unkempt beards temptations.....
really funny.
When my daughter was five, she saw her first nuns. Came running over to me all worried and asked, “Who are those gooses?”
See my post #28.
My kid still speaks her mind all these decades later. gotta love her for that.
Ahh diversity.
Exactly.
They come here and play victim. Notify her elders and send this picture of her painted up like an infidel - she would only wish the worst part of her day would be the question of an innocent child. That is, if she lived to wish......
Seriously? I did not realize that. Are there any sources I can look up for this? My assumption was quite the opposite.
Umm. Yeah
Maybe he’s never heard of a hijab.
foff, all that warpaint doesn’t look muslime to me
we called the Nuns penguins and they survived...
Many of them had black and white habits and were routinely referred to as penguins.
Right.
I’d have guessed nun before muslim. But penguin is a close guess also.
She does look like a penguin.
A fair question for an aquarium worker.
Sheesh!
She’s not a penguin.
She’s obviously the new Muslim Barbie doll.
