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?”

Her husband or male relative that was escorting her in public could have answered questions for her.
——Kind of an insult to penguins. I was going with Morroccan Alley Hooker. Anyone ask her “how much?”
Re the new Muslim Barbie:

If he were in Canada he’d be in a high-security prison now, or dead.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. A penguion with spiders on her eyes. What a fraud.
Somewhere a painter is missing his brushes.....
“…I was like…”
VERY pious looking. NOT!
There’s the part about why we are being subjected to a thread like this: Readers were divided…. I really don’t care about it. Stop posting divisive crap here. Go to Yahoo or quora.
Yup!
Fake eylashes and 1/8 inch of spackling compound ...
HERESY!!!!
I thoroughly ENJOYED reading every remark until I got to yours.
Penguins don't wear $200 false eyelashes.
Ya, a penguin, a nun. When I read it thats what I thought he meant too.
She looks like a nun, the geezer probably thuoght she was.
Agreed. I watched the video and noticed that she is probably as much a Muslim as Lia Thomas is a female.
She talks like a Valley girl and looks like a hooker.
Her 'O' mouth has sporting potential.
If that's true, why do you see some Muslim women wearing just a scarf over their hair and others in the full burka with just a mesh screen for the eyes? And everything in-between?
Grandpa always told me...
Find a woman who is smart. Find a woman who is great in bed. Find a woman who loves you for who you are.
And make sure none of these women ever meet.
Grandpa joke.
