The California woman dubbed “Soho Karen” for falsely accusing a black teen of stealing her iPhone and allegedly attacking him at a Big Apple hotel says she can’t be racist because she’s a “woman of color.”

Miya Ponsetto, 22, made the remarks during a previously filmed interview with “CBS This Morning” anchor Gayle King that was teased on Twitter Monday.

That was going to be one of my guesses along with "the devil made me do it" or "I had an abusive (male) relative..."

So she admits she has privilege.

She said something like ‘I’m a 22 year old girl . .. . how can what I did be a crime?’

As I can recall from a TV interview.

Rhetorically, why does ANYONE talk to the dregs of society? I.e. lame stream media

Not sure if her lawyer is telling her to play dumb or if she really is that stupid.

When they say “woman of color”, ask, what color?

She’s right. It’s not an objective term with a definition that can be neutrally applied. It’s their term, it’s their weapon. They invented it for their purposes. She is anti-white. She might be anti-Asian, too. Labeling her as “racist” isn’t going to change that. Yes, she has privilege, and she doesn’t care. That gives her power, and she has no qualms with using what power she has.

“The Democrats are the real racists!” is actually true, just not in the way that conservatives of a certain age think. It’s a failure as a political weapon. They don’t care, though they do appreciate the reality of race, and use it to their advantage, while conservatives insist that literally nothing is about race.

“The liberals are the real fascists” is a similar failure. The Left is not going to be shamed by tenuous applications of political and social terminology, especially those gleaned from a really mediocre book by Jonah Goldberg.

“When they say “woman of color”, ask, what color?”

And/or, what sexual deviancy, because we all know to believe in traditional gender roles or traditional marriage is to be racist.

If she really wanted to be left alone, she should just stop talking to the biased press. We know most the press is always searching for some conflict they can label as racism.
That said, I think this Gal enjoys the attention.
Some commenters think she’s “Hot”.
There have been ‘reporters’ following her at airports on either coast. Like, don’t they have anything better to do?

You have this pint-sized PR chica giving a kid twice her size a hard time over a phone she thought he stole from her, and this is national news as an example of a white woman bullying a black child? Once upon a time, this would have been an article in The Onion, not a chargeable offense. It’s not like defunded PD’s have some much free time, given the spike in mayhem that started with the city pols giving criminals free rein.

Sounds like a rather racist thing to say.

I can not say that I have not been convinced that someone stole something that I later found that I had misplaced. That said... the entire narrative is falling apart on this one for the MSM. What they wanted was a white woman falsely accusing a black youth. Now that she is claiming to be a person of color as well, what is the point of continuing this? This will be forgotten by next week and she will get off with a slap on the wrist and getting to be a celebrity for a few days.

Race instigator Gayle King wants to be a combo of Oprah and Dr. Phil, terribly boring.

“White is a color too” Crayon used to have a color called flesh.

The idea that someone can’t be something simply because of their race is called what? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
