An Ethiopian woman is facing a severe backlash after she accused an Asian-owned boba tea shop of 'stealing black culture' and went on a nasty tirade against the workers.
A video of the woman, who was later identified as Alewia Tola Roba - a research fellow at the Colorado State Government Capitol Building - going on the explosive rant at a drink restaurant called Trap Tea - The Boba Plug in Aurora, Colorado, was first shared to Twitter in August 2020.
However, the clip recently went viral again after it resurfaced on Reddit in a post titled: 'Karen accuses Indonesians of "stealing black culture".'
Alewia, who was 23 at the time, berated the employees, screamed at her fellow customers, and used racial slurs while claiming that the establishment was making money off of black culture because it used the word 'trap' in its name.
A 'trap house' is a term often used in the black community to refer to a place where drugs are sold.
'I have a question, is this black owned?' Alewia could be heard asking an employee as she entered the restaurant.
'Uh no,' he told her, to which she replied, 'OK, interesting.'
She then headed to the counter to pick up her pre-placed order, where she once again asked a worker if the store was 'black owned.'
'No, we're Indonesian,' he explained.
'OK, do you think you guys are using black culture to gain attention and gain customers?' she fired back to the flustered employee.
She then started screaming at the top of her lungs to everyone else in the shop: 'This establishment is not black owned but they're stealing black culture.'
'You're thieves. Asian people stealing black culture once again. It's OK, you'll be exposed,' she continued during her nearly two-minute long outburst.

“I saw this video last week. Watched it twice because I could not figure out WTF she was complaining about.”
I bet it was this one too because it’s the same one I saw.

That’s not “steal black culture” it’s “black steal culture.” Or “Gibmedats” in urban slang
I always thought it was called a crack house. Now, if someone other than a black person had made that association to the terminology, they would have been labeled a racist for inferring that only black people deal in illegal drugs.
I noticed the light skinned black man arguing with her, and she had the gull to tell him he doesn't get to argue with her about this.
She's not really a Karen, she's a racist agitator is what she is.
Wait till she hears rich white people go “Trap Shooting” for sport
Another Karenized Wakanda Warrior with a huge mouth.
Uh, then Ethiopians using electricity and a whole lot of other knowledge bases is also “culture stealing”?
Just asking for Captain Obvious.
Pull!
EVERY person I've met from Ethiopia has been super nice !!! (And I've met hundreds here in the D.C. area.)
I guess working for Colorado's government can corrupt that.
Another uppity Ethiopian Government Ho. That’s what these freeloading “refugees” are told. Get a government job. You don’t have to work and you make the big bucks. A bonus is that the race card scares the piss out of the white government employees.
Same here. And I've met quite a few Christians from Ethiopia. Ethiopia has a sizable Christian population, and an ancient sect of Judaism too.
Is she sure that they aren’t stealing from the Sex Pervert Culture instead?
An effeminate boy or young man posing as a girl is also called a Trap.
Indeed.
She says at the end to a black customer, “Because you’re a COON!”
smh
Most of the Ethiopians I’ve met are devout Muslims and are no different from devout Christians.
They say their religion has been hijacked and after getting to know them and witness their love of God and their fellow man, I agree.
Same experience I’ve had.
I guess every culture has its Karens sprinkled amongst them.
Does she ever dye her hair blond, red, or light brown?
Does she wear blue or green eye contacts?
Straighten her hair?
Speaks English?
I’d say she appropriating White Culture if so.
What does an Ethiopian have to do with Southern Black culture.? Color is about all they have in common. Not culture, food, religion, language even physical appearance .
Trap houses aren’t anything to be proud of.
