ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (WLUK) -- A pair of fundraisers have been launched after video of an incident at the Cinnabon stand at Bay Park Square Mall in Ashwaubenon went viral.

As FOX 11 first reported Saturday, a Cinnabon employee was fired after she was caught on camera using racial slurs toward a Somali couple.

The video has garnered tens of millions of views globally across X, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.

The two fundraisers are competing against each other. One is in support of the two Somali customers who recorded the video and the other is for the terminated Cinnabon worker.

So far, the GoFundMe for the Somali husband and wife has garnered more than $5,000 out of its $45,000 goal. The fundraiser, which was started by a cousin of the couple, identifies one of the customers as Farhia Ahmed.

According to the fundraiser's page, the money raised will be used for legal fees. It's unclear what legal action is potentially being taken, but the GoFundMe calls it a fight against racism.

Meanwhile, the fundraiser for the former Cinnabon worker, who is white, has raised more than $118,000 of its now $271,301 goal. In this fundraiser's description, the worker is simply identified as "Crystal."

“”Now I ask any of you FReepers how many of you would have been polite without hand jesters if Moose Limbs here in America were trying to force/pressure you to do that?””

Be serious. ANYONE whose lifelong and daily behavior doesn’t include foul language and obscene hand jesters...
Apparently some find that behavior normal.

Where is the proof the couple were trying to force this clerk to do anything? What the video shows is they were unhappy about not receiving the items they ordered. I don’t find anything and haven’t seen anything reported otherwise.

[Thank You Rush]

“”Do you know what they said to her to start off this incident? Probably not....””

Why don’t you tell me. Obviously you were there as it’s not been reported the couple did anything other than complain about their order.

[Thank You Rush]

“”It was not “they were Somalis”.””

Post #12 asked “was it them” and my answer was “they were Somalis.” What’s your problem with that?

One of the Somali customers went up to the window and explained to the server that she was dressed improperly with her outfit.

Apparently she did not meet their standards for proper modesty for a woman.

[Thank You Rush]

So that person was as “smart” as Ilhan Omar, right? Whoever it was, has no doubt been in this country long enough to know that “to each his own” and no one needs/wants/solicits advice from a foreigner so that was wrong. Are they all alike? Possibly.

What does that say about the white woman? What’s her excuse for such behavior? I don’t want to believe there are more like that where she came from.

[cgbg]

Cinnabon can fix this problem by requiring every female employee to wear Muslim ordered clothing.

Lol.

I’m glad there are no FReepers that tend to provoke each other.

Here's a tip for the thin-skinned Somalis:

"Don't visit Hooters©!"

Woebegone??

“they were Somalis.” What’s your problem with that?

I don't know what his problem is, but mine is that either they were Somalians and someone let them in - because they don't need to be here anymore, or they are Somalians and need to not be here anymore.

[Thank You Rush]

Either way - they need to go home and take Ilhan Omar with them....

[Thank You Rush]

I said they can leave and take Ilhan Omar with them but I’d be happy if they took the white woman too and got her out of the country. Get her away from civilized folks to an environment/atmosphere where she would probably be more at home...
