An Asian woman barking like a dog at a Black man for playing music and not wearing his headphones on a San Fransisco bus has sparked a debate on social media about personal space and noise in public.
Video of the exchange shows the woman barking with a high-pitched bark repeatedly and taunting the man, who impassively sat in his seat looking at the woman. At one point, she got up and barked in his face as the man began to record the exchange. An onlooker also recorded the strange occurrence.
The video was shared on X, the website formerly known as Twitter, by the account Asian Dawn with the caption, “Asian woman barks at a man for playing music without headphones on the Muni in San Francisco.” The video has been viewed more than 720,000 times on X.
The woman’s high-pitched barking and howling could be heard over the man’s music, and one man appeared to have had enough and moved to the front of the bus as the man listening to his music said, “Get the f—k out of my ear, b—h.”
The woman responded, “What are you going to do? Beat me up?”
After the man asked her what she was doing, she asked the man the same question and continued to bark.
