A New York woman says she lost her job at a salon after she told a customer to stop making racist comments about immigrants, according to a TikTok video she posted. The woman, who posts under the username _dominiquesymone, said being fired was a new experience for her, but added that she would not stay quiet when she sees someone being treated unfairly.
