A 36-second clip filmed on a New York City subway train has become one of the most talked-about videos in America this week after it appeared to show a white woman enduring sustained harassment from a group of Black passengers before hurling a racial slur at them as she stepped off.
The footage, uploaded to X, garnered more than 2.4 million views within days. It has since split opinion online, with some accusing the woman's defenders of excusing racism and others insisting the group who taunted her bore just as much responsibility for how the encounter ended.
