Four years after a racist encounter with a so-called “Karen,” Christian Cooper has earned the ultimate payback: a Daytime Emmy Award for his passionate love of birdwatching. The racially charged incident, which took place in 2020, not only spotlighted systemic racial issues but also paved the way for Cooper’s extraordinary success.

I think you assumed I disagree with you on that. I was trying to explain the exact reason I think you're right: He hasn't shown any signs that it was at all his fault, she's definitely shown signs it's her fault. Simple as that. I swear, I wasn't not trying to imply there was any fault for the black guy, only that his behavior DOES suggest he's INNOCENT. Sorry, I'm a bit annoyed but I get there was some ambiguity to what I typed.
