Get ready to be BOTHERED by the story of a racially charged incident in a Toronto grocery store. It involved a grown fake tanned man in a tank top who told woman to "go back to China.” All because she had seven items in an express checkout line (arguably only six distinct items).     The man excused his racist comment by sharing that he was “a gay man” and also that had had “travelled the world”. What followed was a confrontation and emotional breaking point for Julie Kim⁠.

Julie consults Dr. Wendy Wong, an expert on AI and emerging technologies, who unfortunately tells Julie that there’s no grounds to sue in this instance.
