    You are indeed correct, but the votes for some reason go against you.

    This title and article is meant to seem like a targeted racist attack, when it was factually teenagers being shitty teenagers and would have ripped whatever she had on her head off while they were assaulting and robbing her for trying to stand up for her business.

      Well, I wouldn’t say that with any certainty - there’s certainly a chance the pulling off of the hijab was motivated by xenophobia, but even if it was, that only puts it a distant third behind the violent assault and the robbery. It shouldn’t be the first thing mentioned in the headline because it implies having her hijab removed is worse than getting her store robbed and her head kicked in.
