An American woman named Han says she lost her job because of a joke she made about Indian Uber drivers on social media. Han posted a funny selfie that showed her happy and another where she looked sad. She wrote, “When the Uber says it’s on the way vs when it says it’s an Indian male driver.” This post was seen by over 9 million people on X, and many people called her racist.
After her joke went viral, personal information about Han was shared online, causing her and her family to be harassed. Recently, Han shared an update saying she was fired from her job. She did not say where she worked, but mentioned she was a waitress.
In a post on X, Han expressed her disbelief: “I guess doxxing me and harassing my family wasn’t enough. I just got fired over a dumb joke! Is this the part where I get famous and go on podcasts?” Some people in the comments suggested she reach out to X for help, as Elon Musk had once promised to support those unfairly fired for their tweets. Han, who goes by @hannaahhn on X, said she plans to talk to X about her situation.
