A man has racially profied a group of black men at a WeWork office space.
A White Man Called the Police on Black Men Using Shared WeWork Gym, after video of the incident began circulating online on Wednesday. A man, who has since been identifed as Tom Austin, can be seen asking the men if they are also tenants of the building, which has a shared private gym space the men had previously used.
This infact isn’t the first time Tom Austin has been called out for racist behavior, as he previously made news for a similar reason back in 2017.
When the men don’t tell him what floor their rented office space is on, which they have rented for over a year, Austin calls the police.
“As we were working out this man approached and immediately asked us who we were and if ‘WE BELONG’ in this building,” the three men’s company, Top Figure, wrote on Instagram alongside videos of the situation. “Granted in order to enter the building you NEED a key card to enter EVERY part of the building which EACH of our team members individually have. We all pay rent here and this man demanded that we show him our key cards or he will call the cops on us. We are sick and tired of tolerating this type of behavior on a day to day basis and we feel that we had to bring light onto this situation,” they explained further.
