Muslim woman calls out old man for thinking she\u2019s dressed as a \u201cpenguin\u201d TIKTOK: savannahgeishaaA Muslim woman went viral on TikTok after calling out an elderly man who thought she was dressed like a \u201cpenguin\u201d. TikTok is home to countless viral moments, often captured by regular people simply getting on with their day. While many are light-hearted, there are others that spark more serious conversations about society. In a short clip with 2.1 million views, a woman called Savannah revealed an unusual question an elderly man allegedly asked her while she was working at an aquarium, sparking debate on the app. The TikToker claimed that the man asked her \u201care you dressed up as a penguin?\u201d while she was wearing her black and white hijab. \u201cOnce he pointed that out, I was thinking \u2018do I look like a penguin?\u2019 I didn\u2019t know what to say,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo I was like \u2018yeah, I\u2019m a penguin,\u2019 cause like I thought he was joking, but he was dead serious.\u201d Savannah said the man later offered her an apology. \u201cWhen he got to the end to the sales area I said to him \u2018hey, I\u2019m not a penguin by the way\u2019 and he said \u201cI\u2019m so sorry, I realize that\u201d,\u2019 she recalled. TikTok users in the comments were divided on the incident, with some saying the man was rude to Savannah. \u201cI think he was trying to insult you and justify it by expecting you to insult him back. When you didn\u2019t play along, he just felt bad,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s so rude,\u201d another said. \u201cI\u2019m sorry beautiful,\u201d a third added. The majority, however, defended the elderly man and saw the funny side of the incident. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, that\u2019s a grandpa joke. Not right, but sure it wasn\u2019t malicious,\u201d one commented. \u201cI\u2019m Muslim and think it\u2019s a valid question given the environment you were in,\u201d another shared. \u201cThat\u2019s so funny! I bet that guy realized his mistake 5 seconds after he said that and felt mortified,\u201d another comment read.
