The business owner, TikTok user @royaltysonestopshop, started Royalty's One Stop Shop with the mission of making people feel "pretty and safe" with her fashionable self-defense items. One customer, however, no longer wanted to be a part of that mission once they found out a Black woman was behind it.

"Can you please cancel my order? Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that you're a person of color and I just don't like to support small business[es] that align with my version of support," the client wrote in the email, which was shared in a now-viral TikTok video, as reported by The Daily Dot.

"Before you start and go on a race tyrant, please be aware it [is] called my preference [...] Because we are all aware of how you people like to act when things do not go your way," the customer wrote, adding that the business owner should make clear on the website that it's Black-owned –– even though the site has a "About the Owner" page.

The person also alluded to MLK Day, writing, "Also, happy holiday. Isn't it you people holiday today?"
