'Subway Takes' sparks outrage as guest jokes that white p...

Her “take” is off the rails.

The popular internet comedy show “Subway Takes” sparked outrage Thursday after a guest quipped that white people should be banned from sitting on stoops in Brooklyn because they’re “aesthetically not as good.”

During the episode, Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab offers up the controversial “take” as she rides the New York City subway with comedian host Kareem Rahma.

“White people should not be allowed to sit on stoops in Bed-Stuy,” Aftab declares, as Rahma responds with shock.

“Wow, 100 percent …. disagree!” he replies in the clip, posted Thursday.

The medium-famous 41-year old singer, however,  doubles down.

“It looks bad. It’s aesthetically not as good, especially for Bed-Stuy as a neighborhood,” she says.

“As more and more white people are moving into Bed Stuy and messing up the vibes, and having our favorite bars and our favorite places close down, they should not be inviting all their friends and sitting on the stoop,” she said of the historically black neighborhood. “I think it’s rude to the history of the place.”

Rahma agreed that “aesthetically [it’s] not as good” when white people sit on stoops in northern Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, but didn’t elaborate.

She finally added that for 12 years she’s lived in the neighborhood — which has gone from 74% black in 2000 to 40% black in 2023, as the white population in the same time has gone from about 2% to 26%, sparking complaints of gentrification.

Aftab later quipped that, even though she’s not white, she doesn’t sit on her own stoop in the Brooklyn nabe.

“So even you, out of respect as a brown woman, you’re like ‘I’m not gonna sit on the stoop because I’m not black’?” Rahma asked.

“Yea, yea,” Aftab said, as they both broke into laughter.

Online critics didn’t seem to care if the duo were joking for not — and were quick to bash Aftab.

“If you said this about any other race you would just sound like a raging racist,” one observer wrote on X.

“Sitting on the stoop is a God given right of all Brooklynites,” another raged.

Others mocked her as wildly hypocritical.

“I lived in a historically black neighborhood for 12 years and participated in gentrification, but I draw the line at sitting on my stoop,” one critic slammed, mimicking her bizarre point of view.

“LOL the idea of a …nepo baby telling us what looks ‘good’ in f–king Bed-Stuy is funny,” another added. 

“Brown Gentrifiers are spiritually white,” another quipped. 

The Instagram and Tiktok series centers on famous or well-known guests — from Cate Blanchett to Lil Nas X and David Byrne — who ride the subway with Rahma and offer an opinion on any subject.

Rahma is then tasked with either totally agreeing or disagreeing.

By the end of the episode Rahma seemingly shocked Aftab by claiming that he could sit on a Bed-Stuy stoop because he could “pass” for black.

“No one would say a goddamn word,” he said.

“I disagree,” Aftab responded, as they both broke into laughter.
