AITA for calling my friend a Karen after she tried to get me kicked off a bus for wearing a BLM T?

I was on a bus going to visit my uncle, it’s an early morning bus that only has a few seats, an old man sits at the front, and an older lady at the back. The bus stop is a bit isolated, but there is a café on the way to the bus where people wait and stand around. <br><br>So when I got off the bus to visit my uncle, I waited at the café and after a while the bus came back with some people getting off, I was standing by the window watching as I noticed an older woman on the bus who was sitting at the back glancing at me. The bus then left again. After 10 minutes the bus came back, and the woman from the bus got off, she looked angry and was talking to the driver who just stood there. When she came close to me she said, “I don’t wish you any harm, but I don’t want you on the same bus as me. I’m scared of you.” I was taken aback, I replied, “Ma’am I’m just visiting my uncle, I’m not going to hurt you. I can get off this bus now if you like.” She said, “I want you off, I don’t like your clothes. Get off.” I looked at the driver who said nothing still, so I decided to call my friend, who I told about the whole situation. He asked if I was still on the bus, and I replied no, and he asked if I wanted to come over, I agreed, and he picked me up. <br><br>The next day me and my friend decided to take the same bus, and when we got on the bus, the same woman from the day before was on the bus sitting at the back. I told my friend about it, and he grinned, so we sat a few seats away from her. The same situation happened as the day before, the woman gets off the bus, walks to the café, and starts on her phone. My friend and I took the same bus again, and the same situation happened again, the woman tried to get me kicked off the bus for the same reason. I recorded the whole thing this time, and when she got back to the café she called the driver and tried to get him to call the police on me. <br><br>I showed my friend the video and he asked if I wanted him to do something with it, and I said yes. He then posted the video in a subchambers and it quickly gained a lot of attention, and now she is being called a Karen, and some have even said she should be arrested. I haven't heard from her since. <br><br>AITA?
