Some sided with the hotel housekeeper, a native of Guinea, whom they saw, initially, as a paragon of the immigrant work ethic. Others said they suspected opportunism from the start.
Some reveled in seeing a powerful man laid low; others saw the news media’s intense coverage as an unfair spectacle, a trial by headline.
Now, with Mr. Strauss-Kahn, the former managing director of the International Monetary Fund, freed from house arrest and his accuser’s credibility gravely undermined, a case that could have been written for television has grown even more complex. To many New Yorkers, it has also revealed more about how the city works, for better or for worse.
“New York seemed to have sort of got around her, and I think it quite, in a way, smacks of the New York psyche of liking to support the underdog, almost officially so,” said Christine Ekechi, 31, a physician who lives in Lower Manhattan. But with evidence now cutting the other way, “It seems that she’ll be dropped like a hot potato.”
In interviews in Brooklyn coffee shops, Queens driving ranges and Harlem parks, Ms. Ekechi and other people discussed the case as a reflection of their own New York.
Lisa Norville, 27, a nurse at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens, said she saw a double standard in the way the Manhattan district attorney’s office had backpedaled since Thursday, when investigators raised questions about the housekeeper’s asylum application and the truth of her statements to prosecutors. It reminded her, Ms. Norville said, of the hospital floor.
“They go to ask white doctors and nurses the same questions, and they believe them and don’t believe me, even though I have more experience,” she said. “I know what I’m doing, but people don’t trust me because I’m black, I’m a woman.”
The Strauss-Kahn case, she said, felt discouragingly familiar.
“We keep seeing these rich white people get off,” she said. “If it was me, or somebody like me, I’d never get away with anything like this.”
Indeed, many saw race as a defining factor in the case, as in much of city life. Cary Groden, 57, a white man from Queens, recalled the many times his adopted son, who was born in Brazil, had been pulled over by the police.
“He’s been profiled because of the way he looks,” Mr. Groden said. Similarly, the Strauss-Kahn case may have “an undercurrent of racism,” he said. “The fact that she’s black — maybe she’s not considered as being important.”
For Priyanthi Sirisean, 30, a native of Sri Lanka, the case has been especially painful. She said that when she moved to New York a decade ago, she was beaten and raped by someone she knew, but that the police told her there was not enough evidence to make an arrest.
“So when I heard about this man raping this girl, I got so upset,” she said. “She might have lied about other stuff, but I don’t think she’s lying about the rape.”
Ms. Sirisean worried that if the case dissolved, other victims’ stories might be dismissed as well. “I don’t want anybody to go through what I went through,” she said.
In a city with close to three million immigrants, many people discussed the difficult process of gaining asylum and the housekeeper’s journey from a West African village to a Bronx apartment. Law enforcement officials say she embellished her asylum claims with lies about being gang-raped, among other things.
Young Yoo, 30, the son of Chinese immigrants, said it was unfair to brand the housekeeper a liar, even if what she told immigration authorities was not accurate.
“You should absolutely expect her to be nervous around authority and to make some misstatements,” said Mr. Yoo, a corporate lawyer. “The fact that there are some inconsistencies about how she came to this country should have no bearing on what happened that night.”
But some immigrants did not side with the housekeeper, even if they could relate to her struggles.
After nearly four decades in New York, Miguel Sanchez, 61, a native of Mexico, said he understood what makes the city tick.
