We want to be politically correct and pretend Americans in the south and rural areas share the same values and education as people who live in metropolitan areas outside of the south. The south is very racist and xenophobic. This video doesn't surprise me in the slightest.The lady may have ranted but you didn't exactly see people come to her aid. If that had happened in Los Angeles let alone Phoenix, someone would have shouted at that lady and told her to shut the f up. You can tell a lot of those people probably sympathized with her.

This is why if you are a minority, you should really not live in the south and rural areas of the United States. They have a very different value system there and are pseudo fascist. Even their culture encompasses their religious views with Evangelical Christian dogma.

The whole southern hospitality only extends to whites. If you are a minority, it's southern scorn.

I hope the poor little linecutter isn't scared for life.
The problem here is the racist lady- she already has a problem with Hispanics, regardless of the situation. This is not the first or the last time this happens, but it has sure been augmented by D.Trump. These people feel empowered and entitled now to insult people for any little thing. Her rant is totally unwarranted- why do you all keep pussyfooting around the problem?

These types of people are just WAITING to insult their victims. A couple did the exact same thing to my mother in Florida, and made up in their heads that she was 'cutting.' Theycstarted insulting her, telling her she should de deported and all kinds of stupid BS. She's lived in the US for 45 years, seriously????

I think people need to start calling the cops right away and report these people for harassment. We need to have more records of this BS.

I was just half joking around. I already said it was a dumb move to go there. I don't take so lightly to people cutting in line though, that's one of my major pet peeves. People acting loudly and rudely in public is another one.

You must be a progressive. Almost every sentence contains a racial stereotype.

Do you live in the south? I don't think you do so all you are doing is expressing a bigoted opinion based on who know's what. Its not "xenophobic" nor "racist" to want to keep our nation American. The south has been integrated FAR longer than the north has. Opinions like yours by painting an ENTIRE region as "racist" is EXACTLY why Trump won. We are tired of the attacks on our country on our language on EVERYTHING American by those liberal elitists,by all means keep it up it just means Trump wins again in 2020.

And charge her with what exactly, expressing her opinion?

I'm a realist. We want to pretend that Kentucky is like California and people share the same values. Sorry, it's not. No one should be surprised to hear an old woman in Kentucky rant like this nor should they be surprised to see that not one person there defended the woman and instead allowed her to talk to that woman like that. The people there who watched should be ashamed but they secretly espouse what that woman said.

We need to stop extending political correctness to the south and pretend they don't espouse bigotry. It is very much a part of the culture in the south and rural areas in this country.

I hope things change around here come January 20th. If people bust their butt to come here you would think they would love their new country enough to learn its language!
You sound cranky! Feliz Navidad!!!

In my area we speak English and Spanish everywhere in public, none of the White people give a rat's ass. There are more important things to get upset over.

It's harassment, some follow people to their cars, keep yelling in their faces. I don't know if she would be charged, but it might shut her up right away and stop her from doing it again. She feels empowered and entitled to do it- her power needs to be removed and people have the right to stick up for themselves and be treated with respect.
