Spanish is a very loud language. Torres may have been disturbing everyone around him.

Since you know that there is more, why don't you share it with us? Tell us the rest of the story.

Also...Spanish is a "loud language?" What does that even mean? I heard one person being loud on that video, and it wasn't Torres.

It looked a lot like anger to me.

None of the other passengers nearby seemed to have any problem with him. They only had an issue with the guy in the wheelchair.

Besides, Spanish is a very loud language?!? WTF??

I wish they would just make the US national language Spanish. It will at least shut the uneducated idiots up that can't be bothered to or have the intelligence to pick up Spanish.

I think most people know this.
I've never had this happen to me but I am a white woman. However, I've read and heard many accounts from minorities saying they are treated poorly and I've seen whites act as if minorities are lying to get sympathy.

Maybe YOU understand that this happens to people, but many others do not. They believe because we had a black president, we live in a post-racism society. We certainly do not and these videos prove it.

How well do you understand the problem of the racism of blacks attacking Asians?

This is probably something many people choose to ignore. Should I start a thread with videos of it happening or do you agree it's a problem?

Standing in line at the pharmacy I had some old woman climb all over me because I had insurance covering my meds...... and she did not. A$$holes do not simply practice being racist..........

If an Asian person told me they were attacked by a black person, I'd believe them. You can post as many videos as you'd like. I'm not the one discounting other people's experiences nor am I acting as if this should be just an acceptable part of life.
