That is possible and also the fact that we have so many illegal alien Spanish speakers in our country illegally it may have set her off. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of them in San Jose. Calif. alone has the most illegal aliens of any state. They are merely possible explanations for her behavior not justifications but the liberals in here feel the need to play the race card anyway. So typical of them.

What's hypocritical to me is a poster saying that our borders are merely a line in the sand and yet they call this woman a kook? LOL!

This isn't an illegal alien thread even though you do your best to turn everything you post into immigration. The topic is about someone speaking another language other than English out in public people have different reasons for it and basically it boils down to the fact that other people's private conversations are nobody's business. The stupid cashier had no business sticking her damn nose into two friends private conversation. Her demanding they speak in English just highlighted what a fool she is.

Probably every one under the sun except that. Getting angry when you hear Spanish is a good indicator that you are an ANTI-racist who is upset with the government's racist anti-white immigration policies.

Because it's a free country and it's none of your darned business what they speak to each other in a private conversation if it doesn't involve you. Go ahead and try that with me - I will kindly but firmly tell you to stuff it.

The most notable thing about this whole video, IMHO, is that the other employee seems totally oblivious.

Old white women like that give old white women a bad reputation. As an old white woman myself, I resent that!

She's probably just jealous that this customer speaks another language and STILL speaks English better than she does.

It's actually a good thing. A lot of Americans don't know that these people exist and that people get treated like this. It's unfortunate, but awareness is a good start.

And I was lucky because a woman who is my friend and also Spanish speaking told me later on after they all had left what had been saying about me. I also had it happen to me with a group of people who were speaking Tagalog around me as well. Both occasions happened in my workplace. So we don't know yet, but perhaps this is what she had experienced in the past which now set her off. If you ever experience this type of thing, especially in the workplace, you won't forget it and it will trigger you if a similar situation arises.

I'm not that sensitive to others around me. They can say whatever they want about me. Although, I think we elevate ourselves thinking strangers think that much that they waste time and energy making fun of a stranger. That is on them, not you. Maybe you are disabled or disfigured in some way. If so, I'd suggest talking to a professional to help you be happy with yourself. Good luck.
