When I go to the VA Hospital for an appointment there is enough time for me to have my breakfast in the cafeteria.

I order my eggs or pancakes etc in Spanish since the Hispanic woman can understand me better even tho she does speak/understands English via working there.

If you're frustrated with something, it's okay to publicly berate someone who doesn't have anything to do with your frustrations, but just so happens to look like the people you have a problem with? Yeah, that makes sense.

Classy.
ONCE AGAIN, it's my opinion on WHY SHE DID IT. I would not personally yell at someone for speaking another language but I gave a reason for why I think SHE did.

Geez.

READ people. It helps. Understand context.

What about that McDonalds in Rosarito, Steve?

There was NO reason to do this. No justification. No basis. No rationale. No excuse.


READ that.

Maybe to YOU. She clearly had a reason, because she did it.

She had a reason to go up to random people, who she doesn't know, never seen before and will probably never see again, and berate and embarrass in public because of an issue she that has nothing to do with the person she was verbally attacking? Me thinks she wouldn't do this to a person speaking French.

And yeah, to me. People who, you know, have class, common sense, tact, decency, discernment, manners and weren't raised in a barn.


I'll say this, her little rant did a lot of good for Illegal Immigration. Yup.

Yeah. She had a reason. She was obviously angry, frustrated, insulted, or tired about something she saw or heard. I can't think of any other reason someone would snap like that except out of anger or a similar emotion. Like it or not, agree with it or not, in her mind she had a reason for doing what she did. People don't just do things like that for no reason. Do you ever yell at or snap at anyone for no reason? I know I don't. I have a reason, whether it's right or wrong.

Well, be wrong then.

You'll just give the person you have reason to snap on a reason to "respond" however they see fit.

You aren't a mind reader. Lol. Your post only speaks of your thought process. The old cauasian woman behaved very poorly period, for some reason you feel the need to defend her poor behavior. Do you think that her behavior was acceptable?
