American citizens have the right to move anywhere they want to in the continental U.S. Sorry if you don't like that. At least these so-called Yankees speak English. Americans cannot steal jobs from other Americans. Are you for real? Look to the millions of illegal invaders from south of our border in your state for that. Sounds like you're the xenophobic from your posts.
Yeah really. When I lived in Dallas in the 1980s it was very white in most areas and lots of people were Yankees from places like Michigan who had been there since the 1970s and earlier. Today some people act like it was always so Hispanic and Spanish speaking and didn't have all these Yankees lol. Just who are the real "outsiders"?

The incident was not a language issue; it is clearly racist.
My statement had to do with the OP's posted statement and your posted link make no mention of race just that ""I understand her, I just don't want to."
Yup...there are people who live their entire lives in Texas and never learn English because they don't have to. They have radio stations, TV, newspapers, etc. in Spanish. People in stores wear "yo hablo Espanol" buttons, packaging & owner manuals are printed in English AND Spanish, most IVR systems have an option for Spanish, etc. The system is set up so Spanish-speakers never have to learn English.
(And that's wrong.)
Same here in So. Calif. everything you've said and observed is also true here.
That’s because the region's Mexican population is growing as never before: 40 percent in Miami-Dade County the past decade, to more than 60,000.
Miami-Dade County has a population of 2.8 million so 60,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to other hispanics.
Miami-Dade County :
Hispanic population | percentage :
1,623,859 | 65.0%
Largest Groups:
Cubans 34.3%
Colombians 4.6%
Nicaraguans 4.2%
11% of the county’s population is South American. Miami has the largest number of Dominicans, 58,000, and Costa Ricans, 6,736.
My statement had to do with the OP's posted statement and your posted link make no mention of race just that ""I understand her, I just don't want to."
Why didn't she "want to"? Telling the customers to go to the store in a predominantly black area says volumes to me.

Then your reading more into it than I am, I am taking it on the face value. I realize every thing today must be a slight against something race, woman, vegans, gays etc but I don't see it.

Why do you think she did it? Did she not like the car they were in?

I can't answer that and there may have been others that she rejected but didn't take it to press, I don't know. Again you read more into it than I do so we'll leave it there.
Watch as Breitbart, becomes the next coyote call target, as INFOwars has been deplatformed and they got nothing to do...
Alex Jones "deplatformed" himself.
The lack of personal responsibility he displays is staggering.
