You can definitely use those words, but it still doesn't make it "racist".

Here's a possible explanation:

Quote:
She's angry because she has had experience first hand in the past of people talking trash about her in Spanish so she won't know that they are talking about her like that. We really don't know the full reason behind it yet, do we? I had that happen to me before. 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.

These threads are just feel good parties for race obsessed leftists saying "I told you so".

Uh, yes it does, if that person becomes enraged at hearing Spanish.

She demanded that the customer prove that she was born in the USA when the customer told her she was born in the country so yeah if she's not a racist she's pretty close.

What are you doing to people that causes you to be so paranoid about what they might say about you?


Not once have I ever walked by my coworkers, heard a foreign language and decided that they must be talking about me.


Even if your worry was rational, how does that apply to going off on a complete stranger in a convenience store? Are you paranoid that everybody you see is talking about you behind your back?
Not paranoid at all. Just suggesting what this person may have experienced which now has an impact on how she interacts.

What's does one's skin color have to do with it? Black Americans are people of color and they speak English.
