Manager does a job well done by standing up to these two ignorant ladies!
It's hard to hear and see anything until the 2:38 time stamp.

Laughable, but this happens far too often.

(53,778 posts)obviously never been out of the country and found that much of the rest of the world is at least bi-lingual. And they obviously haven't seen any sun in years as they're white as ghosts.
And one might reasonably guess that they hate what they see as "bad" changes without realizing that the US has always been a multicultural country.

Same thing here in California.

(6,641 posts)a lot of people in Europe are bi-lingual. I imagine if they went to Spain they would not be insulted by people speaking English in their own country, they would expect to be spoken to in English instead of Spanish.

(9,730 posts)Not by a long shot. The title "lady," like "gentleman," is one that needs to be earned. These female human beings are vile and bigoted and deserve no other title.

The prejudice and ignorance of those two women was disgusting but even worse you can tell they were proud of their ignorance. Take your Spanish back to Mexico?!? You shouldnt speak Spanish here?!?
They should go back to idiotville.

Same video, same angle.

(7,617 posts)I originally found this video on Occupy Democrats FB page. For some reason I can link a direct video from YouTube but not from a website.
I was trying to find a video for you that had quite a few views on it.

(17,984 posts)1. Obviously they are racist
2. They are paranoid that people are speaking about them in a different language
3. They are deeply afraid that Hispanics are taking over the country (and I can hardly wait for that to happen)
Niagara
(7,617 posts)It seems to be getting more common for racist to verbally and physically attack others who are different than them.
I believe another combination for this would be how they were raised and they believe that it's okay, when it's not.

(17,984 posts)One thing is resoundingly clear: This has nothing to do with "economic anxiety." I think we can lay that lame excuse to rest.
Niagara
(7,617 posts)You and I both know that it was never about "economic anxiety".
