Woman Tells Two Korean Students to Speak English Only at California Starbucks
I wonder if this woman has mental problems because can someone really be this stupid?:
A woman was kicked out of a Starbucks in California for a racially insensitive remark to two college students speaking Korean.
South Korean international student Annie An was at a tutoring session with Sean Lee, a South Korean native and UC Berkeley student at a Starbucks in Walnut Creek, California when a patron approached them after hearing the two speak Korean.
“This is America. Use English only,” said the unnamed woman, who was sitting nearby using a laptop, according to An.
An continued to film the woman as Starbucks employees were asking her to leave, KRON reported.
“I hate it,” the woman says in the video. “If you can sit and be quiet, fine, but I don’t want to hear your language.”
Starbucks employees continue to ask the woman to leave. “They’re welcome to be here, they’re doing nothing wrong. You’re the one that’s causing an issue,” an employee tells her. “You’re gonna be in trouble when I get this letter out,” the woman responds. An employee points out that she’s just tapping numbers on the keyboard.Another employee tells her if she doesn’t leave, they will call the police. Three officers later escorted the woman out of the coffee shop. The woman continued to complain about the students speaking Korean as she was forced to leave, according to An. The video went viral and has been viewed by over a million viewers and has been shared over 5,000 times by Friday on Facebook. Many Facebook users were outraged by the woman’s comments. [Newsweek]

“A woman was kicked out of a Starbucks in California for a racially insensitive remark to two college students speaking Korean”
I quit caring the moment the article replaced the concept of nationalist with racist.
Doug, she may or may not be a racist…
…but telling people to speak English in America is a form of nationalism rather than racism.
Fortunately, freedom of speech allows anyone to speak anything in America.
On the other hand, English should be declared the official language of America and all government operations should only be conducted in English.
Press 1 for English
Press 2 to learn English
Story quoted above leaves out her rather racist comments. Of course, it is likely blue on blue since Fivebucks doesn’t want Republican clientele…
The real crime here is that Starbucks still tries charging $4.25 for a lemon bar. 😡
“English should be declared the official language of America and all government operations should only be conducted in English.”
Well despite my hatred for State I think that doing biz in English-only would make their job near impossible. 😛
What benefit is there to proclaiming English as official? The topic of an official language is nothing but a beacon for those easily distracted from real issues.
CH I’m going to assume you’re just messing around on this one. 😉
Silly Smokes, you have confused the letter of my comment with the spirit of my comment.
America has enough division without creating yet another with language.
Those in America wishing to interact with the Anerican government should do it in English.
It would take 5 minutes to declare…
…and another hour erasing the government websites in Spanish explaining how to get foodstamps and free child birthing.
I guess she got tired of ESL and picked on the first easy foreigners she saw. No way she does that to MS-13.
They were being arrogant/annoying, just like those Spanish speakers in public. Being advanced English speakers they could have easily carried on their conversation in English. We all know what was really going on. Don’t play stupid…PLEASE!
