Focus on the manager who stood up for his staff.

Unfortunately, our culture of empathy has dwindled. No one wants to get involved. I hate where we are going as a people.

this. I've suggested we teach empathy in grade school

That’s what I never understand. Soooo many white people on twitter support us and hate people like this yet soooo many white people stand/sit/eat/shop and watch as this happens EVERYDAY

The man is even using some of them as examples to back up his hate-filled argument yet no one intervened. Sad

Recently stopped a white woman yelling at an Indian employee at a store because she "couldn't understand what she was saying". She got in my face & cursed at me thinking it would scare me. It didn't but hopefully stopped her from treating anyone else like that again.

I've learned that 100% of all bigots of this variety are laboring under the delusion that those speaking in a foreign language are talking shit about them. They are terrified of it, in fact. It consumes them and fuels outbursts like this one.

Completely agree. When I speak Spanish around non-Spanish speakers, they instantly assume we are talking about them. Whatever dude, go learn a second language.

I worked at a McD's. one of managers used to freak out at my Bengali coworkers when they spoke anything other than English. Always assumed they were saying nasty things about her. I don't speak Bengali, but I speak line worker and was sure that was the majority of the convos.

Oh I know. I remember when I was traveling to Oklahoma, I was just speaking Hindi/Urdu with my mom causally and immediately noticed “the look”. I told my mom about it and she got scared for me so she told me to speak in English.

No sweetie you have every right to speak whatever language you want. This is America which bigot immigrants like this man seem to forget. OUR country is a melting pot for many nationalities. If THEY don’t like it, THEY can go back to wherever their ancestors came from.
