Is it racist to stare at people who speak another language cause you dont like they speak another language ?

i always find myself doing it and thinking "go home"

I read about some redneck in a grocery store line yelling at two browner-skinned men "Hey, we speak English here! Go back to Mexico if you can't!" They smiled at him. "We're speaking Navajo, sir. Get out of our country if you don't like it."

Hint: Navajo is one of the many languages spoken by what some of you call "Indians," because back in 1492 the savage leader of a gang from Europe was too dumb to know he hadn't landed in India. This sort of behavior continues today in many ignorant traditions some call "white."

It's not necessarily racist, but it's pretty stupid.

It's getting into their business rather than minding yours.

Lol ehh not really I mainly do that when they speak to me in a different language and I'm like "how tf do you except me to know this"
@TacoCat idk maybe they think you’re Japanese 😂lol.

i don’t know why they speak to me in Spanish because I’m clearly not Hispanic. It’s mainly at the Mexican restaurant I go to the guy just talks to me in Spanish like I know Spanish for some reason. It’s awkward but it’s okay.

Not racist but inconsiderate and ignorant

@IstillmissEP as long as they’re not being spoken to in Spanish I don’t see how it’s rude. They just sound entitled and ignorant simply because those few patients don’t understand the language/conversation two employees are having among each other it shouldn’t be allowed ? Sounds silly.

@IstillmissEP yes its confusing, and they usually speaks pretty loud for some reason, lived in a b&b for 4 months with spanish & french speakers (comes in usually for a few days ) they spoke sooo loudly and were always slamming the doors, idk if that was normal behavior but just was too much.
