Am I a bad guy? I don't think so

So some lady went on a tirade about me being racist for saying that it should be a requirement for foreign people who wish to live in the United States should learn English. each day I encounter people at my job who can't speak English at all not even broken English and even that in the work force slows everyone down.

Personally I don't have the time to keep bringing out my translator for temporary workers. and now I'm not saying they should forget their native tongue entirely but they need to learn enough for reasonable communication. any thoughts on this really I think that lady has no idea of what the word racist means my reasoning is very logical.

you're not a racist...i'll even flip it around by saying some of my coworkers are racist. they've been living in my country (canada) for over 20 plus years and have canadian citizenship. while we are conducting business they only speak in their native tongue. if they want to speak in it when i'm not involved or on breaks i'm cool with that...but when i'm involved i find it phukking rude...it's a kick in the teeth to our heritage....
