      @@Ty2Tito No one is forcing anyone to speak English. It's common sense if you move to a nation to learn their language. If I moved to China I would learn Chinese, I wouldn't complain about it and say they were forcing me too. Also, race and language aren't the same, how is asking a customer to speak your language because you don't understand more than one language racist. Europe is white and has many many languages besides English.

    I used to live in Van Nuys, California, and there were many businesses that would answer the phone in Spanish. I would ask a question about the price of the product they were selling (bottled water, for one example), and they would just say, "No English." I would do my best to speak to them in Spanish and they would literally say that nobody in their business spoke English. They literally have a neighborhood with enough Spanish-speaking customers that they don't need any English speaking customers at all, and don't even try to speak English. Also in California, I have asked a question of a person with a Target or Wal-mart vest on, asking them in what section of the store I could find a product. I could see in their eyes that they didn't understand a word. In a minute, another employee would swoop in and ask what I needed help with, to let the other employee off the hook. These things were very surprising to me.

      It’s kind of like when on occasion I’ll get a non English speaking uber/lyft driver. They get upset when you ask questions or try to answer theirs and you can’t speak their language. It’s frustrating. GPS isn’t always exact and I have to explain directions to my house or the app will bring us way on the other side of a very large condo complex. I totally understand where this man is coming from. It’s not racism , not even close.

    One more thing, he’s sign wasn’t like “if you speak Spanish/Chinese/Japanese/Korean or whatever, $10 extra”. To be racism, it has to have a targeted RACE and belief of its inferiority/superiority.

      Nothing racist at all. You are in a Country where the first language is English. I'm sure the fellow is being sarcastic with his sign, incorrectly spelling words on purpose to make his point and to say 'up yours', it's my business, make the effort to speak my language as well as you can while we do business. Bad grammar is like talking English using a French accent because you are talking to a French speaking person thinking it will be better understood. The word 'Racist'' is used far too much, it is watered down with over use.

      He speaks English just fine, you are confusing the written word with the spoken. Even as little as 100 years ago many native English speakers could not read or write their own language. According to you that means they don't know English. Some languages don't even have a written form. If you read the sign out loud the English is just fine. Another interesting note is that before the advent of the dictionary, the English language had no standardized spelling, and people were free to write as they please. Read any of the founders' documents for example and tell me they don't know English. I'd wager that most contemporary words were actually spelled differently at different times throughout history, despite being spoken the same.

    Race and language are not the same thing. Everyone is taking this as antihispanic because Spanish is the second language of the USA. The same would apply to a Russian who spoke no English, also their are fully white Hispanics. So to say this is racist makes literally no sense.
    In fact I think it's racist to say its racist, because you are basically saying English is a white people language and no white people speak Spanish only, when ofcourse Spain is a nation in Europe.
