A white woman eating at a Mexican restaurant in West Virginia insulted the manager after she heard him speak Spanish.

A video showing a white woman swearing at the general manager of a Mexican restaurant in West Virginia for speaking Spanish went viral over the weekend.

“English is our first language, so you need to speak English,” the woman, identified in the video as Jill, screamed at Sergio Budar, the manager. “Get the f--- out of my country.”

One of two videos capturing the incident shows how customers at Tampico Mexican Restaurant in Parkersburg, West Virginia, were astonished at the woman’s remarks.

“It makes me feel angry, sad. It's unbelievable that we're still seeing this kind of behavior to this day,” Budar, who's originally from Mexico, told NBC News. “I’ve been living here for almost two decades, and counting. I got my U.S. citizenship while here, but that doesn’t mean that people can’t speak other languages that are not English.”

How perfect would it be for a group of American Indians to go around telling people to stop speaking English in THEIR land. Then turn around and say "Just Kidding. We're not like the invaders of our land. You can speak any language you desire. Just please stop killing people though."

I dont understand this modern line of reasoning. The way I see it, people should never be silenced ever. Its only then that stuff backfires. Whatever it is, you need people to express themselves.

With that being said, that woman is a freaking imbecile. He should have told her that to her face, shes a close minded idiot.

I used to hear this in upstate NY early 90s (it was sort of 'tolerated' or not viewed as such a bad thing to say), more so to people speaking south east asian languages, then the immigrant communities got bigger and bigger, it sort of stop. Once Trump started running for president, kinda catch people saying it again, even in NYC

"Get out of my country"
"Bttch, get out of my restaurant." Should have been the response.

Guaranteed this tw (@) t hasn't done a damn thing for "her" country. These entitled POS's need a dose of reality... living in some dream world. makes me sick.

In fact, she has a friend who has a friend who is a friend with a Spanish person.

Oh wait.

If that reasoning gets people to act less racist, I'm all for it.

If you go to a Mexican restaurant you should expect the staff to talk Spanish between themselves, you should expect background music in Spanish, and you should expect that some things on the menu are in Spanish. If you don't like it, don't go to a Mexican restaurant. Heck, don't go to a restaurant from a Spanish speaking country. Geez these people.

LOL. Context and nuance. The lost art.

You guys really don’t see the difference? If not, I’ll give you a real world example.

The reverse just happened with a “racist” mexican woman who assaulted a white man wearing a MAGA hat while dining at a mexican restaurant. Guess these folks are cut from the same racist cloth?

Yes, telling someone to get out of my country because they are speaking Spanish in their establishment is very very much like confronting someone wearing a political hat that proudly stands for exactly that sentiment. Those are exactly the same.
