Woman has a racist meltdown after hearing Spanish on TV at pizzeria

ThatOwlWoman said:
I grew up in white bread mayo Midwest mostly white America. In my 40s I spent 11 years in a rural Missouri county. Then I moved to STL to be with Mr. Owl In the last two places, overhearing Spanish in the store was common. In the STL place it was other languages as well. It was beautiful to hear, to me it was what I was taught as a kid that America is -- a place that welcomes all. My grandmother was an immigrant who spoke French. Always envied kids who grew up in bi or trilingual households. What a gift to live where you can hear the music of languages other than your birth one. I envy you!

I took French in HS but never got to use it much, my Grandparents native tongue was Yiddish but not to many Yiddish speakers here in NC but when I go back to NY I love it

side note , although he wasn't Jewish James Cagney spoke Yiddish

Cagney, although of three quarters Irish and one quarter Norwegian extraction, could speak Yiddish, since he had grown up in a heavily Jewish area in New York. He used to converse in Yiddish with Jewish performers like Paul Muni, Sylvia Sidney and John Garfield.

I appreciate your devil's advocate approach, and the positive spin on it.

But our discourse SUCKS. From DC to the internet to day-to-day encounters. Sure, there are positive interactions, and many of them. But our discourse has never been worse in my lifetime.

Well the melting pot can no longer exist. If you see something good in another culture and we want to adopt it then you are culturally appropriating it rather than recognizing that it is good and emulating it. If you see something cool and mention it, often it is what is now called a "microagression" rather than seen as simply liking something. When normal human interactions are labeled and separated by race and limited by the same you will find that interactions will become less than what is expected. When it seems you cannot recognize excellence, then it seems that all you have is silence and some lash out.

There were mostly, pretty much completely, other Italians in my favorite pizza joints growing up, so I rarely saw problems like this.

Now the mom and pops are gone and the chains have taken over.
They don't belong to anyone, ethnically speaking.
I wouldn't expect just fellow-dagos there, and I thought that everybody else was pretty much the same.

Apparently not.

What about her indicates she's a "lib'rul?"

To me, she seems like she'd be right at home at a Trump rally. Just a hunch.

I think the other fuckwit, the one that started the thread, also thought she seems she'd be right at home at a Trump rally......however, we've all seen how many times the true racists turned out to be lib'rul karens.....take for example the original Karen......it's only your own fuckwitted and consistently wrong assumptions that direct your "seems-to-me"-isms......

We can all look at something like this and have a chuckle. But man, our discourse just continues down this path.

Why are people so pissed off? Everyone is just working, trying to make ends meet, trying to make the best of their lives. Because a TV had a fucking Spanish channel on? That inspired a rant like this?

We've lost our compass or something. If this was a one off, it's no big deal - but this kind of stuff happens all the time now. Just about everyone is an "other." And "others" are BAD.

Gee...wonder who kicked that one into overdrive?

It's interesting how immigrants always seemed to clump together in the same areas. Even in the 21st century most cities have enclaves of ppl descended from them. In St. Louis, The Hill was and still is Italian in nature. Here, it's Finnish everything from surnames to lutefisk. My maternal g-ma was from Switzerland; they settled in a Polish "ghetto" in Grand Rapids and spread out from there. I guess there just weren't that many Swiss immigrants to form their own enclave.

Saw an article last night with the new head of the USGA (Golf's governing body in the U.S.) who is a black man. The interviewer said "Inclusion can sometimes lead to assimilation. How do you guard against that?"

Think about what that entails. It's like the opposite of a melting pot.

You can't guard against it and thats exactly what leftists want. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. It's going to take people waking up to the absurdity of this bullshit to put a stop to it. Sadly though too many peopme today are buying all this crap.
 
My grandfather (the one that adopted my father, the Native American father of mine... :D ) was born in a small town in Colorado (Sterling), his family had immigrated from Russia (Volga Russians, they were brought to Russia from Germany to bring "Culture" to the Russians, but they never really melded...) earlier, but there was such a strong group of German immigrants there that his birth certificate, though issued in Sterling, CO, was entirely in German.

I had a Great Aunt that never spoke English (though she understood it), our conversations were weird. She'd speak German to us, we'd answer in English. I had a Great Uncle that actually was in the German Work Camp in Georgetown (Georgetown, CO not the neighborhood in DC LOL) during WWII while my Grandfather was serving (he was a Master Sergeant in the Army Air Corps) in the European theater. As a prisoner, not as a guard... Frikin' weird...

Anyway, my Grandfather spoke German, Russian and English fluently, and never passed on any of the languages to his son, well, save English LOL.
