The bottom part is just not true.
Every country has one official language. The one in the US is English. Now I am not saying everyone should speak English I am just saying that is the official language.
Its the same with the Netherlands. The official language is Dutch. Does everyone speak it? No. But it still is the official language.
Apparently they are in a hub of racist douchebags... just like this thread.
They were acting fine until a racist asshole asshole started yelling at them. When you defend a racist asshole, you don’t get to blame others for being an asshole right back.

The United States does not have an official language.
What a dumb cunt!
Seriously of all the things to argue about and to sink your entire business why did he think this was a good hill to die on?
We now live in a world where every little thing can be videoed and put on the internet to go viral so now he can kiss goodbye his reputation and most likely his livelihood.
This is the world we live in folks so if you wanna rage you better have a good reason cause if you don't your career and social life is forfeit!! Cause this twat can kiss goodbye to his reputation in a city that reputation means everything!!
False.
"the US has no official national language"
From the CIA world factbook.

The UK and Australia also do not have an official national language, along with Costa Rica and a handful of African nations.

There is no official language at the U.S. federal level. However, 32 states of the United States, in some cases as part of what has been called the English-only movement, have adopted legislation granting official status to English. Out of 50 states, 30 have established English as the only official language, while Hawaii recognizes both English and Hawaiian as official, and Alaska has made some 20 native languages official, along with English.
So 30 out of the 50 states have an offical language. New York doesn't and seeing this happened in New York you guys are correct.
So if the said customer could not order in English, they should just not serve him/her? Imagine going to China or most of EU, and not speaking their native language. But you meet an American behind the counter who will not take your order in English, cause 'Its a restaurant where they don't speak English'?
Also, the manager acted with decency, and asked the customer to leave without escalating the situation. The lady who screamed about the "lawyer" getting hit by a car was equally irresponsible in responding in that manner.
I've grown terribly bored with this thread.
It lost all its meaning when the racial baiters started writing the word "racism" 20 times in the same post.
You are about the 15th person who made the same false claim in this thread. You are spreading falsehoods and tacitly defending a racist asshole, so if you don’t like my tone, I don’t much care.

Maybe you should stop being racist if you don’t want people to point it out.

If me being for free speech which includes people being able to be dickheads to others.
Then yeah in defending him.
Do I agree with what he says? No I don't. I already said that in a post earlier.
Difference is is that I will defend anyone to be able to speak his/her mind as long as it doesn't get physical.
1. Your statements were that every country has an official language and the one for the US was English. Both of these statements were false. I like how many people in this thread have shifted immediately to bringing up state languages when their national language statement is proven false out of absolute refusal to simply concede a very basic point. Taking place in New York as that state has no official language isn't what makes us correct, the US having no official language is.
2. As has been stated repeatedly in this thread, having an official national (or state) language pertains to how the government provides information and documentation. It has no bearing on how employees at a private company are allowed to converse, especially in informal conversation.
