Woman tells Greek-speaking couple in grocery store to speak English,

[UkrainianGirl]

The couple also spoke with a perfect english to the white woman but she kept saying, " speak fucking english, this is america"..!

She's just mad she only knows one language.

[Squall Leonhart]

Yeah, I really feel like moving to another country.

I live in California and this has never happened to any of my relatives.

The only languages I truly get annoyed of are Spanish, Farsi, and Mandarin (if spoken by a large group of Asians)

Maybe they were loud. I have Greeks in my neighborhood and they are the only one you hear. They practically scream in stores or in the street

White Americans don't really like Southern Europeans and Slavs anyway.

Greek sounds like Spanish to some people. Maybe she thought they were Latino.

This is true. I was watching a documentary called "Human" and I was paying attention to everyone's language, and seeing how many words I could identify. After a number of Spanish, French, Arabic, and Portuguese speakers, this guy comes on and his language sounds so Spanish. I got irritated thinking, "What the Hell is this language? It sounds like Spanish or Portuguese, but if it were, I would recognize it." After listening painstakingly for several minutes, I heard him say, "Malako!" and I was like, "Oooooh! He's speaking GREEK!"

Some of these TA users should watch that video next time they want to talk about Indians in the U.S.A.

It's weird to me that this happened in LA. I mean, out of all the states in the US, California is the most ethnically diverse - even more so than NY due to the huge Asian population. You're gonna hear lots of languages, like it or not. Every race/nationality is represented there....if you aren't ok with diversity and hearing other languages, you are going to be miserable almost every second.

I could see it happening in a place like Kansas, or somewhere in the south, but LA?

Time for you to change your views.

It is the people that are around it most that are the most irritate with it.

[skunkwerks]

If you live in California you'd know that Spanish, Mandarin, and Vietnamese are the most despised languages. We are surrounded by it and have to hear it 24/7.

Farsi is quite gay sounding and annoying too

Greeks by the way are seen about as "White" as Latin Americans from Brazil i.e.-Castizos.

Farsi is quite gay sounding and annoying too.

I love Persian. Greek too. Persian's grammar is very close to Hindi.
