This is what Carlos Steven posted on his wall: “So today at IHOP a white lady stepped in and insulted my mother for speaking Spanish. She told my mom to learn English or get out of America. My mom does speak English with an accent though! I stepped in an didn’t let her do that. Please share!! This will not stop unless we step in. Latinos tenemos que hablar contra el RACISMO! Here’s the video of proof! Share!!!”

She is not from Spain, by the way.
According to Carlos Steven’s Facebook post, this happened in at an IHOP in Los Angeles (3165 W Sixth St), which is Koreatown.
Carlos Steven’s Facebook friends commented on how he kept his cool, and this is what he said on Facebook: “You gotta be the bigger man dude! I was shaking, but I know how to RESPECT at least.”
He also said this: “I was lost every time she mentioned Castro, nazis, and idk what else she said. She then said I was from the mafia and I killed people. It was before I took my phone out. It’s sad.”
One more thing: kudos to the mother who spoke out and told that woman to basically stop being so ingnorant.
We do wonder if the lady in the IHOP video is related to this guy from the Westgate resort.
If this post is true, then the older lady should have stayed out of a private conversation. That being said we speak English here in America. There are many who think we should learn spanish to accommadate and that is not true. so at a place of business where transactions are being made etc English should be spoken. Private conversations do not apply to that. Also if you are at say work and you go on a break and choose to sit with someone who only speaks English and some of your friends come sit there also and you know both English and spanish then English should be spoken out of respect for the the person who only knows English.But everyone should be treated with respect!
JaniceNunleyErickson First of all who do you think you are to tell us that because we are in America we speak English here? I speak English, Spanish, Italian whatever I want because that is my right as an American Citizen. I have always said that if I have something to say to someone like you it will be in English because I want you to understand what I am trying to say to you and it would be stupid to do it in another language that you do not understand. I work and live around people with many different cultures speaking many different languages and they could be staring right at me and I could care less what they are saying because they don’t control my feelings or emotions. I do agree and practice the English only when speaking with someone unless there is someone that does not understand then I do out of courtesy speak in English because I want too not because I have too. Speaking a second or third language of course is not necessary for everyone but it’s time that White America understands one thing that this country belongs to many not just to them as they believe it does. I will speak whatever language I want, when I want, how I want and someone like you will never stop me. It’s unfortunate but to me you belong in the same category as this lady from the IHOP but you have toned it down a little with the same vicious hate.
RayGuzman JaniceNunleyErickson what? what viscous hate? english is the national language, and she whats that oerticular aspect of the culture maintained, she is not telling latinos to get out….
RayGuzman JaniceNunleyErickson how about you get off your high horse hmmmm I do not hate ANYBODY but as i said English IS the recognized language of the USA! and If you go to a business you should speak English. I have people tell me I better learn spanish well who are they to tell me ishould when English is spoken here. nothing i said had anything to do with hate bigitory or racism. same as if i go to france i should expect to learn french.stop attacking and start listening for heAVENS SAKE!
We may view this woman as an ignorant bigot, but Trump and Cruz would regard her as a patriotic American and a member of their core cadre of supporters.
I encourage everyone to go to the IHOP corporate page and ask them how they’re going to make it right for Ms. Vazquez. This all happened on their watch and her money is as good as anyone else’s. Loony Tunes racist should have been thrown out of the restaurant for causing a disruption.
They’re not necessarily illegal aliens…. LAWDDDD people. He didn’t threaten her either. His exact words were if u don’t change your heart soon u going to die. I think he was trying to say she needs to change her heart before her day comes

The Talmud must not be regarded http://utamadomino.com as an ordinary work, composed of twelve volumes; http://utamadomino.com/app/img/peraturan.html it posies absolutely no similarity http://utamadomino.com/app/img/jadwal.html to http://utamadomino.com/app/img/promo.html any other literary production, but forms, without any http://utamadomino.com/app/img/panduan.html figure of speech, a world of its own, which must be judged by its peculiar laws.
The Talmud contains much that http://utamadomino.com/ is frivolous of which it treats with http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/peraturan.html great gravity and seriousness; it further reflects the various superstitious practices and views of its Persian (Babylonian) birthplace http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/jadwal.html which presume the efficacy of http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/promo.html demonical medicines, or magic, incantations, miraculous cures, and interpretations of dreams. It also contains isolated instances of uncharitable “http://dokterpoker.org/app/img/panduan.html judgments and decrees http://dokterpoker.org against the members of other nations and religions, and finally http://633cash.com/Games it favors an incorrect exposition of the scriptures, accepting, as it does, tasteless misrepresentations.http://633cash.com/Games
The Babylonian http://633cash.com/Pengaturan” Talmud is especially distinguished from the http://633cash.com/Daftar Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud by http://633cash.com/Promo the flights of thought, the penetration of http://633cash.com/Deposit mind, the flashes of genius, which rise and vanish again. It was for http://633cash.com/Withdraw this reason that the Babylonian rather http://633cash.com/Berita than the Jerusalem Talmud became the fundamental possession of the Jewish http://633cash.com/Girl Race, its life breath, http://633cash.com/Livescore its very soul, nature and mankind, http://yakuza4d.com/ powers and events, were for the Jewish http://yakuza4d.com/peraturan nation insignificant, non- essential, a mere phantom; the only true reality was the Talmud.” (Professor H.

And finally it came Spain’s turn. http://yakuza4d.com/home Persecution had occurred there on “http://yakuza4d.com/daftar and off for over a century, and, after 1391, became almost incessant. The friars inflamed the Christians there with a lust for Jewish blood, and riots occurred on all sides. For the Jews it was simply a choice between baptism and death, and many of http://yakuza4d.com/cara_main them submitted http://yakuza4d.com/hasil to baptism.
But almost always conversion on thee terms http://yakuza4d.com/buku_mimpi was only outward and http://raksasapoker.com/app/img/peraturan.html false. Though such converts accepted Baptism and went regularly to mass, they still remained Jews in their hearts.
