Edited to add: Oh, I said "Hispanic". SUAS stays locked in her husband's dungeon, and knows nothing about the issues that this area is having with illegal immigration. She knows nothing of what it's like to lose benefits you pay for out of your taxes to someone who can't even document their damn status here. I live in a place where they give these folks housing, medicaid, but people who actually work and pay taxes that these benefits come out of can't get a thing. She doesn't know...so I forgive her.
How did you figure this person was an illegal immigrant? All that does is further confirm your prejudices.
This is straight up racist:
I felt kind of perturbed, because this guy obviously would have played the "I can't read English" card. He was Hispanic, and they always do that around here, especially when in court for tickets and the like. I've seen it far too often.
It assumes a person will dishonestly claim they can't read English in order to get around obeying the store's policies because he is Hispanic.
