that the cashiers at McDonalds are gossiping about them in Spanish?

One time when I was coming back from Europe this older couple next to me on the plane said a French clerk was rude to them because he spoke French to someone else right in front of them.

It is a difficult attitude to fix with our anti-intellectual crap here.

You know it's funny, white people love to repeat the thing about black kids dogging someone who studies as "acting white," but they will take great pride in an ignorance of language that would keep them from gettig a job as a bathroom attendant in most countries.
