Title: Is it racist when..............
Post by: old-school-lifter on November 19, 2018, 03:57:53 PM
where you work there are non white people and they speak their own language to each other (not English) to each other in the common work areas eg staff room, tea room when there are white people around (who only speak english)

I find it rude that they do this.................... .I am paranoid they are always bitching behind people's backs (hence not speaking English)

getbig's thoughts?

It’s not racist, but it is exceptionally rude and ignorant.

Is it racist that I assume you have a crappy job if you have non-white, non-English speaking coworkers?

The Asians and Indians do it at work very loudly w/ each other in break rooms.
No one cares, they are hard-working engineers pulling in 130K so just normal family people. (They probably ship most of their $$$ home).
There is a diaper-head up on the 3rd floor though that looks suspicious. : )

Europeans like to use this language thing to act all superior like they’re more educated or something. The reason the Americans don’t learn another language is because we don’t have to. If I go 500 miles south or west people still speak English. That’s not the case in Europe.

It is rude.
People should try to converse in the official language in any social environments. At home, it is their choice.

Racist is when you think someone is less than you simply because of their ethnic background ...

If someone is aware that you only speak English and starts talking in another language that's just  plain rude ....

But then again, the only country where people get offended for someone being bilingual or multilingual is probably the USA  .

Racism:

- prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

- the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

What the OP describes is not racist. It's a lot of bad things, but it's not racist.

Of course, they could be calling you "pinche gringo" in spanish, but still, talking in their own language it's not racist per se.

The second definition is a “catch all” just to make whitey feel bad.
