Well the lady was obviously not having a good day, but I think with the frustrations of Christmas shopping and then having to deal with an immigrant who can't speak English ( probably dealt with many before this) was enough to set her off.
I think it's another example where multiculturalism does not work well at all. You wonder how many other people there felt the same way but didn't say anything.

Some people lack rationalism. They've now been empowered to show their ignorance, for many their bigotry was always just a nanometer away, so now they're using their right of expression in a despicable wretched way.
Her rant is inexcusable however it would appear the other woman may have cut in line which no doubt set her off.
Seems to me the problem here is a distinct lack of courtesy on the part of the lane cutter. Or maybe a sign of racism by the lane cutter. In my part of California Latina/white racism is pretty common.
No, welcome from the world of Obama.
The white woman was completely out of line. She shouldn't talk to anybody that way. The irony is, her victim probably didn't understand what was being said anyway.
Nothing triggers resentment like unintelligible English. It is a sore spot with most people when we cannot understand what is being said to us in our own country. Most of us are pretty tolerant however.
We can't really blame the immigrants. It is the government that has made it so that newcomers don't have to learn the language and I don't think that's a good thing. Learning the language as quickly as possible is to the benefit of all and without language skills communication is going to be poor.
It takes a concentrated effort to speak a new language well. One can know the words but not be able to pronounce them properly and that is just as bad as not understanding the words at all.
