So she would be pissed if she heard Spanish in Japan? As a non-Japanese speaker, that's a pretty elitist attitude. What does she plan on speaking?
I stand by my post.

MMM, Amnell is a HE. But I agree with the poster above you. What Amnell said isn't the slightest bit racist (he wasn't even talking about race, it was language). It can be extremely frustrating to go to a foreign country and then be surrounded by people from your country. It just makes the experience less exciting. e.g. I think Spain is a beautiful country, but I don't like going there because I seem to see more english people than spanish people. It defeats the point of a cultural experience.
