For all I know, he might not speak a lick of Spanish. Where you live seems pretty backwards.

I'm not saying it's wrong to use English if the customer has proven himself incompetent in the language. But only after rather than racially profiling.

because japan just like my country doesn't have diverse native ethnicity as opposed to england or usa where blacks, hispanics and the rest of the world is represented in masses. i maybe see 3 black people in a month. and that is just maybe. and i know for a fact that they don't speak my language. same is in Japan. they can easily tell people apart from looks and their likely language ability because just like with my country there are almost no other native ethnicities (except for some other asians like Korea or China)

so, just because your country is coloured like a rainbow doesn't mean it stands superior to other that aren't. that is why they don't bother.
