&lt;blockquote&gt;Video on social media showed an unidentified man wearing a red &quot;Make America Great Again&quot; cap heatedly insisting that he was entitled to a seat and arguing with fellow passengers, at one point calling one a &quot;moron&quot; who didn&#039;t speak English.

The caps were popular in President Donald Trump&#039;s campaign.

Sunday&#039;s incident ended with local airport authorities escorting the man off the plane while angry passengers chanted &quot;Lock him up,&quot; cellphone footage showed. The chants likely also referred to the bitter election, when Trump frequently led chants of &quot;Lock her up&quot; about his rival, Hillary Clinton, who was accused of mishandling emails as secretary of state.

Passenger Clark Gredona wrote on Facebook that the man felt entitled to several seats next to him because he could not get an upgrade. He berated a female passenger by calling her &quot;Hillary&quot; and a &quot;lesbian,&quot; Gredona wrote.

...
The flight departed Shanghai five hours after its scheduled takeoff and made an unscheduled stop in San Francisco to change crew. It arrived in Newark at 2:25 a.m. Monday, eight hours after its scheduled landing time.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Gringos can&#039;t seem to stand hearing other people talking in a language other than theirs, even if the conversation is between other people and has nothing to do with them.  They seem to think that people are talking behind their backs about THEM, as if anybody really gave a shit.  And as this video demonstrates, what REALLY pisses them off is that the &quot;foreigner&quot; often turns out to speak better English than they do.

On the other hand, when they go to a foreign country as tourists, they expect every bartender, waiter, taxi driver, shopkeeper and desk clerk should be perfectly fluent in English and be instantly ready to service their every need.  And of course, when the foreigner does speak English, they make fun of his accent and criticize his grammar.

You need a dictionary definition for racist?  There you go.</description>
