There's zero tolerance for racism in our world right now, and that includes within our own Latino community. At a time when people and even politicians are coming after Latinos and all minorities, it is hard to believe that there are still people out there who choose to treat others around them unfairly instead of sticking together. That was the case for Alexandria Montgomery who attempted to go to her neighborhood Taco Bell for a late-night meal but was refused service because she didn't speak Spanish. Yes, you read that right. Spanish.

A worker, who appears to be Cuban, at a location for the fast food joint in Hialeah, Florida, did not take the customer's order on Wednesday, September 12, claiming that she didn't speak English, and that there was no one else at the franchise at the time who could understand Alexandria's order. Alexandria, who is African-American, then pulled up to the window and began filming and shared the now-viral interaction on Facebook, saying that the restaurant was "racist." It is clear in the video that the employee somewhat understood what the customer was saying, but continued to tell Alexandria to drive away so that she could serve other customers behind her. Call it what you want, but to me it's obvious what was really happening here: racism.
