LAT: Meet the son who filmed his mother fighting racism at an L.A. IHOP

How is asking someone to speak English racist?

LAT: While waiting for a table at a branch in Koreatown, a woman interrupted a conversation between Vasquez and his mother. Vasquez started filming.

In the video, the woman yells at Vasquez’s mother for speaking Spanish, and demands that she speak English instead. Vasquez’s mother begins crying and yelling at the woman in English.
