...when she heard the young lady speak, she should have known that she was born & raised American. She sounded like young women in 100 other parts of the country.
So, "back to your own country", reply, " Oh, you're from america." should have been the exchange.
But, racism & xenophobia are powerful motivators to find the wrong thing to do.
Mental state notwithstanding, she found the wrong thing to do, plus she got the taste slapped out of her mouth.
Paranoia or not, keep your hands to yourself!
