12. Discriminatory

not racist. The teacher discriminates against the culture and language of non-english speakers. She also doesn't know that american is the condition of being native or common to the Americas which is not necessarily the United States "of" America.

As far as people fighting for the right to speak "American", Spanish is american and european just as English is american and european.

Either this teacher is trying to teach some deep lesson on discrimination and totally messed up her point and we don't hear the end of her point on this clip, or she's just full of stupid, narrow-minded, nationalist BS.
