    The three guys in the story were jerks, no doubt about it. That doesn't mean that someone making a xenophobic comment about an entire group of people (more than just 1 country, but several countries and parts of countries) is OK in the slightest. Honestly, I am surprised that hasn't been deleted.

    Hmm, I read it as background as the language barrier was a key component of the story.

    You're right, xenophobic is the better term. As technically we are not all different races, using the term racist is always technically incorrect. However, thanks for the correction.

    I meant the comment with the likes on it, not the OP's thread
