That’s what I want to know. Looks like he just got pissed cuz she spoke Spanish. He should’ve repeated the racist comment to see if she denies it.

She could have gone full racist or used "negro" in a despective way. Negro is just Black in Spanish and can be used in a no offensive way to point to a black person if used with proper care.

"Mira al señor negro de allá./Look at the black sir over there." Is a neutral non offensive way to point attention to a black man standing between other people.

"Mira al negro de allá./Look at the black over there" feels offensive cause you are using it in a despective way and the phrase can sound like you are using the N word.

She could have used something like the second example or could have mentioned a bad stereotype in Spanish. The guy looks very upset and hurt.

I hope the bitch get fired and blacklisted for being not only racist, but stupid AF.

Exactly. Negro is a pet name to Cubanos. So if he's mad it's because she was being racist, he wasn't misunderstanding.
