If she does not like America, then she is free to go back to Africa.
I’d have fired her long before she opened her register. Bet this isn’t the first moronic stunt she’s pulled.
She can’t go “back” to Africa because she has not been to Africa - of any other country besides the U.S. That is true of a great many Americans of all ethnicity, of course (I myself turned 30 a couple of days into my first trip “abroad” - and that was Canada, which was hardly a transcendent culture shock).My point being that no one who says “America was never great” has any standing for that comment if who cannot name a country that they know to be better.
And even if she could point to such country, she would have to explain why she is still here, if she knows where life is better. And even that would not justify the historical claim that America was never great - only that she preferred (subjunctive mood) another country now.
Her best move would be to travel to Venezuela. That was a reasonably good country, a couple of decades ago. Now, after years of government as far from American ideals as possible, she can see what a country looks like - and feels, like, on an empty stomach - when it is actually is not great. People have been moving to America from India as fast as they can, to be in a country “where the poor people are fat."
So, the rules of the company include not wearing anything political. She knows this, yet she says she will continue wearing the hat.
Is she going to be surprised when they fire/suspend her or cut her hours? Will she scream racism?
