Here's my take on this thing as a first generation american of west indian/caribbean decent.
As for the West Indian lady* she is here most likely for one single purpose: earning more of the almighty dollar. She does not have to like the people who were born here, she can say whatever she wants to. That is one of the beauties of this country. Also, she was clearly commenting on the person's behaviour, and disgusting it is.
Another thing that I would like to say is that by pointing out something or somebodys flaws, does not make you against them entirely. It just means that see something that needs to be reformed -- and that can come from a place of love, a neutral place, or a place of hatred. She was pointing out a flaw that happens to often on American streets (especially in NYC/subways).
* WHO EVER SAID SHE IS FROM WEST INDIA (I DID SEE IT UP THERE BEFORE, YOU ARE ONLY PROVING HER, AND OTHER PEOPLES POINT THAT AMERICANS ARE DUMB. THE REGION IS CALLED THE WEST INDIES, ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE CARIBBEAN!
EDIT:
Herp Derp.
On another note:You can take the lady outta West India but you can't take the West India outta her.
Her attitude towards Americans isn't going change just because she lives in America.
Its like an atheist that goes to a christian church.
