An American woman was forced to leave a Starbucks store in Walnut Creek, California, after unleashing offensive remarks to two Korean-speaking customers on Dec. 10, according to reports.

Video footage shows the woman appearing to get angry at the customers for speaking in Korean. She told the two that they should speak "English only" and she could not stand hearing "disgusting" Korean.

Sean Lee was tutoring a community college student, Annie An, at the time.

"If you can sit and be quiet, fine. But I don't want to hear your language," the woman said to the two students. "Especially that Oriental, I hate it."

A barista told the woman: "I'm sorry, but they are allowed to speak their language."

The woman fought back: "You know what, President Obama said that everyone in here, the majority in America, should speak English."

Two Starbucks employees asked the woman to leave, but later called police because she did not comply.
