Television personality and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel was dubbed a racist after making a comment on social media about a shopping experience she had at Kmart.
The 45-year-old who first made her name on “Real Housewives of New York” lashed out about the retail giant’s lack of English-speaking employees available to help her.
Wow @Kmart has 2 registers open w 5 other employees standing around & two speak no English whatsoever. Shoes are sapatos right?

While not being able to get help because of a language barrier in your own country would probably agitate anyone social media savants were quick to pull the race card.
@Bethenny Learn it some language.You reek off xenophobia!

@Bethenny @Kmart You should vote for @realDonaldTrump. He can help you out with that.

@Bethenny @Kmart you know people are allowed to speak any language in this country, right? There is no official language. Racist as hell.

Others rushed to her defense.
@boyplsforehead That’s not racist ? There are real issues in this world, pick one. You don’t need to make them up in your head.

@brwneydgrl8 @Bethenny I defend Bethenny. An American store shouldn’t hire employees who can’t speak English. She should be P.O.ed.
