True. Except here, rather than saying "They shouldn't use the language of that woman's nation in a business!" they're saying "A woman who comes to a business here should not automatically expect to be served in her native tongue!"

If the manager wanted, he could hire mandarin speakers and place mandarin signs throughout the store. Apparently he hasn't done either, and because this woman was slighted she feels that he is being discriminatory.

While both are discussions about language, the two are fairly different.
