Yeah, I was hanging my argument on the word very. There's a lot of range between too loud and needing a manager to silence them.

Or said another way, I think the "too loud" complaint is an excuse for her racism. If it were a table of Italian-Americans, who can be every bit as loud, I doubt she says anything even if she thinks they are too loud.
