I agree
but I don't think it is racist if you actually can't understand what they are saying.

I recall my mum telling me she had the same thing in person with a doctor. Mum kept having to ask her to repeat herself and the women seemed to take it as being deliberate and racist.

Whenever I get bloods done, it's normally someone foreign... I need to make conversation when that's happening, conversation about anything that isn't what is happening.
So I ask them where they're from generally, "Oh, is it nice there? What's the food like? Do you go home often?...etc", as I have absolutly nothing in common. A few times people have taken it as a racist thing, "What is wrong coming from Hungry?" and stuff like that, so I say "Nah', nothing, I'm just making conversation and am interested in where people come from, their cultures and all that".

odd that someone would see that as racist
people are too sensitive I suspect. In fact, it's most likely political correctness gone mad

It's rare that happens, but it does happen. I'm afraid it really wouldn't suprise me, what with working in the NHS, they come across a lot of people who belittle forign workers there.

it's stupid
people should be belittled because they are shit, not because of where they are from.
