21-year-old college student infuriates cafeteria stranger with her "genuine question": 'You feel entitled to an answer'

For many young adults, the start of freshman year of college is the first time they're really out on their own. They're freshly 18 or 19 years old and know very little about the world outside their hometown. They arrive at college and suddenly, they're surrounded by people from across the country, people from the other side of the planet, folks who barely speak the same language, and people from 18 to 100 years old. It's a big melting pot — everyone is there to gain an education. 

Now, if you've been around the same types of people in your hometown for the last 18 years or so, you might find yourself dealing with a bit of culture shock. Maybe you're surprised by the things that people wear or eat. The way to deal with that is just to learn about other cultures, and maybe even make friends with people who are different than you. But this 21-year-old still has a lot of learning to do and a lot of "minding her business" to do, at the urging of internet commenters who were infuriated at how she treated a random stranger in the cafeteria.
