She's demanding that someone speak English while they are sitting with their family having dinner...  She's not asking them to speak English so that she can communicate with them (that would be an entirely different scenerio).  

Being hostile to someone for no other reason than them using a different language is very much racist.  The motivation behind it was nothing more than they were different people from a different place.  

no she isnt, the video doesnt starts when the interaction starts...

there is a difference between citizen that speak a foreign language and foreign people that speak their own native language.

and yes, people that refuse to speak the official language of their home country are different, and beeing hostile to them is right, they refuse to be a real part of society because they refuse to speak the common language.

Do you know what their citizenship status is?  Did this lady know their citizenship status before she accosted them?  

The US doesn't have an official language. 

There are situations where asking someone to speak English would be appropriate.  However, demanding that someone 'speak English or go back to Spain' is absolutely racism.  It's rooted in xenophobia, not the desire for communication.  People have every right to be different than the majority without harassment.  I'm sorry if you can't see that.
