racist/ discrimination

In modern age nowadays racist and discrimination are still sadly always being involved around.
Racist - a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Discrimination - treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: racial and religious intolerance and discrimination.

Being a foreigner in a foreign country for more than a year, I faced a lot of both stated above, especially in work related. Having worked in customer service field, as I am proficient in English, I found customers were always nice to me. They were polite, and always understands my difficulty in whatever reason. But I felt my superiors were a bit off the track and I felt they were not fit for the positions they were in. As a superior, model and image for the company, you should be unbias, and calm in handling issues, hence your subordinate will felt your are the right individual that should be at this post.

I always felt not being treated fairly, maybe because I am sensitive or maybe I AM being treated unfairly. Couldn't care more now, I don't felt like want to go to work because of this and it had also demotivated me in my progress in work.

I reckon they think they are one step ahead of me because they are born here, and they speak English better than me, but excuse me, I can speak 3 different languages and I am not as proud as a peacock like them!

Anyway, I am not going to see them anymore longer than this week ( which is already making a year of hell!!) and I think they will not be having too much good days ahead, as I am taking action to complain of being treated unfairly in work, racism and discrimination.
