I thought I was hurt a lot by casually racist comments passed by coworkers in a small, relatively liberal town in the US Midwest.
Then I read about your experiences and count myself lucky. I can say nothing other than, I hope things get better over time.
- senthil_rajasek 5y agoThat is not a good comparison. It's not ok to pass casual racist comments. Casual racists comments and jokes fall into the micro-aggression category. Next time, I hope you build up the courage to tell your aggressors that you are not ok with racist comments.
- quadrifoliate 5y ago> That is not a good comparison. It's not ok to pass casual racist comments. You are right. It's not, and I didn't mean to diminish my experience, only amplify how the OP's seemed much worse. > Next time, I hope you build up the courage to tell your aggressors that you are not ok with racist comments. I did, a few years ago! I also left that job and warn other minority groups vocally about the hostile environment there.
