So i would like to let the world know the story with me and my first encounter withdiscrimination. So last wednesday i believe, i went to Siliman center with doug ( who works there ) to turn in my application. Doug gave it to his manager named Sam. While i was waiting for doug behind the front desk, Doug was talking to Sam in the back room about my application. Suddenly hear her say to doug "Doug I don't need anymore chinese people working here," once i heard that i started feeling somewhat iffy about working there, THEN she comes outside of the room and looks at me and says "sorry but your too ASIAN to work here, we're looking for more white people." I was so fucking shocked and surprised that someone said something so disrespectful to me, especially someone i don't even know at all. I commented her back saying "excuse i'm not asian ( because i believe i'm pacific islander )." She walks back to the room and tells doug "your friend has no sense of humor." Do not ever joke like that to someone you have never met in your life, especially when your working because thats considered unprofessional, racist, and discrimination. Because ONE i may be stereotyped as quote on quote ASIAN but i'm definitely not. When students fill out there scantrons for a test, and it says fill in Ethnicity, there is section that says "Asian" and there is another section that says "Filipino/PACIFIC ISLAND"; thus, I'm considered Pacific Islander not Asian. And TWO, i felt discriminated because she would not hire me cause of my race, and I was not white. I'm pretty sure our country does not tolerate those type of behavior anymore anywhere. This makes Sam look HELLA racist because ONE shes white, and TWO she white AND FAT! If i was to assume her lifestyle based off what she said and her behavior, she looked like she came from a rich white family, who is daddy's girl but shes too sad because she can't get no dick based off her size, so she bitches at everyone releases her depressed feeling about her fat self. OUCH!
So i ended up going back yesterday, and filed a complaint to her manager. She was hella pissed when i told her and hopefully she does something about this. I didn't on her to ruin lives, i did it cause i never really experienced anything like that before and i felt like i was mature enough to hopefully get her fat ass fired!
Lesson of today, don't ever stereotype someone and say something racist to them especially when your on the job. Always think before you talk. Peace
