Bias is an ugly side of the human experiance, that thankfully the laws in this country will no longer tolerate. Try to keep in mind that bias is not a united states invention, nor a "white" invention, it has been around since the beginning of man kind, in it's more intellectualized name known as ethnocentrism, in which parents attempt to pass along to each succeding generation a set of rationale as to why we are the way we are, to wit 'because it is the right way to be" How many societies do you know of who raise their young with the expectation of "well, we're not as ~good~ as those other folks, our beliefs not as important, but still we are "good enough"? None. It's always more along the lines of "we do things this way because it is THE BEST way of doing things", think back to when you were a kid and mom said don't put coins in your mouth, you don't know where they have been. <br /> <br />I suppose it is predictable (notice I did NOT say "right"))that as these cultures with prefered ways of doing things came into cantact with one another, conflict was the result, and human nature being what it is, the predominant culture prevailed. <br /> <br />Where WE are lucky here in the united states is in the attempt by letter of law to make room for these differences <br />to co-exist in equality, although (as you are experiancing) it is not always a bump free process. . <br /> <br />I wish you well in your problem's resolution, and would advise you to doccument the problem as best you can, and then seek the assistance of the authorities, thankfully the pool of people willing to tolerate the old ways is growing ever smaller, every day.
