Racism in the work envroment

Just the other day I had some incident with a racist boss who made some snide remarks. 

I wont go into detail but it was some nasty racist stuff. 

How to deal with these racist bosses?

p.s on a sidenote most of the racism I have dealt with has been in the voluntary work sector. Where bosses can get away with alot of racist abuse as the volunteer has little rights. 

To go in breif details this female manager has done similar things to other asian workers. I felt like having a real go at her to give her a taste of her own medicine. I am still actually thinking of doing this. But then I thought as a man I should not do this to a woman. But maybe I should as this is the only way she will learn.

You are right, don't have a go at her but have you tried sitting down with her and talk? Why not record it and report it to someone higher than her that actually respects all employee's? 

(sorry if what I said sounds stupid I am still in uni lol)

Yes I did start this debate before. Let me give a brief overview. 

I work part time and have a day or two free in the week.SoI decided to give my free time and work for a local charity shop in my area for 1 day a week.

But as soon as I started working their I realised there was hostility towards Asian people. The managers were constantly yelling at staff and often making offensive comments. ie 'do you not speak english' at foreign born asian staff in a derogotary way. 

When I walked in the room this particular racist manager. remarked 'whats that funny smell?'

That was the last straw and I handed in my resignation. I could have at that point had a go at these people and told them to learn some manners and be greatful for the hardworking staff who are working for free. 

But I just made up some excuse that I did not have the time anymore to work there. I then walked off in a non aggresive way. only to be told by the racist manager that I was not someone they were looking for. I havent got time to go into details. but Im fuming at the moment.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
