When I come in the morning at work. Some of the girls that I work with dont have eye contact with me!? |
and they are not very friendly I am new to the department ( a few months now). I try to be friendly but I feel as though I am not liked because I am (black). I work in a secretarial environment. There is one particular person in supervisory role who is a bit of a trouble maker and I believe perhaps causing people to dislike me for no reason. You're not being paranoid. This is a COMMON complaint from the 'black community' in the UK. What makes it racist is when other whites join in instead of trying to help you. I'm surprised, (but then again maybe not), you did not add they'd talk amongst themselves and ignore you as much as possible. To ask what has colour got to do with it only shows ignorance about what 'blacks' have to put up with. Having said that I can't believe that many UK whites do NOT know what is going on. We live in the same world after all. It gets worse. Even if you go to your highest boss because everything is about black and white in this country, they'll try to pacify you or dismiss your complaint as trivial and not worth wasting their time over. The best you can do if you become even more unhappy is to locate your worker's handbook and follow procedure. They usually at least will follow their own guidelines - if they've got brains - to avoid ending up in court. No legislation or whatever however can make colleagues like you but you should DEMAND to be treated with respect. P.S DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BE FREINDLY WITH THEM! YOU TRIED. THE BALL IS IN THEIR COURT. BELIEVE ME THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND. SO JUST DO YOUR JOB AS BEST YOU CAN AND ONLY SPEAK WHEN NECESSARY. Source(s): Sadly through experience and LISTENING to what 'blacks' have said. Yes I agree with you. Thanks Racist punks. Thats all they are. Remember you're hired to work and not make friends. If your colleagues are not reciprocating, leave them alone. Give them some time to warm up to you. what's the colour of your skin has to do with it? maybe they don't like you because of your personality ... get over it, it's just work, get friends elsewhere |
