Last Thursday someone called me a "fucking Jew". Called me repetitiously enjoying these two words tasting them as a chicken bone. He added (apparently because I am a "fucking Jew") - you are fucking scheister. I've heard it so many times when I was boy when I lived in the USSR and not necessarily about myself. But it was the soviet union where government was trying to keep the certain level of antisemitism in case if they need to find the "internal enemy" due to poor economy and lack of food supply to ordinary people.
But here in the USA in 21st century it is rather odd and after all it is nit acceptable if you hear at work, publicly and from your colleague who happens to be Iranian.
It would not be that much problems bothering me if:
1) the guy is abusive to other people (not Jews)
Because:
1.1) he was appointed by his cousin to oversee the company finance
1.2) therefore he feels that he can do in the company everything what he wants because of 1.1)
2) he is antisemitic and he doesn't hide his hates to Israel. I'm not neither traditional Jew nor religious. But remarks about Israel and Jews forced me to wear at work yarmulke (kippah).
3) if I leave this case without consequences (as is) it can be repeated over and over again.
I reported to my boss (the company owner and this guy's cousin). He told me that I should reply to his cousin that he is a fucking Muslim. Nice! After all he suddenly recalled that he is running the company, and said that I should chill and he will talk to him and, of course, nobody should use such language in his company. At the end he suggested I take a day off and talk about it on Monday.
Now I have a dilemma, I.e. Either to require this guy get out of the company or to go to my lawyer and file the case.
Wait till Monday. Life doesn't allow me to be bored.
Я прошу прощения у всех, кто не читает по-английски: я перенесла этот пост целиком из блога сотрудника моего моего мужа. Вот ссылка не него:
