What you've said is just true bro, when it comes to work, employees face criticism, racial abuse from one another. In order to stay put on our workplace and maintain our position and not get ousted we should cultivate endurance spirit. When one of the employees in same workplace with us racially abuse is, insult us using provocative words, we shouldn't lash back to the employee at same time. We should maintain professionalism, and act responsibly by reporting the issue to the CS in order for the CS to arbitrage the issue for us. No need going for self defense, such might put us in trouble as well, because we joined the offender by taking laws into our hands. The management is there, they see about the welfare of the company, their is no way they'll allow an employee to be insulted by another without coming in rescue for one that is insulted.

The first thing you need to do is make sure you're not overreacting. It's important to remember that there are many different types of discrimination and it's possible that the person you're working with may not have been trying to discriminate against you.

If you think this is an issue, then the next step is contacting human resources. You can do this by going through your supervisor or sending an email directly to someone in HR.

They will be able to help you figure out if there's really a problem at work and what steps can be taken to resolve it. They may also be able to provide some advice on how best handle this situation so that it doesn't happen again in the future.

If nothing else, talking with HR about your concerns will help them better understand their policies regarding workplace discrimination so they can make sure everyone knows what is expected from them when dealing with these issues in the future. When speaking with your manager or HR representative, be sure to be calm and respectful; remember that they're on your side. Focus on what happened and how it made you feel, rather than accusing someone else directly this can help avoid an unnecessary confrontation. Make sure you have evidence (i.e., emails or texts) of any discriminatory behavior so that they can act quickly if necessary.

While discrimination in the workplace is illegal, it is still a reality for many people. If you are facing discriminatory behavior at work, whether it's being passed over for a promotion because of your race or gender or being treated differently because you're disabled, you have rights.
Here's what you need to know about how to handle workplace discrimination.

1. Know Your Rights The first step in dealing with workplace discrimination is knowing what your rights are as an employee. The federal government has laws that protect against discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion and national origin; sex (including pregnancy); and disability, but some states offer additional protections. You can find out if your state offers additional protections by contacting your state department of labor office.
2. Get Support From Others As with any difficult situation, talking about what's happening can help you feel empowered by sharing your experiences with others who can relate or offer advice on how they've dealt with similar problems before. If possible, talk with a friend or family member who understands what you're going through before approaching an HR representative or another manager at work, they may be able to offer support without risking their own jobs.
